Christmas is on its way! It’s December tomorrow, and it’s time to start Christmas shopping. To help you find the perfect presents for your family and friends, I’ve searched the UK for great Christmas gifts. Whether you’re looking for ideas for travel lovers, food fanatics, or fashionistas, for women, men, or children, I’ve handpicked great gifts for everyone. So here’s A Lady in London’s Christmas gift guide…
Christmas Gifts for Fashionistas
Zalando.co.uk is an online fashion company that sells over 1,000 brands. They carry a wide range of styles from British names like Anna Field and Ted Baker, as well as the biggest travel and high street shops. They also offer express overnight shipping, free delivery and returns regardless of the purchase price, and 30 days to return your products. Their website is a good place to find the perfect Christmas gift for the fashion lover in your life!
UK luxury leather goods maker Tusting has been inspired by the British royal family this year, with Princess Charlotte entering the world and Queen Elizabeth becoming Britain’s longest reigning monarch. The company has designed a capsule luggage collection of two beautiful holdalls with matching travel accessories especially for ladies—luggage with feminine, regal style.
This new Sandringham Collection of luggage is handmade from soft, glossy full-grain leather by expert leather crafters in Tusting’s British factory. The elegant color scheme of dark navy blue with sky blue trim coordinates with a range of their bestselling items, too. Tusting also undertakes customization of their bags for special order, so if you have a special Christmas wish, make sure to get in touch!
Christmas Gifts for Travel Lovers

Clickstay believes that memories and experiences can make the best presents, so giving the gift of a holiday this Christmas is the perfect way to share an experience with a loved one that loves to travel! They have over 11,000 holiday homes to rent worldwide, including villas, apartments, cottages, and boats. Their self-catering villas and apartments offer total privacy and can lead to significant savings compared to hotels. Clickstay’s secure online payments system has been praised by Money Saving Expert and Watchdog, and they have a UK-based customer service team that can help with any queries.
AirPortr has a new same-day luggage transfer service that offers travel savvy Londoners and visitors the freedom of flying without the burden of carrying luggage to and from the airport. They’ll collect your luggage from your hotel, home, or office before you go, and take it to the airport later that day so you can travel bag-free. When you arrive in London, they’ll deliver your luggage to where you need it to be within hours, leaving you free to make the most of your day. It’s a great gift for any travel lover, especially those that can’t leave home without that extra pair (or three) of shoes (or skis, or bikes, or anything else!).
AirPortr is active at London City and Gatwick airports, and they’re launching at Heathrow in December, just in time for Christmas! To book or find out more, you can contact them on 0203 384 6677 or visit their website at http://www.portr.com.
Christmas Gifts for Foodies
Eating London offers off-the-beaten path walking food tours through two of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. In the evening, you can take a culinary stroll through Soho, sampling the area’s international cuisine and cocktails on their Twilight Soho Food Tour. In the daytime, you can meander the streets of the hip East End, tasting the best of British—from fish & chips to the nation’s beloved curry—on their East End Food Tour. Both tours introduce the great variety and quality of food in Britain, and give your loved one a flavor of local life and culture.
Eating London also has sister food tour companies in Amsterdam, Prague and Rome, so if you’re heading to Europe this Christmas, there’s something for the foodie in your life!
Christmas Gifts for Animal Lovers
My Christmas gift guide wouldn’t be complete without the inclusion of a worthy cause. Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK, and is one of my favorite charities. They have lots of adorable dogs for rehoming, and run outreach programs, educational events, and other activities. With rehoming centers all over Britain, Dogs Trust’s mission is to bring about a day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.
A great Christmas gift for the animal lover in your life is a sponsorship for a dog at Dogs Trust. The recipient will receive three updates a year from their chosen dog and a sponsorship pack with lots of goodies. They’ll also get the Dogs Trust magazine, each edition of which has heartwarming stories and photos. You can choose a sponsor dog here.
