It’s that time of the year again… of happy days and sparkling nights. Of cool evenings spent with warm company. Of celebrating love and friendship. And of giving and receiving gifts, as a way of celebration. After the huge success of our last Christmas gift guide from Amazon, I’m back with another edition of Christmas gift ideas from the go-to shopping hot spot for most of us.
51 Christmas Gift Ideas From Amazon
I love the ease of shopping from Amazon. But honestly, the searching is far from easy. I guess that’s the disadvantage of having a few million products listed on the website. The first few that show up when you put in a search query are not necessarily what you had in mind. This is more so if you are looking for something unusual and unique.
So here, I’ve done a lot of the homework for you. I’ve searched and searched.. and searched some more.. and stopped at things that I would be very happy to receive myself as Christmas gifts. And here is a list of them.
Christmas Ornaments
These make great gifts for anyone who puts up a Christmas tree every year. It’s boring to decorate it the same way, with the same ornaments every single year. So some unusual and pretty Christmas ornaments will always be welcome.
1 – Clear Glass Ball Ornaments – With a little bit of Christmas packed into each one of these, aren’t they just the prettiest?
2 – Christmas Ribbon – Whether you use it for wrapping gifts, hanging Christmas ornaments from the tree or as decor for a Christmas tablescape, this set of 5 ribbons would make a really useful addition to any Christmas celebration.
3 – Wooden Christmas Tree Ornaments – These are a set of wooden, laser cut, reindeer pendants. I think the natural wood tones would make them perfect to add texture to an all white tree and help balance the vibrant tones of a colourful one. They easily fit the ‘unusual’ label too!
4 – Hanging Christmas Dolls – Santa Claus, a snowman, an elk and a bear. These 4 ornaments are large enough to make a set of Christmas soft toys for a child, and small enough to use as ornaments or Christmas decoration. They are also incredibly cute.
5 – Mini Tree LED String – Can you think of a more Christmassy set of string lights to decorate with?
Calenders & Planners
If you are half as fond of stationery as I am, then one of these amazing planners for 2022 would be an awesome gift to celebrate Christmas and get set for the New Year!
6 – Doodle Yearly Planner – This diary consists of 216 pages that include monthly planners, todo pages, tear away quote cards and fun pages like movies to watch and letters to your future self.
7 – Doodle Premium Planner – Includes all of the above with a pocket diary and 4 fun sticker sheets too!
8 – Alicia Souza Ultimate Planner – This amazing planner comes with an additional pocket planner and a sticker book, all put together into a beautiful magnetic box. The planner includes goals and todos, budget planners, goal and habit trackers and lots more fun and useful pages.
9 – Endearing India Calendar – This desk calendar includes illustrated post cards, letter pad sheets with envelopes and sticker sheets, all packed beautifully in a magnetic illustrated box.
10 – Flourescence Laptop Table – This is a super useful addition to not just a work from home, but even a work from bed set up! Part of the table tilts up to support a book or tablet when required, while the other part remains horizontal to keep everything else from rolling off. It also has a slim drawer to pack away all your stationery at the end of the day.
Festive Furnishings
Whether a white Christmas, or a vibrant one.. home furnishings always make for good gifts during festivals. While gifting soft furnishings, do keep in mind the decor style and colour scheme of the home. There’s no point gifting white fur cushions to someone with an ethnic home, or bright pink paisleys to a friend whose home is more understated.
11 – Faux Fur Cushion – Doesn’t this one immediately bring to mind a warm white Christmas?
12 – Eyelash Pillow – These silver sequin eyelashes are as girly girl and festive as it gets.
13 – Bow Cushion – This extra soft, cute, bow cushion is another great addition to a chic Christmas vibe.
14 – Mirror Work Cushion – The mirror hand work on this pink cushion has just the right kind of festive feels to it.
15 – Gulzar Jaal Cushion Cover – Traditional prints in jewel toned colours always look festive and are a welcome addition in most Indian homes.
16 – Kanha Cushion Cover – You can personalise your gift by mixing and matching cushion covers of various sizes and designs to make a set that is exclusive. Again, having an idea of the colour scheme and design style of your friend’s home will help you make a set that is suitable for them.
17 – Cotton Floor Rug – Layering your home with rugs during the cold months helps bring in a warm, cozy vibe to your home. So rugs make great gifts during this season.
Tempting Tablescapes
Don’t all celebrations involve wining and dining? Everyone needs beautiful serve ware and table furnishings to set up pretty tablescapes when they host. Once again, keep in mind the basic design aesthetic of the recipient. Look for pieces that will help add to her existing collection of table ware, rather than take away from it by being a complete contrast to her taste.
18 – Leather Tissue Box – A box to easily stack and serve party tissues is quite a necessity while entertaining. I like how convenient these are to use. The tissues are basically stacked open so they are easy to pull and use when required. Yet the curved metal rod acts as a weight and prevents them from flying all over the place.
19 – Dinner Napkins – We all tend to use party tissues these days for convenience. Using cotton napkins makes the table setting look much more classy and stylish. This is especially true for sit down dinners.
20 – Anar Table Runner – Runners are a great way to add colour and vibrancy to a table setting. You can use them directly on the table top, or layer them on top of a table cloth. Either way, they help to make your tablescape more formal and dressy.
