The very last-minute London Christmas gift guide

We’re down to the wire, it’s less than 48 hours to the Big Day. Perhaps you were feeling smug about your aptitude for acing Christmas this year, but have realised you’ve fallen at the last hurdle and forgotten that one person on your present list. Or maybe between the partying and focusing on securing the turkey and the tree, you actually failed to get any presents at all...
Well fear not, from the gifts you can still get delivered tomorrow (be quick!), to the fail-safe presents to buy on foot (be sure to check store opening hours which tend to run to 5:30pm latest on Christmas Eve), and the ones you can literally buy on the day and deliver stealthily to their inbox — here’s the best things to buy for every type of Londoner. Most of which are available in a plethora of colours, so be sure to stalk your giftees Instagram to check their go-to shade and you’ll be sorted. Go, go, go.
If you’re shopping for a beauty junkie last minute, then forget make-up gifts unless they’ve expressly asked for one: the shades, formulas and scents are a mine-field when you don’t have time to consider taste and complexion. Instead it’s all about hair gifts. This brush is a treat for all types and textures of mane.
