It’s the season when corny movies about love and Christmas get released, where families start planning their Christmas lunch menus and for many it’s also the time to start thinking about what gifts to get their loved ones.

As the year winds down, it can be tricky trying to think of the perfect present to give an older relative who is always on the look out for appliances that will make their lives easier or what to get your Gen Z relatives who are navigating a completely different world from your own.

To make it easier for you, we’ve come up with a few ideas that can cater to everyone in the family and will get you extra brownie points from both the young and old.
