Christmas is on its way, and we’re sure most of you will be busy creating your perfect Christmas list! From must-read books and homeware to beauty bits and winter accessories, with so much choice available, how do we know what items to pick?

One staple item we know you’ll be in need of this winter is knitwear, so why not be smart and add these fab pieces to your Christmas wishlist?

Festive Christmas cheer

This year, do Christmas right and ask for a colourful Christmas jumper. Not only will you be warm and snug on those wintry walks, but by selecting a bold knit, you’ll also bring cheer and goodwill to everyone around you – isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

Why not coordinate with the whole family and enjoy dressing up together, or hold a Christmas Jumper Day at work and raise money for charity? This cute reindeer option will get you in the Christmas mood in no time:

Cuddly Christmas cardigans

If bright Christmas jumpers aren’t really your thing, cardigans are enjoying a moment this season. A much-loved sister of the knitted jumper, cardigans are versatile and cosy all in one. Layer yours with a polo neck jumper and jeans for a casual weekend look, or dress up a sparkly Christmas dress with a cardigan combo. Why not go for a muted pastel colour like this dreamy sugar plum pick?:

Get your head in the game

Our next knitwear pick is one for everyone – a cosy knitted hat is something anyone would love to find waiting under the tree. With so many colours available, all you have to do is pick your fave style and you’re away! If you’re cheeky and playful, go for a bobble hat – this Christmas-coloured option will ensure your head stays warm and dry until spring:

If you’re more of a sporty snowboarder, a knitted headband will look chic on the slopes:

A handy Christmas gift

Everyone hates cold hands in winter, so some knitted gloves should be top of your list this year for enjoying those essential Christmas activities, including ice skating, mulled wine drinking, and even some potential snowball throwing! Gloves come in all shapes, sizes and colours, so you could even choose a few pairs to make sure you’re covered for every outfit. We love this classy faux pearl-encrusted pair:

Super snuggly scarves

Scarves make fabulous Christmas presents, plus they have the bonus of keeping your neck and ears toasty in the cold and rain. To get more wear out of your scarf, you could select a lighter one that you can use all through the winter into spring. However, nothing quite beats a thick knitted scarf to wind around your neck as you head out into the night for some Christmas carolling!

If you like a striped scarf this will be right up your street:

Fluffy socks and festive tights

Endless rain and cold winds mean that our feet often suffer in the winter. To beat frosty toes, some warm knitted socks should be one of your Christmas wishlist items this year. Make sure your feet look as fashionable as you are and add this fun patterned multipack to your list:

Alternatively, if you’re more of a tights person, you’ll be spoilt for choice this season. With a range of knitted sparkly tights and patterned tights in reds, greens and purples, you’ll be the belle of the ball this Christmas.
