Yahoo Movies The best home Christmas gifts of 2022, selected by The Telegraph's interior decoration expert
We’ve all spent time agonising over housewarming gifts for friends and relatives. It can be hard to match the recipient’s tastes to your own idea of what makes a good new home gift. Most of us could do with help when it comes to choosing the best home Christmas gifts, too.
Whether it’s kitchen ornaments, scented candles or gifts for the garden, this is the one Christmas present that, if you get it right, will keep on giving after the fairy lights come down – even if it's just the perfect house mug. And who better to ask for advice than the Telegraph’s interiors editor Jessica Doyle? Here are Jessica’s top ideas for 2022, carefully chosen to be on trend and affordable. (Nearly all of them, anyway. There's nothing wrong with being over-generous.)
