Finding the right Christmas gift ideas shouldn't take all December. If you're after gift ideas at Christmas that go beyond another jumper, our Christmas gifts skip the wrapping paper entirely: think dining, wellness, driving and flying instead, so the person you're buying for gets Christmas presents they'll actually use. Whether you're after Christmas present ideas for her, him, the kids or the whole family, we've sorted our best Christmas gift suggestions by who you're shopping for below. Consider it Christmas ideas, sorted, plus answers to the questions we hear most this time of year. Gift a story you can’t wait to hear.
Once you know who's on your list, Christmas holiday gift ideas get a lot easier to narrow down. Here's where we'd start, sorted by who you're shopping for, with a Christmas gift idea in each category to get you moving.
For the woman who'd rather sip than unwrap, a Sparkling Wine High Tea at The Tea Room QVB pairs a full high tea spread with a glass of something sparkling in one of Sydney's grandest rooms. It's one of our better Christmas gift ideas for her, and it works just as well if you're after gifts for her more broadly this Christmas.
Still narrowing down present ideas for female recipients? The full gifts for women range covers dining, wellness and getaways, plenty of options whether you're after a women's Xmas present or an Xmas gift for a lady who'd rather choose the details herself. When it comes to Christmas gift ideas for a woman, a gift for her doesn't need to mean another photo frame.
Skip another pair of socks. A Learn to Fly Trial Introductory Flight puts him in the pilot's seat over the Macarthur region for a full hour, instructor alongside the whole way. It's a solid answer for Christmas gifts for men, and one of the better guy presents for Christmas going around.
For more Xmas gifts for guys, the full gifts for him range spans driving, flying and dining, so there's always another option if flying isn't his thing.
A shared gift beats two separate ones that end up in different drawers. A Winery Tour and Tasting with 3 Course Lunch and Wine at Sirromet Winery covers a behind the scenes tour, a cellar door tasting and a full three course lunch, all in one afternoon. It suits the couple who'd rather spend the day together than unwrap two separate things.
For the family that's outgrown another board game, a 7 Day Unlimited Multi Park Pass to 4 Theme Parks covers four Gold Coast theme parks over a full week, so nobody has to pick just one on the day. It works for the school holidays as much as Christmas morning.
Mum gets the sit-down version. A Gunners' Barracks Traditional High Tea in Mosman means a full high tea spread with Sydney Harbour as the view, no washing up required. It's one of the easier Christmas gifts for mum to get right, especially if she's usually the one hosting.
Dad gets the loud version. A Rally Driving 8 Laps, 1 Hot Lap Experience puts him behind the wheel of a champion spec rally car for eight laps in the Hunter Valley, then hands him over to a professional driver for a hot lap to see how it's really done. A change from the usual polo shirt.
RedBalloon gift vouchers are valid for 5 years from the date of purchase, so there's no rush to use one over the holidays. Digital vouchers are delivered by email and can be bought right up until Christmas Day, which helps if Christmas presents are still on your to-do list.
A Kangaroo Point Cliffs Twilight Abseil in Brisbane gives them 30 metres of abseiling above the river with the city lights below, ninety minutes and zero boredom. It's a solid pick for teenagers who've already got everything else on the list.
A Pet Photoshoot with Prints turns their pet into the main event for sixty minutes, with three prints included to take home afterwards. It works for cat people, dog people, and anyone whose pet already runs the house.
Yes. Every RedBalloon voucher includes a personal message field at checkout, so a personal touch is standard rather than an upgrade.
Digital vouchers can be bought right up until Christmas Eve and arrive by email straight away, handy for Xmas present suggestions sorted at the last minute. If you're booking an exact date rather than a flexible voucher, popular experiences can book out weeks ahead of the holidays, so earlier is generally better.
A RedBalloon gift card hands the choice over entirely, in any amount, with the full range still on the table. It's still an experience gift, just with someone else doing the deciding.
Yes. Our Christmas deals page rounds up discounts across driving, wellness, dining and more, worth a look if budget is part of the decision this year.
