The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide 2025

Whoever you're shopping for, you'll be spoiled for choice with our selection of gifts: check out our top picks from our new-in womenswear range for inspiration. Complete her festive outfits with a pair of party shoes – like these deep red embellished slingbacks – some striking jewellery, or a new handbag.

Perfume is always a winning gift idea too: you'll find a range of scents from top beauty brands at M&S, from Floral Street to Clinique and Estée Lauder. Looking for more Christmas gift ideas for her? Read our guide here.

With great gifts for the kids in your life, you can make their Christmas even more magical. Delight LEGO fans with a set that'll keep them occupied for hours, or try an educational toy by Early Learning Centre. Visit our Character Shop for toys, clothes and accessories inspired by their favourite fictional friends, from Disney Princesses to Paddington and Spiderman.

For babies, choose from our selection of soft toys, or go for a cute seasonal outfit to dial up the aww-factor. Need more Christmas gift ideas for kids? We've put together a guide here.

From Benefit to Elizabeth Arden, Neom to Nuxe, our selection of top beauty brands makes M&S the ideal one-stop shop for make-up and skincare gifts. For an easy present idea, go for a failsafe make-up staple: Clinique's Almost Lipsticks looks great on every skin tone, while Benefit's Badgal Bang! mascara is universally loved by beauty fans.

If there's someone on your gift list who deserves a little me-time, treat them to a pampering gift set. Try L'Occitane, Neal's Yard Remedies and Apothecary for nourishing bath and body products with inviting aromas that will pamper and invigorate.

Or, why not treat someone to a pre-Christmas gift and indulge them with our beauty advent calendar? The products from brands such as Estee Lauder, Clinique and Emma Hardie are worth £330, but can be yours for just £60 when you spend £35 on clothing, homeware or beauty.

Buying a Christmas gift for a couple can initially seem daunting, as you have two people to please rather than one, but we have lots of ideas to help you choose. The key is to think about their lifestyle and the things they enjoy doing together as a couple. Luxury items such as a food or drink hamper or matching cashmere gloves or hats are always lovely to receive. Another idea is a selection of wellness and beauty products for an intimate pampering session for two.

And, if you're still stuck for ideas: why not treat them to a gift card to spend on exactly what they want? You can load any amount from £10 to £500.
