Tis the season to be jolly

Christmas time is a time to celebrate, to spend time with loved ones, to give and receive presents, and often for the adults, drinking a fair amount of alcohol without feeling guilty because it’s the festive season after all!

 

The link between Christmas and wine is a very strong one, it is even a big part of the infamous 1988 Cliff Richard song, “Mistletoe and Wine” so at Christmas time eat, drink and be merry.

 

Here at A1 Gifts we have a great gift to help you do this. Our personalised Christmas wine is perfect to share with friends and family or if you prefer, to enjoy alone.

 

Imagine the scene, it’s Christmas day, the turkey is being carved and dished up, the kids are washed and sitting at the table and in the middle of the table is your own personalised bottle of Christmas wine. Not only will it look great on any Christmas table but it can be enjoyed during or even after dinner.

You can choose from white, red or rose and each bottle has a great Christmas design on the label; plus after you have drunk the contents you can keep the bottle as a memento of this festive season.Make this Christmas personal with a personalised Christmas wine.

Who's your secret Santa?

A popular tradition at Christmas during the past few decades has been secret Santa. This involves putting everyone who is taking part’s name in a hat and getting them to pick a name out. Whoever they pick out is the person they need to buy a present for.

This is a great way to give gifts within in a society, club or business as it cut costs for the staff as they do not have to buy everyone a present. But, what do you do if you pick someone out that you really don’t know much about?

The first thing to do is to think about what you do know about them. Do they wear a lot of jewellery? Are they loud and brash or quite quiet and conserved? What is their desk area like? This will give you a good idea of what they are like so take note of whether they have decorated their desk area and what with?

If you still don’t have any ideas then start asking the people they talk to, but be subtle this is a secret Santa after all. But, if all else fails and you justwant to buy them something nice which they are sure to love then a great secret Santa gift is a personalised mug.

 

 

These are great secret Santa gifts because they come in an array of different designs and images and so you can buy them one you feel they would appreciate. If the person you are buying for is known by an aspect of their personality then you could buy them a personalised office mug. Whether they are known as the mother of the office, the drama queen or the geek then there is a mug to suit them.  With a personalised mug everybody will know whose mug it is and have no excuse to use it. 

So, what are you waiting for? Have a look at our range of secret Santa gifts and find the perfect one to treat a certain someone, just don't tell anyone, remember it's a secret.

 


When a baby is born the main highlights of the baby’s life is the firsts; a baby’s first tooth, their first steps and so on. So, when it comes to a baby’s first Christmas it is no wonder that we want it to be as memorable as possible.

A baby may not be able to remember this event but the parents will and a small memento to commemorate his or her first Christmas is a great way to cherish and immortalise this moment forever. One of our favourite gifts to mark this occasion is this gorgeous Button Corner My First Christmas Snow Globe. It is cute and small so doesn’t take up much space and will look great next to the baby’s cot.

 

He or she may not be able to appreciate the Christmas gift but the parents are sure to love it. Due to the size and sentimental value of this it is more likely to be kept safe as the baby grows up which means they will be able to appreciate it when they are older as well.

Button Corner is a great range of baby gifts which has an adorable teddy bear and bunny as its main characters. Other gifts in the collection include; photo frames, money boxes and book ends. So, make his or her first Christmas unforgettable with a sweet snow globe.

 

 


Don't forget the stocking fillers!

 

Now we have hit November more people are thinking about Christmas and what gifts to buy for whom. One type of gift that we associate with Christmas is stocking fillers.

 The idea of stocking fillers dates back to Victorian times when children used to receive lumps of coal, oranges and nuts in one of their socks at Christmas time.Since then the tradition has been modernised and brought to the current times. We now use a larger sock shaped sack to put the presents in and the gifts themselves are more contemporary then fruit and coal. But, what types of presents should be classed as stocking fillers?

Stocking fillers should be inexpensive and small gifts but that does not mean that the quality of the item needs to be reduced. We have so many different gifts in our stocking fillers section that there is sure to be a gift for everyone.

If you want to buy sweet, tasty stocking fillers then a personalised chocolate bar makes a great Christmas gift for any age and each one is under £10 making them inexpensive as well as delicious. 

 Remember, just because stocking fillers are known to be smaller, possibly cheaper gifts compared to those under the tree it does not mean that they shouldn’t be thoughtful. Each Christmas gift should have a use or a purpose for the recipient. This could simply be to make them laugh or to add some colour to a room. But, if you look at at random stocking fillers and buy them simply for the sake of it then the recipient is less likely to enjoy the present.

Make stocking fillers meaningful and they are sure to love and enjoy even the cheaper Christmas gifts.

 


We are less than a month away from December and the 1st December means one thing- the start of our advent calendars. But rather than buying a commercial shop bought advent calendar of a tv show or film buy him or her a special personalised advent calendar that you can add your own treats in.

These personalised advent calendars will allow you to be creative with what you fill each day with and for kids it means you can have a day without chocolate or sweets. Consider the person you are buying the advent calendar for. If it is a young child then you could perhaps put a bracelet in one of the days or a small toy.

 

 

 

To make sure they can’t peek at what is in the next few days pouches you could either staple each one closed or if you are worried about damaging the advent calendar then you add the next treat the night before after they go to bed or in the morning. This will mean each day will be a genuine surprise.

This means that the recipient will not know what to expect each day unlike the traditional advent calendars which simply have chocolate shaped as Christmas items. These gifts allow you to truly let your imagination run wild as well as making this present and each day personal to the recipient.

These personalised advent calendars come in a choice of two colours so you can choose from cream and gold or red and gold.  Not only will these calendars look great on the wall but you can also have the recipient’s name sewn on to it which will make it even more unique and personal.

So make the Christmas countdown even more special and exciting with a personalised advent calendar.
