Some people are super organised and have their Christmas gifts chosen and wrapped before December has even begun. Others leave it to the last minute and pick up whatever they can get their hands on.
If you still have gifts to get, here are some gift ideas to suit almost anyone.

For him
A nice bottle of wine
For many people, a bottle of wine is a simple and safe gift you can give to almost anyone. Here are a few that will elevate the gift a little and make you look like a wine connoisseur.
Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay
One of the best Chardonnay’s made in the South West. It’s a beautiful wine that absolutely any wine lover will enjoy being gifted. Only question has to be, do you also get one for yourself?
Price: $159.00
Available from: Leeuwin Estate
Cherubino Uovo Nebbiolo Cabernet
If you’ve lived in Perth for a while, chances are you’ve visited Cherubino Wines on a trip down south. They’re one of the best wineries in the region and produce many good drops. This one is a little different, though, which makes it such a great gift. Nebbiolo is a popular Italian red wine and this is Cherubino’s version of it.
Price: $75.00
Available from: Cherubino
Swinney Farvie Syrah
This is the wine you buy for the wine drinker that’s a little hard to please. It’s made from the same grape as a shiraz but is silkier and smoother. Oh, and it’s one of the best reds to come out of WA, ever.
Price: $150.00
Available from: Swinney and some specialist wine shops
Grayln Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
This one’s a personal favourite (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). It’s from a small southwest winery that few people have heard and the wine is only available directly from them which means when you gift it, it shows you’ve put in a lot of thought and effort!
Price: $140.00
Available from: Grayln Estate
The best tech gifts
We use so much technology on a daily basis that a tech-based gift can put a big smile on someone’s face. Here are a few ideas.
Remarkable Paper Pro
This one is for the purist. It combines a paper-like feel with the best of the digital world, making it the ultimate tablet. We haven’t yet met anyone who hasn’t absolutely loved it.
Price: $929.00
Available from: Remarkable and places like JB Hi-Fi
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones
Everyone needs a really good pair of noise-cancelling headphones and these are one of the best and comfiest of the lot.
Price: $495.00
Available from: The Good Guys
Bellroy Tech Kit
This is a low-priced, extremely functional and handy gift that most of us don’t know we need until we have one. This will keep all your tech accessories in one handy little case so they’re organised and easy to find when you need them.
Price: $89.00
Available from: Bellroy
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses
Sunnies that take photos and video, have audio for phone calls and listening to your latest playlist, and they have voice-activated AI. The future is already here!
Price: $489.00
Available from: Sunglass Hut
For the home
While we normally focus on gifting for others, Christmas is also a good excuse to splurge a little on yourself and get a few new things for the home.
Audio-Technica Turntable
Old school records and turntables made a comeback a few years ago and their popularity hasn’t waned since. We like this Audio-Technica Turntable from JB Hi-Fi which makes a great gift for yourself or someone else.
Price: $699.00
Available from: JB Hi-Fi
Plumm Glassware
You didn’t think we’d talk about wine without suggesting some fancy wine glasses and decanters, did you? We love the big bulbous Plumm wine glasses with a matching decanter. They’re available from Plumm, Myer, David Jones, Kitchen Warehouse, and most other places that stock fancy wine glasses.
KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer
We’ve all upped our cooking game with so many of us having evolved into awesome at-home chefs. So why not up your kitchen equipment game to go along with it?
High up on our wishlist is this KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer which makes everything from cookies to pizza dough. Plus, there are add-ons which will make pasta, ice cream, and much more.
Price: $1,019.00
Available from: KitchenAid and most other places that sell kitchen appliances.
Sony Bravia TV
With how fast technology advances, we all need a fancy new TV. For us, something like this Sony 75″ BRAVIA would go down a treat.
Price: $2,295.00
Available from: The Good Guys
Gifts for her
We recently put out a gift guide with suggestions on what to get her for Christmas; however, here are a few more quick and simple gift ideas.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
You can never go wrong getting a diamond necklace or earrings for her this Christmas. There are many places to go to choose something but our go-to is Diamond Collective who have so many beautiful options, you’ll want to buy them all. Our pick is this Diamond Bar Necklace.
A nice bottle of perfume
Perfume is a gift that you can give to any woman in your life. Everyone has their preferred scents so choose one that you love the smell of. If you’re stuck and want a suggestion, Giorgio Armani My Way is one of our favourites.
A La Sol Tan Membership
Give the gift of the perfect tan, every time, with a membership to La Sol Tan. This Perth business has made getting a tan so quick and simple, and with locations in Applecross, Cottesloe, Scarborough, and Joondalup, there’s sure to be one that’s convenient for her.
A new bag
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like buying your partner that new bag she’s been eyeing off all year and didn’t think you knew about. Find out what she’s loving and click add to cart. If you want to pick something out yourself that you’re sure she’ll love, head to Cult Status in Perth or Claremont.
Almost anything from Mecca
Skincare and makeup are always gifts that are well-received so if you’re looking for a safe gift to buy for a friend, colleague, or secret Santa, you quite literally can’t go wrong! Mecca is a great option to get something from and have a heap of gift sets ready to pick up and go.
Evening wear from Perlu
If you’re still looking for something for your partner, consider picking out a beautiful new dress from Perlu. They’re locally owned and have a massive range to suite just about any occasion so you’re sure to find exactly what you want.
Jewellery from Mountain and Moon
You can also never go wrong with jewellery whether it be the diamond necklace from Diamond Collective as mentioned above or some funky earrings from somewhere like Mountain and Moon.
Gifts for him
Honestly, guys are probably the hardest of all to buy for so here are a few easy and safe options that are sure to go down a treat. For more ideas, see this guide on gifts for him.
A luxury watch
Looking for something for your partner and wanting to splurge a little? A luxury watch will go down a treat. There are a heap of places to go to pick one — our pick, Barbagallo Watch in the CBD.
Cufflinks
Cufflinks are a little more niche as not all men wear shirts with French cuffs, but for those who do, you can never have enough pairs of cufflinks. They’re fairly inexpensive and come in a range of styles from classic and classy to full of personality.
A watch box
Continuing the above theme, a fancy box to put his watches, cufflinks, or ties in is the simple but elevated gift that he didn’t know he needed.
Formula Ford Race Experience
Most men grow up either wanting to be, or thinking they already are, a racecar driver. Why not give them the opportunity to make that a reality with a Formula Ford Race Experience at Wanneroo Raceway? It’s a gift he’ll never, ever forget.
New golf clubs
Golf. A game that takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. And for those who play, there’s always a new, better set of golf clubs that will up their game. If you’re going to play for a lifetime, you may as well have a nice set of clubs. Head to GolfBox and chat with the team about what he’ll like.
An overnight bag
A really nice overnight bag is an underrated addition to a man’s bag collection which makes it a perfect gift. This is something that’s worth spending a little more on. Our pick? This dark tan leather bag from RM Williams.