21 – Suzani Place Mats – A vibrant print on a bright red immediately has me thinking Christmas!
22 – Cheer Platters – Red, green, bright and happy, these platters would work well for a Christmas themed party. And I’d be just as happy to use them on any other day too.
23 – Wooden Round Tray – I can think of many ways to use this lovely green and gold wooden tray. It can be used as a starter or cheese platter. You could also use it as a base to make a coffee table vignette, by placing candles, flowers and other decor on it.
24 – Macrame Napkin Rings – These beautiful rings to hold your napkins and cutlery on the table are a certain way to up your table decor game.
25 – Marble Tray – When you aren’t sure of your host’s design style, a gift like this works wonders. This white and gold tray would fit well into a modern, eclectic or ethnic home. It would go perfectly with monochromatic decor or vibrant colours. It’s a super pick for when you are in doubt.
Time For A Drink
Some of these aren’t what you would typically pick for a Christmas gift. But they are unusual finds that I would love to have in my home. And that’s what makes a perfect gift, doesn’t it?
26 – Copper Water Jar – Copper is known to have antioxidant, anti-microbial and anti-carcinogenic properties and helps improve digestion. So storing water in a copper jar makes a whole lot of sense for your health. Also makes a whole lot of decor sense when the jar is as pretty as this one.
27 – Snowflake Platter – The brass inlay snowflake in the marble platter is just the right touch of Christmas.
28 – Leaf Platter – This is a large sized, ceramic, cheese and starter platter.
29 – Gold and Glass Mug – I’d be happy to serve hot chocolate or hot toddy in this mug. Love how the gold handle adds the festive vibe!
30 – Bone China Coffee Mugs – An elegant design, with a gorgeous motif and perfect detailing make this a great gift for any occasion.
31 – Wine Bottle Bags – Whether you’re gifting someone a bottle of wine, or laying it out in your own bar, these bottle bags bring the Christmas mood to the party instantly.
32 – Marble Coaster Set – Here’s another timeless and any-style classic. These are available in round, square or heart shaped sets.
33 – Copper Jug Set – We spoke about the benefits of copper above. This jug is a beautiful way to enjoy them!
34 – Hexagonal Tray – This black and white stripe, bone inlay tray is a classic that will never go out of style.
Time To Glow!
Nothing can make you feel more pampered than luxurious, beautifully scented, bath and body products. They will, forever, make great Christmas gift ideas.
35 – Strawberry Collection – Who says strawberries are just for eating. A true strawberry lover will bathe in them… quite literally. One of my all time faves, you can’t go wrong with this set of shower gel, body yogurt and lip butter.
36 – Gift Kit For Him – This set of facewash, after shave and moisturizer is my way of making sure that ‘he’ doesn’t feel neglected in this section of Christmas gift ideas.
37 – Sugar Soap Gift Box – This set of luxury soaps is infused with floral pure essential oils. A sure way to make anyone feel pampered.
38 – Almond & Vanilla – Here’s another set of favourites for those who don’t like strong, fruity scents. It includes an almond milk body yogurt and bath milk, and the most dreamily scented vanilla body mist.
Time To Grow
We now reach my favourite section of our Christmas gift ideas… plants and garden accessories. They fit into any home, any decor style and, if taken care of, will outlive almost any other gift you can give. I have started gifting plants more often as I realise how you can’t go wrong with them.. and how they always make me happy.
39 – Wall Planters – These are vibrant, hand painted, ceramic planters that are small enough to fit on almost any wall, and will yet add life and colour to it.
40 – Watering Can – This delicate, stainless steel watering can would make a good gift for a true plant lover.
41 – Posing Alice – This cute, hand painted, metal sculpture is ideal as a garden showpiece, but can also be used as decor elsewhere, around the home.
42 – Planters on Stand – Neat lines and a simple black and gold make these chic and stylish to fit into any space.
43 – Metal Moose – This ‘Mischievous Moose’ is supposed to bring a fun Christmas to your garden decor.
44 – Macrame Basket Hanger – Love the boho vibe of this one. You could use it as a plant hanger, or even as a newspaper and magazine rack on the wall.
45 – Christmas Cactus – Though I’ve never grown one myself, they say it is easy to grow. The red and the green definitely makes it look all Christmassy!
Pretty Things
And finally, let’s wrap up our list of Christmas gift ideas with a few pretty things to make you smile.
46 – Sling Bag – This cute sling bag is available in a dozen patterns and will certainly make a young girl happy.
47 – Macrame Lamp – A lovely lamp to brighter up the indoors or even a balcony. Would work well with most decor styles.
48 – Embroidered Clutch – Beautifully embroidered with a boho vibe.. I love the pastel colours too.
49 – Macrame Dream Catchers – Stars, moons and twinkling fairy lights.. this set of hangers is bursting with dreamy Christmas vibes.
50 – Butterfly Tealight Holders – Love how delicate these are. I can only imagine the beautiful shadows that would be cast by the candle lit between the two butterflies.
51 – Leather Lantern – The leather strap details on the glass lantern are all heart!

And with that, it’s a wrap. But time for you to start shopping before you get to the wrapping stage. (Ok.. sorry about this lame pun! 🙂 )
