Gift of someone who loves Christmas and counts down all year?

[freckles20]

A have an absolutely lovely friend who has been a huge support this year. We don't usually buy gifts and so it's just a small token really.

I'd love to get her a mug or something for someone who counts down to Christmas all year, or who adores Christmas etc..

I've had a google but haven't found anything so I thought I'd ask the wonder that is Mumsnet.

What about an Emma Bridgewater Christmas range mug? Classy.

Personalised ornament with all her family members' names?

What's your budget?

The Christmas chronicles by Nigel sister - it's a lovely warm
Countdown from 1st Nov, full of lovely stories and recipes. There's a thread about it.

What's your budget?

If it was me, I'd love something for my tree. Some special baubles....

Is this the sort of thing you’re thinking of?
Or this one perhaps?

I sound similar to your friend, as I adore Christmas. I absolutely love Christmas books or magazines; my lovely sister usually gets me a new Christmas book each year and I am always over the moon

I was going to suggest the Nigel Slater book if she enjoys cooking.
Other lovely Christmas books:
A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas (it's a beautifully illustrated children's book, but as you can imagine, the language is superlative)
A Christmas Compendium
Or, a special decoration? Something vintage? Or one of the one-off baubles? A Christmas candle?

How about a perpetual "weeks to Christmas" calendar?

I bought this as a gift in similar circumstances and it worked well as it's palatable to non-Christmas-y people too and can be used all year round.

Second the Nigel Slater Christmas Chronicles

Or Advent - German Bakes book is gorgeous

A lovely snow globe?

A lovely set of baubles?

I would like some special table ware or a very special Christmas bauble that I can bring out every year with its memories.

I bought a couple of personalised tree decorations from Etsy last year. One wooden and one ceramic star.

I'm a Christmas lover who counts down to Christmas.
A great friend of mine bought me a beautiful Christmas planner for my birthday (in the summer) which I love.

Another idea may be a calendar with a countdown, but a bright and funny one - you can get a photo calendar using wowcher for very little at the moment. You could fill each month with a little countdown meme / picture and in most of them, you can add messages on certain days so you could have random messages like 'we're halfway there' and 'it's Christmas next month' etc.

I have this;

And it fills me with joy all year. It’s a five year one, so will last a while.

Christmas scented candle

Recommend Yankee or Self Care Co

Oh I love Christmas and am exactly the same as your friend… I would love a beautiful snow globe or that planner that @Sn0tnose linked to, or maybe a really special set of baubles, although I think that would be quite taste specific
