Last-Minute Christmas Shopping Ideas

Last-Minute Christmas Shopping Ideas

This 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 over 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 Chester, Mold, Hawarden or Wepre Park..
And remember, when we shop locally in Flintshire, we make a big difference to our community.
Where will you be doing your last-minute gift buying?
Thanks for reading and happy shopping.

Welcoming a new tenant can be exciting for landlords, but it also requires careful preparation to ensure a smooth transition. A well-prepared property makes a great first impression and can set the tone for a successful tenancy.

New data shows the mortgage market has bounced back from the turbulence of two years ago. Think back to this time in 2022, and you’ll recall the mortgage market was in complete disarray. In the aftermath of the Mini-Budget, there was a frenzy of activity – none of it good for homebuyers or people looking to renew their mortgage.

In this six-minute video, Ben talks about the property market in Flintshire, which has shown significant growth recently, with increased demand from buyers and sellers in recent months. There’s been an evident rise in new listings this month compared to last, highlighting both market confidence and growing interest in the market.

The weather is dreary. Christmas is on the way. So, right now is an absolutely terrible time to jump into the housing market. Isn’t it?
