46 Crowd-Pleasing Christmas Gifts I'd Recommend Getting in the Sales Today

I don't know about you, but I can get a bit overwhelmed by IRL sales. Usually, at the first hint of one, I run in the opposite direction to avoid the flurry of shoppers and the threat of a regrettable panic buys. When it comes to online sales, though, it's a different experience. Not only is it much less stressful, but it also gives you more time to consider your purchases and think through what is actually worth (or needs) buying.

That's how I've been trying to approach this year's Cyber Monday sales, anyway. And after browsing for some of the key items on my own wish list these past few days, I've also been using the markdowns wisely to get ahead on my Christmas present buying.

I'm normally somewhat of a last minute shopper, so being so prepared feels a little alien to me. But this year, when we're all feeling the pinch, it suddenly clicked that it would be worth starting my search early to take advantage of the discounts. Especially on items I knew I was going to be buying in less than a month's time anyway.

With so many amazing Cyber Monday deals kicking off across the high street, luxury, beauty and, homeware there's a lot to get through to find the perfect gifts. So, to help out, I've started curating a list below of some of the very best Christmas gift ideas I've come across while browsing the sales so far, and I'll continue to update it as we get closer to Black Friday weekend, and Christmas itself. In my opinion, the best presents to receive are things you would never buy for yourself, so you can expect plenty of delightful (and some indulgent) buys that I truly think anyone would love to find under the tree next month.  

Consider this your one-stop shop for the best gifts in town. Whatever your budget, whoever it is that you're buying for, keep scrolling to see some of the best Christmas gifts to buys in this year's Cyber Monday sales...

THE BEST GIFTS TO BUY ON SALE:

Dyson hardly ever has discounts. But you can get £100(!) off these beauty editor-approved straighteners in John Lewis's early Black Friday sales now. 

Anyone who loves hosting will love these pretty glasses (and for half price!) 

A diary is always a classy gift, and Aspinal are offering free personalisation on top of 20% off right now. 

I only wear Desmond & Dempsey pyjamas these days. They're so comfy! 

One of these will work as a trinket plate, or get the set for dining. 

Save on Apple products in John Lewis's early sales. 

These pouches come in so handy. They can be used as an evening clutch or a make-up bag, I use them to hold valuables and slip them inside my larger tote bags. Plus, you can get it personalised for that extra special touch. 

Beauty editors rave about Maison Margiela perfumes. This one is unisex. 

Perfect for lifelong Pro-Collagen fans (or soon to be converts). I swear by this cleanser for glowy skin. 

If they've asked for a classic tote bag, perhaps for work, this is the style I always recommend. 

If they haven't got one, they probably want one. 

I love how expensive and luxurious fossil watches look, fro a much more reasonable price. 

The luggage of choice for team Who What Wear. 

Dyson hardly EVER do discounts, so it's amazing to see this award-winning tool on sale. 

Try not to keep this for yourself. 

Candle sets are always on my Christmas list. 

The Outnet is a brilliant place to shop for gifts if your recipient loves designer buys. 

Hailey Bieber's favourite stocking filler. 

Etsy has great prints (and great Black Friday sales right now!) 

I love this unusual colour, it feels very luxurious. 

This is widely known as the best face cream out there, and it has been for years and years. 

If they're into their skincare, they'll love this set from cult brand Augustinus Bader.
