The festive season may be over, but the magic lives on! We'll be back next year with more top Christmas gift recommendations for 2025. Until then, explore our list of 2024’s hottest Christmas gifts.

Choosing the best Christmas gifts for Christmas is about finding items that align with the interests of the people you’re buying for. Here are some tips for getting it right:

· Hobbies: Does the person have a special interest, such as Marvel movies? If so, they’re more likely to appreciate your gift if it connects in some way to that interest.

· Needs: Perhaps you’ve noticed that the person might need something for their home – such as a set of champagne flutes or an air fryer. If so, this could be your chance to buy the perfect gift.

· Taste: What kind of colours does this person wear? Do they have a distinctive home décor aesthetic? Try to buy gifts that suit your gift recipient’s taste.

Many families choose to exchange gifts on Christmas Day – although there are exceptions to this rule. Here are some other options:

· Christmas Eve: Sometimes people choose to give each other gifts on Christmas Eve – this is quite common for families with European or Latin American backgrounds.

· Boxing Day: The day after Christmas is a public holiday in Australia, making Boxing Day a good choice for present giving.

· New Year’s Eve: In some cultures, there’s also a practice of exchanging presents on New Year’s Eve.

Ultimately, there are no firm rules. If the time feels right, you should go ahead and give your loved ones their gifts!

In Australia, it’s common for people to open their presents on Christmas morning when everyone is gathered together. However, there are many different traditions – for instance, some families choose to open their gifts on Christmas Eve.  

The timing of your present opening can be decided by your family. Do what works best, and don’t forget to leave Santa a snack for travelling such a long way on his voyage Down Under!
