As a House & Garden staffer since 2010, Ruth Sleightholme knows a thing or two about buying homewares and gifts. This Christmas, we tasked her with finding the most exciting things to shop, from festive decorations to cosy cushions. Whether you're looking for beautiful objects for yourself or gorgeous items to gift, a scroll through Ruth Sleightholme's gallery will offer inspiration in abundance.
You can't go wrong with a festive card
Complete their gallery wall with these charming plates…
Or this pretty pink one
For a design buff
Add some dynamic texture to their existing cushion set…
Or a surprising shape
Make their desk somewhere they actually want to work at
A lovely throw will see them through the colder months
A pleasingly organic table that will work in every house
Elevate their morning cup of tea
And their Christmas tree
Give the gift of a games night
A Bloomsbury-inspired lamp is a timeless present
As is this timeless beauty
Lovely art will always be appreciated, no matter the budget
And finally, a gift for the host who has everything
