From TikTok-obsessed teens and sisters who have it all, to the most difficult giftee of all… yep, you guessed it, your father-in-law.

Our buyers have been on a crash-course in The North Pole with the big man himself to help bring you the most unbelievable deals on the most incredible brands, so you don’t have to compromise this Christmas, whatever your budget. No thinking outside the gift box needed, just a little (well, big) helping hand from us at TK Maxx. ‘Tis the season to gift better than you thought you could...

Gifts for her

For the mum who spends her life putting everyone else first, the bestie who's just gone through a breakup and every auntie, niece, sister and fussy mother-in-law in between, only the best gifts in all the land will do for her. For fashionistas, blow her designer socks off with the 'It' bag of the season. For jewellery lovers, wow 'em with gold plated bracelets and diamond jewels galore. (Yes, we sell diamonds.) And for the chic aunt, only a traditional fragrance or cashmere scarf will do, darling. Treat the women in your life and run Rudolph run for our gifts for her that are sat sparkling, ready and waiting to be wrapped up for Christmas Day.

Gifts for him

Repeat after us: Thou shalt not buy socks. Well, if you do, at least make sure they’re a snazzy boxed designer pair, eh? When there's an array of crowd-pleasing gifts for him on offer (and all for up to 60% less* might we add), the gifts for him possibilities are endless. From luxe designer fragrances and wool blend scarves to leather wallets, skincare saviours, grooming goodies and that designer watch he's always wanted, these gifts for him nail the 'I-don't-want-anything-but-don't-really-mean-that' brief every single time.

Gifts for home enthusiasts

Their home is a sea of unopened coffee table books, fancy-pants candles that are for decorative purposes only and the kitchen definitely looks like it's never been used. Sounds like you've got an interiors obsessive on your hands. So why gift them a scarf they're never going to wear when you could gift them the faux fur throw of dreams that'll compliment that teddy armchair beautifully? From exquisite handwoven baskets and luxury glassware to coffee table books galore and our outrageously good candle selection, one walk in our homeware wonderland and you’ll have Christmas wrapped up in no time.

How fab-yule-ous.

Gifts for someone you don't know *that* well

If it's a toss up between helping your 97 year old grandma complete a 1000 piece puzzle or finding the perfect Christmas present for a glorified stranger, we know which one we'd pick. The latter, obviously. Why, do we hear you ask? Easy. From a boxed gift that does the most to a foolproof candle that looks like you know them reaaaaally well, it's a no-brainer. Razzle dazzle everyone from the courier that goes above and beyond and Barbara-next-door who feeds the cat while you're away, to your favourite barista, kids' teacher and everyone in between.

  • Boxed Gifts

    Allow us to tell you why we loved boxed gifts so much. Firstly, nothing bad ever comes in a snazzy box, does it? They ooze luxury, scream sophistication, and their square structure means they're wrapped in the blink of a mince pie. Must we go on?

  • Candles

    Christmas life hack = buy an emergency stash of candles for last-minute invites and panic presents. Our fancy-pants ones will make it look like you got their prezzie from that super posh department store (and you'll save up to 60%*). Sleighed it.

Gift Cards

Imagine a prezzie that *everyone* will love… our never-expiring gift cards may just be it. Add any amount, personalise them, send digitally and the lucky giftee can snap up big brands at TK Maxx and Homesense. Perfect for any TK Maxx and Homesense superfans you may have on your Christmas list.

Gifts for tech whizzes

Some of us speak tech, and some of us (*cough Grandma*) erm, don't. The good news is you don't need to speak tech to secure top Christmas gifts for your gadget-loving family and friends. Ok, you can breathe a sigh of relief now. Our edit does all the hard work for you, so simply filter by your budget and we'll make it rain wireless earphones, charging trays, state of the art speakers and teenager-approved phone cases galore. All with double-take savings of course...

Secret Santa stress? Nope, sorry. Never heard of it.

We’ve all been there. You’ve been at your job a grand total of three weeks, when you’re suddenly forced into the office Secret Santa and given two weeks to buy a woman you’ve never spoken to a gift for under a tenner. Impossible, right? Wrong. Our handpicked edits are tailored by budgets and are bursting with get-it-right-every-single-time gifts with a 99.9% office Secret Santa success rate. Well, so we’ve heard…

The ultimate present wrapping hacks

Ahh gift wrapping… you either love it, or you hate it (with a passion). Whichever side of the fence you sit on, it’s an unavoidable part of Christmas gifting, sorry. Allow us to make the biggest chore of Christmas (well, apart from peeling those spuds) that little bit easier with our gift wrapping ideas that'll teach you how to wrap even the trickest of presents. Who knows, you might even find yourself enjoying it. Never sleigh never…

  • Wrap diagonally to save paper

    An age-old gift wrapping hack for some, the diagonal trick went viral last Chrimbo and we’ve never looked back since. Wrap diagonally, not horizontally or vertically, and it cuts down on the redundant areas of paper. You can’t argue with geometry, can ya?

  • Odd shaped gifts? Shove it in a box

    Save yourself some pennies (and stress) and cover any spare boxes you have lying round the house with Christmas wrapping paper. Pop your awkward prezzie in, et voilà… a perfectly wrapped gift with no meltdown required.

  • Save ribbons throughout the year

    Those random bits of ribbons you find yourself receiving and throwing away throughout the year? Save them and they’ll save you from having to fork out on ribbons for your prezzies every Christmas.

  • Co-ordinate your paper with your tree decor

    No spare room to shove all the wrapped Christmas presents in? Co-ordinate your wrapping paper with your Christmas tree decorations and hey Rudolph, a festive display come storage solution that looks like it was totally planned. Tree-mendous.
