If you haven’t already started, it’s time to get going with your Christmas shopping.

With just a payday or two left until the big day, it’s worth getting it all done and avoiding the rush nearer the time.

If you’re buying for a woman and aren’t sure what to get her, we’ve got you covered.

Our 2022 gift guide features everything from snuggly nightwear to foodie gadgets, with something for pretty much everyone’s tastes.

Given the cost of living crisis means many will be cutting back on their spending over the festive season, we’ve also featured products from a range of price points.

It’s the thought that counts after all, but you don’t need to spend loads for impressive presents that’ll make their Christmas Day.
