Last-Minute Ideas for Christmas Shoppers in Canterbury & Sandwich

Last-Minute Ideas for Christmas Shoppers in Canterbury & Sandwich

his two-minute read might just be your get-out-of-jail-free card if you’ve left it late to buy Christmas gifts.

A conversation among our team recently made us realise that with just a week to go before Christmas Day, most of us still had people to buy gifts for.

So, if you’re in the same situation and need some late/last-minute present inspiration, check out these 15 ideas.


For Her

To pamper – a spa day at a local beauty salon.
To relax – a luxuriously scented candle (look at Jo Malone if you want to push the boat out).
To savour – a chocolate box subscription (Hotel Chocolat is worth a look for the chocolate connoisseur).
To de-stress – a shiatsu neck and shoulder massaging machine.
To experiment – The Great British Bake Off latest recipe book or maybe Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook.

For Him

The tech lover – a 3-in-1 Apple device charging station.
The early riser – a sunrise wake-up light alarm clock.
The fitness fan – an electric mini-massage tool.
The thrill-seeker – an experience day – hundreds of options out there, including driving around a racetrack, sailing, or parachuting.
The fan – a personalised video message from a sportsperson or celebrity.


For the Home

As estate agents, no last-minute list from us would be complete without five gifts you can buy for people to use in their homes.

A marble desk organiser.
A customised house portrait.
Personalised coasters.
Frame a favourite photo.
Hardback coffee table books – National Geographic’s Destinations of a Lifetime or perhaps one featuring Canterbury or Sandwich

And remember, when we shop locally in Canterbury & Sandwich, we make a big difference to our community.

Where will you be doing your last-minute gift buying?

With ongoing reforms and rising compliance demands across the UK, managing a rental property alone is becoming increasingly complex. Here’s why professional management now matters more than ever.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.

If you’re planning to sell in early 2026, now is the time to understand the timeline, the preparation and the steps that will help you move smoothly from listing to completion.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.
