There is something inherently romantic about Christmas. Maybe it’s the cold weather that makes us want to snuggle up with our significant other opening Christmas presents in front of a roaring log fire; although the log fire is now more likely to be of the gas variety. Perhaps it’s the way Christmas is just more magical than any other time of year, filled with fairy lights twinkling and candles flickering (just remember that you should never leave a naked flame unattended). Maybe it’s the way we all make bit more effort with our appearance at this time of year as even the most sartorially reserved women sport dresses with enough sequins to allow them to pass themselves off as magicians’ assistants. Or maybe it’s just the abundance of free flowing festive alcohol that puts us in the mood for some kissing under the mistletoe.

What type of romantic Christmas presents you want to buy will depend on what stage your relationship is at. Are you trying to woo a certain special someone with your Christmas presents, who thus far has failed to even acknowledge your existence? Christmas presents are the ideal way to try and catch their attention. If the object of your affection shares the same workplace as you, why not volunteer to organise the Christmas presents for this year’s secret Santa? Imagine your prospective lover’s surprise when they receive a beautifully wrapped, carefully chosen token of your affection instead of the usual selection box or supermarket bought bubble bath. This is your chance to dazzle them with your romantic soul and breathtaking originality in Christmas presents. A Grow ItChilli Plants Gift Box would be an effective way to say ‘I think you’re hot stuff!’ Or maybe you are planning a Christmas proposal? If so, then you could try hiding the ring in a Christmas cracker, to be pulled at a romantic dinner for two after you have opened your Christmas presents. But make sure it doesn’t get mixed up with the ones you’ll be using for Christmas lunch with your extended family, or great aunty Mildred may end up with your sparkler instead of the more traditional plastic moustache or novelty key ring.

If this is the first Christmas you will be spending with your partner a little effort with your Christmas presents will make sure that it is memorable. By now you will know all of your partner’s likes and dislikes and will be able to choose Christmas presents that will make them glad that you are their very own sexy Santa. If it’s just the two of you on Christmas morning, set the scene with some romantic music on the stereo and champagne and smoked salmon breakfast. A selection of Christmas presents of different sizes is the way to go, from the fun and quirky to something that’s more of an investment, such as jewellery. Really personal Christmas presents are sure to make your partner’s heart melt. For example if you still have the ticket from your first cinema date you could present it to them in a beautiful frame. A word of warning though, if you will be spending Christmas day with the in-laws make sure that you give each other your Christmas presents in private no-one wants to open a box containing sexy lingerie in front of their mum and dad!

Christmas is also the perfect time to inject a bit of romance into a long term relationship. Show your other half that they are still the love of your life even after all these years by really thinking about what kind of Christmas presents they would enjoy. If they are the kind of chocoholic that would give Willy Wonka a run for his money, go for an indulgent selection they can really get their teeth into. Wine buffs would be sure to appreciate Christmas presents relating to their love of the grape such as really special set of glasses, a fancy corkscrew or even a visit to a vineyard.

Christmas can be a hectic time for families with gifts to wrap and nativity plays, trips to Santa’s grotto and parties to o rganise. If your partner is feeling the strain, a good way to show that you appreciate them and everything they do is to give really pampering Christmas presents. A photographic makeover with haircut or colour would show your partner that you think they are still supermodel material, even after all these years.

Though we might all look forward to Christmas, very few of us can probably say that it is a stress-free time of the year. In principal, the idea of your entire family in the same room for a whole day, swapping unwanted Christmas presents, drinking lots of alcohol and eating all the food you spent hours preparing sounds fine; but it’s a good job there’s a week to recover in time for New Year as December can be exhausting.

Why not take a few precautions this year and treat that special someone (even if that’s you) to some Christmas presents that will help to muffle those jingle bells long enough for a bit of quiet pampering?

Whether it’s a wonderful thirty minutes of pampering for yourself, or a whole day dedicated to three different kinds of treatments, these unique and wonderful Christmas presents are a sure way to put a smile on someone’s face. From manicures, to pedicures, massages or even a little dip in a whirlpool spa; these Christmas presents can only promise a day of ultimate relaxation.

With all of those Christmas parties to attend, you’ll want to look your best, so why not treat yourself and a friend to a makeover? You could even have the perfect finished results captured on camera with a ‘Hair and Beauty Makeover and photo-shoot’ - ideal Christmas presents either for yourself or any teenagers in the family.

Fashion Photoshoot Christmas presents can be a wonderful way of reminding that special someone just how gorgeous you think they are. These are Christmas presents worthy of the supermodels with a professional consultation beforehand and the chance to select and even re-touch the finished pictures afterwards. Perhaps you know someone who needs a bit of seasonal cheer, and would love the opportunity for a completely new look for the New Year? With a ‘Star Style Transformation’, they could have just that as these Christmas presents offer a day’s pampering from a whole team of professional stylists.

If these Christmas presents sound exclusively for women, then think again. Gift Packs can make excellent Christmas presents for the man in your life too. He may well need a massage after a busy year of pampering you; and if a professional massage doesn’t sound rewarding enough, then how about a ‘City Slicker Photographic Makeover’ for that city gent in your life? You get the chance to relax and unwind too as you wait in the luxurious bar with a complimentary drink as the professionals set about turning your man into the ultimate pin-up - two Christmas presents in one!

If you or that special someone has a taste for the more unusual things in life, then why not try out some of the more unusual pampering treats this year? As far as Christmas presents go, they don’t get much more unique than a ‘Balinese Indulgence Experience’ – ancient treatments that combine the scents of aromatherapy to recharge the mind, body and soul. If all that indulgence at the Christmas dinner table tends to bring out pangs of guilt, then you can start to feel better with a ‘Rasul Experience for two’. This decadent mud cleanse may have you looking like a chocolate log for a little while, but it is renowned for its deep-clean, relaxing qualities.

Christmas is a time to embrace family life and spend some quality time with the people you love the most. For any new mums, a ‘Mother and Baby Photoshoot and Pamper Day’ is a wonderful bonding opportunity. These Christmas presents are an original twist on any pampering day as mum receives some care and attention from the beauty experts, before being photographed with baby for some pictures you can look back on forever.

If the idea of a family Christmas doesn’t sound too appealing this year, then why not make a run for it and escape to a hotel with someone special? If the West End show and a hotel stay in London don’t sound quite far away enough, then you could always treat yourselves to a trip to Paris. As Christmas presents go, they don’t get much more romantic than this, and you can be certain that you’ll be getting a kiss under the mistletoe when you deliver it.

Everyone has different ways of relaxing and if you happen to know anyone who would prefer the rush of adrenaline over the quiet and calm, then there are a number of Christmas presents you could treat them to as well. From bungee jumping to rally driving, ice climbing to power-boating; the list of possible death-defying activities seems endless. Still, these Christmas presents may well seem tame in comparison to the usual Christmas family get-together but they make for truly original and exciting Christmas presents that will never be forgotten.
