Why a Gifting Calendar Is a Game-Changer for Busy Shoppers

If your life is full of frantic mental notes and scribbled post-it to-do lists, remembering every birthday or celebration can be a challenge. That's where a gifting calendar comes in. It helps you stay organised throughout the year, plan ahead, and avoid that dreaded last-minute panic buy (and the hefty next day delivery costs).

Our online shop is packed with unique gifts that UK shoppers love - from fun novelty gifts for teenagers to gourmet food gifts, all delivered straight to your door. With our gifting calendar, you'll never be caught off-guard again.

Our Month-by-Month Guide to Stress-Free Gifting

Let's break it down month-by-month. Here are some key dates to keep in mind, plus some of our gift ideas for the most common gifting occasions. We'd suggest taking a copy of this gifting calendar in a Word doc and personalising it with all of the upcoming dates in your diary - from anniversaries and birthdays to the end of the school year.

January: Get Well Soon Gifts

Let's face it, most of us get struck down at this time of year, whether it's with the common cold or the January blues. Why not kick off the new year by sending comfort someone's way with a thoughtful gift?

February: Valentine’s Day Gifts

Happily, Valentine's Day falls on the same day every year: 14th February, helping keep things simple! Why not celebrate the day by gifting your partner our cheeky The Boss & The Real Boss Mug Duo - a great funny gift for couples who love a bit of banter.

March: Mother’s Day Gifts (UK)

While the specific day jumps around each year, Mother's Day usually falls in March or early April. This year you won't need to frantically check the calendar come mid-March to check if you've missed it: write down next year's date now & you'll be all set in advance. In our view, small luxuries go a long way come Mother's Day, and our Costa Coffee Latte Glass & Frother Set remains one of our top Mother's Day gifts for this reason. It's a great way to brighten up your mum's mornings: the perfect gift for coffee lovers.

April: Birthday Gifts

Have a friend's big birthday coming up? Make a note of any upcoming birthdays in your gifting calendar. Whether it's for him, her, the whole family, or a special couple, we've got you covered with our range of popular birthday gifts - from BBQ gifts and hot chilli sauce, to whisky gifts for those who love a dram.

May: Engagement Gifts

Celebrating someone saying "yes"? Whether you're looking for a funny couple's gift, or a luxury foodie gift for people who love to cook, we've got a range of thoughtful engagement gifts. Add a note to say congratulations & you’re all set.

June: Father’s Day Gifts (UK)

Like Mother's Day, Father's Day doesn't sit on the same day each year but handily it always falls in June - make a note of the date now to save yourself any last-minute stress. For the dad who loves hosting a summer BBQ, our steak and BBQ gifts are always a hit. Our BBQ rubs and sauces are a great way to make his day extra tasty.

July: Thank You Gifts for Teachers

If you've got little ones in school, the end of term always comes with a side of pressure to find the perfect thank you gift for the teachers who really go above and beyond and make a difference. Small, thoughtful gifts go a long way here: perhaps one of our tea and coffee gifts, like a handy travel cup, would make a thoughtful thank you teacher gift - practical, personal & great for keeping up those flagging energy levels on long days!

August: Wedding Gifts

It's officially wedding season! Are you celebrating someone's big day this summer? If the couple hasn't got a gift registry, it can sometimes be a puzzle trying to figure out what they'd like. Finding something personal is key. Are they adventurous home cooks? Perhaps they share a love of whisky? Or do they have a wicked sense of humour?

September: Off to Uni Gifts

Is your teenager heading off to uni this year? Give them a taste of home with a handy cookery gift, teaching them how to cook tasty meals for their flatmates. Or would a novelty Pot Noodle spinning fork set be more appropriate for their culinary repertoire and give them the laugh they need when essay deadlines are looming?

October: Just Because Gifts

There doesn’t need to be a reason. From thoughtful gifts for foodies to treats from their favourite brand, a "just because" gift can help you show up when it matters most, especially for those out-of-the-blue "thinking of you" moments - a great way to cheer up those chilly autumn nights as the evenings get shorter.

November: New Home Gifts

Know someone getting the keys to their new place? Our luxury food gifts are the perfect way to congratulate them on their new home. Arrive with one of these, plus a bottle of wine, and you’re officially their favourite house guest.

December: Christmas Gifts

It’s the busiest - sorry, the happiest - season of all... and we’ve got your back. We've got it all, from Christmas presents for men and novelty Secret Santa gifts to thoughtful Christmas gifts for women, stocking filler gifts and everything in between. With lots of gifts under £20 and all ready to dispatch with fast UK delivery, our Christmas gifts are a win-win for your gift recipient - and your growing festive to-do list!
