23 Feb 2024

If there’s the right time to be panicking, it is now: there’s nothing like the anxiety of not having your Secret Santa presents yet when Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and you don’t know where to shop. But we’ve got your back – this non-exhaustive list of gifts for every budget will help you tide over the season. 


Psst… our driver-partners aren’t couriers – if you want to deliver your presents to your loved ones, make sure you’re in the car with the gifts!

It’s the gift that literally keeps on giving. If you’ve got friends or family with green thumbs, get them a plant or two from Noah Garden Centre, which even has a Christmas plant collection – think the likes of scarlet poinsettias, intricate wreaths, and live Christmas trees.

Quite possibly the most iconic coat hook in the history of all coat hooks, this piece created by Charles and Ray Eames will as beautiful today on your wall as it did in 1953. Comes in many colors, including multi, walnut, as well as monochromatic white and black for the minimalist at heart.
