Take a second, ask yourself: what should I ask for christmas? At this time of year, searching for the best Christmas gifts for women, or for everyone else, can occupy all your time. We’ve been too busy hunting perfect presents for our nearest and dearest to really think about what we would like to unwrap.

Bypass that awkward grimace on the morning of the 25th when you find yourself thanking a sibling for an absurdly misjudged present by answering your loved ones with a specific gift idea when they inevitably ask, ‘what would you like for Christmas?’

While we can’t speak to everyone’s tastes we’ve found 27 gifts that are trendy, tasteful, timeless, fun and useful. They are things we can’t justify buying ourselves but would really, really like. Take a look for yourself and then send a link to Santa
