45 Under-£100 Christmas Gifts That Look Really Thoughtful
The word "affordable" means different things to different people. This is something we're acutely aware of right now, especially when, in the run-up to Christmas, shopping is not only unavoidable but is also actively encouraged. Of course, advising you on what to buy is what we do best, and while we're certain you want to mark the occasion by treating your nearest and dearest to something special, the last thing we want you to do is to blow your budget in the process. As such, we've rounded up an edit of affordable Christmas gifts that start at a frugal £11, peaking at the £100 mark.
As we said, the word "affordable" is entirely relative, but we hope that our edit below will, if nothing else, inspire your Christmas gift ideas. That is why we've included everything from classic knitwear they'll treasure for years and jewellery that is guaranteed to pull on heartstrings to icons in the world of interiors and presents that will spark their creativity. Scroll below for our chic, affordable Christmas gifts suggestions.

I love gifting (and receiving!) a leather-bound notebook. This red mock-croc version will look chic on their desk.
Cocktail lovers will never not enjoy receiving Lockdown Liquor's delicious pre-mixed tipples. Plus, you can personalise the labels to make your gift extra special.
This affordable French perfume smells so good and lasts so long on the skin that, for me, it rivals the most expensive fragrance brands like Byredo and Le Labo. This is my favourite scent which is fresh, clean and just a little masculine.
Lucy Williams lives in these and so do I. If they've asked for hoop earrings, tell them these come editor- and influencer-approved!

A silk pillowcase has been proven to keep skin and hair moisture levels high, and reduce hair breakage and frizz—meaning every day can be a good hair day. Priceless. (Price shown is members price)
A personalised necklace always feel special. Daisy is one of my favourite brands for everyday jewellery, and they've got a great Black Friday sale on right now.
