As a shopping editor, it’s my job to show everyone the best of the best all year round. But around November, my own wish list turns away from what I want, and moves towards what I should get my family, friends and loved ones for Christmas. Because as we all know, it’s creeping up on us.
This year, as it turns out, there’s one store that’s looking particularly useful – enter Marks & Spencer.
The high street hero has caused a stampede with its new festive bakes, and enticed even the most reluctant shopper to consider the latest fashion pieces from its brilliant “The Home of Christmas” advert. And now you’re going to want to see its gifting offerings. Whether it’s stocking fillers for mums (the mini picture frames get my vote), winter woolies for dads or a Percy Pig-filled box of festive treats for kids, there’s something for everyone. Grandparents, Friendsmas and Secret Santas are sorted, too.
Here’s my edit of the 23 supermarket gifts that everyone will want to receive from Marks & Spencer this year. Now all you have to take care of is the wrapping part.
For mum

Tortoiseshell print frames
Set of three, £12.50, M&S
How adorable is this trio of mini photo frames? Printing out memories instead of keeping them in your camera roll will always be special, so pick your favourites and pop them in these expensive-looking frames.
Star sign toiletry bag
If your mum loves anything with a personal touch, these star sign cosmetic bags will go down a treat. In all different colours, the cord pouches are perfect to have on show in the bathroom or as a fun travel bag to take on weekends away.
Supersoft faux fur heat pad
Everyone can appreciate getting cosy at this time of year, right? Instead of a classic hot water bottle, opt for this fluffy collar with a microwavable pouch inside that can be heated up and tied round the neck.
Half moon shoulder bag
For mums who love to look put together, you’ll want to get this faux leather bag that looks way more expensive than it is. The contrast stitching and golden hardware will fool everyone into thinking it’s designer.
Resin cluster charm hoop earrings
M&S has really upped its jewellery game, and considering everyone loves to unwrap new jewels, I highly recommend getting these charm-detail hoops as a stocking filler for well-dressed mums.
For dad

Checked scarf
Winter woolies will always be appreciated, and dads will love this Argyle print scarf that just so happens to tick off a key trend: checks. Because dads can be on trend, too, you know.
Dark cedar shaving gift set
£22.50, M&S
One of those sets made to be on show, this shaving kit with a brush and bowl along with soap and post-shave balm in a woody cedar scent is practical sleek.
No matter the recipient, a cosy jumper will always go down well. And with M&S being known for its good quality styles, this navy V neck knit is a must-buy. It also comes in black, brown and burgundy.
Cool and fresh woodland socks
Five pack, £14, M&S
Stocking filler socks are such an easy win considering not many people tend to buy them for themselves year-round. Instead of Christmassy pairs, I suggest this woodland creature set made from a clever sweat-wicking fabric to keep feet dry.
For kids

Bear print knitted outfit
With a new little addition to the family, this knitted one piece just has to be found under the tree. For newborn up to 12 months, it’s an outfit that everyone will find adorable when it’s opened on Xmas day.
Pure mulberry silk heatless curler
If you’ve got a tween in the family who’s keen to start experimenting with hair styles, this heatless styling kit is the answer. Made from mulberry silk, it won’t be damaging and it’s ideal to make getting ready for school in the new year that little bit quicker.
Pure cotton graphic sweatshirt jogger set
Four pack, £20, M&S
With many more winter days ahead of us, get your mini-me prepared with this cool and cosy set. With joggers, a sweatshirt, hat and socks, it’s made for chilled days at the park over the Xmas break.
Paddington plush soft toy
I used to love getting new cuddly toys for Christmas as a kid, so this is what I’ll be getting the little people in my life. Paddington fans or not, they’ll all appreciate a new bear to unwrap.
The Christmas sweet selection letterbox gift
I just know I’ll get all the auntie points for this one. A box of yummy treats including festive Percy Pigs and Colin sweets along with chocolatey pretzels – you’ll be tempted to keep this selection for yourself.
For grandparents

Crew neck cardigan
The knitwear offerings have been loved at M&S for decades, so of course, grandparents will appreciate a new addition to their collection. I’ll be getting my grandma this pretty pastel blue cardi that already has so many five-star reviews.
Faux mohair checked throw
Getting swaddled up in a new blanket is one of the small joys of winter, and I’ll be giving this feeling to my grandparents with the help of this checked throw that’ll also look good draped over their favourite armchair.
Leather gloves with thermowarmth
In brown, black or burgundy, these real leather gloves will look good on everyone. M&S have gone one step further and added a super cosy thermowarth lining that’ll keep warmth in and the cold out – a steal for £25.
Mandarin, clove and cinnamon boxed candle
Make your grandparent’s house smell warm and welcoming beyond Christmas Day with this beautiful scented candle. And of course I ordered one for myself, too.
The time for tea hamper
Tea time will be even more appreciated with this M&S extra special hamper. The new floral print mug is ready for an English breakfast tea complete with dunkable all butter shortbread biscuits – plus, you can add a personalised message to the box.
For friends

Fleece revere printed pyjama set
I had to do a double take when I saw these supersoft tiger print PJs for just £20. Considering they look like a designer pair, any friend or sibling would be more than happy to unwrap these on the big day.
Bath and body gift set
One word: wow. How incredible is the line up in this beautifully wrapped gift set? Neom bath foam, Nuxe body oil and PawPaw lip balm is among the contents of this beauty gift that’ll ensure everyone looks forward to a luxe pamper.
Velvet geometric patchwork bolster cushion
£29.50, M&S
If you’ve got a friend who has a new home, or they just love to update their space, this velvety soft, expensive-looking cushion is made for them. Well done M&S, you’ve excelled yourself.
Restore mini scenting gift set
I believe that candles and reed diffusers make perfect gifts, so I appreciate this very sleek set. With eucalyptus and amber, your friend will thank you for filling their home with calming scents.
