Finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a tricky task, especially when it’s for someone you love, and you want to give them something truly meaningful. It’s never a good feeling for either the giver or the recipient if the gift doesn’t quite hit the mark. A great approach is to focus on getting something thoughtful – something that shows you've put real consideration into it. This thoughtfulness can make the gift more special and meaningful to your loved one.
Christmas wishes: wants vs needs
Another important consideration when choosing a Christmas gift is weighing up wants versus needs.
Gifts and presents they want
The most obvious gifts to get your loved ones are those they’ve specifically asked for or that you’ve overheard them mention. These could be more special items, like a coveted piece of jewellery, that they’ve had their eye on for a while. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that another family member might already have picked up on these hints and gotten them the gift.
Gifts and presents they need
On the other hand, gifts that fill a need – even if they weren’t explicitly wished for – can be just as thoughtful.
If you are all out of ideas, why not consider a pillow. With an adjustable pillow, that can be fitted to the recipient’s sleeping position and individual preferences, you can’t get it wrong. Our Category Manager, Berit Christiansen, recommends STROKKEN as her favourite adjustable pillow.

If you know there’s something they could really use, it can make for a practical and appreciated present. This could be everyday essentials like underwear, socks, towels, or a cosy bathrobe. It could also be something a little more indulgent, like home decor items, cushions, throws, or accessories for the kitchen or bathroom.
Christmas gift ideas for everyone
Some gifts are more suited to your mum than your dad, and it’s unlikely that a girlfriend would wish for the same thing a husband might. Below, you’ll find a selection of Christmas gift ideas to spark inspiration.
Keep in mind, these are only suggestions – the perfect gift for one person could fall flat for another, regardless of who they are, including their gender, age, or preferences. Be sure to think carefully about what your loved one would appreciate, and find a great idea based on their personality and interests.
Christmas gifts for women
For those who long for luxury and softness, a warm throw, quality towels or a soft bathrobe can be the perfect choice. Beautiful decorative cushions or candles also create a cozy atmosphere and are always a welcome gift. If the recipient is into well-being, consider a stylish bathroom set or quality bed linen that will pave the way for a good night's sleep.
Choose a gift that reflects their taste and lifestyle – a thoughtful gift always feels special.
Christmas gift ideas for men
Some of the best gifts are often practical and high-quality products that make everyday life easier or add a touch of luxury. Consider their hobbies, lifestyle and what they might need.
If the recipient values comfort, a warm throw, cozy slippers or quality towels could be the perfect choice. If he values functionality, consider stylish storage solutions or multi-purpose kitchen accessories. Home décor items like stylish cushions or handy baskets could also be a good option.
Remember that the best gift is always thoughtfully chosen – something that suits their style and needs.
Christmas gifts for mum
Beautiful home décor items, such as stylish throws, cushions, candles, or beautiful tableware, will add warmth and style to her home. A personally chosen home décor item can be especially meaningful. You could also consider a framed family photo that brings back fond memories and moments together.
Practical gifts, such as quality kitchenware or stylish towels, combine functionality and beauty. Self-care products, such as a spa gift card or relaxing wellness accessories will make your mother feel important and special.
Christmas gifts for dad
Encouraging relaxation is also a good idea, so consider a gift that allows him some alone time, like a spa gift card or a cozy throw to snuggle up in. If dad is a foodie, beautiful tableware or quality kitchenware can be great choices.
Choose from JYSK's selection of soft slippers, a thick bath towel, a windproof bathrobe or an armchair.
Christmas gifts for girlfriend or wife
Gifts related to relaxation are good choices, such as a luxurious bathrobe, a soft throw or beautiful bath products that create moments of selfcare. Beautiful interior items, such as stylish candles or decorative objects, can also bring joy to her home.
A thoughtfully chosen gift that reflects your partners personality and preferences will make Christmas special and unforgettable.
Christmas gifts for boyfriend or husband
Choose soft slippers and a thick, windproof bathrobe, or a stylish grey armchair.
Gift ideas like concert or sporting event tickets can create unforgettable memories. A weekend getaway can also be a great way to spend time together and enjoy each other's company.
Gaming gear for the young man
