The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide

In search of the most magical gift ideas? You’ve come to the right place. Ensure best gift-giver status with our edit of the ultimate gift ideas for everyone on your nice (and naughty) list. From our iconic tableware collections to unique pieces for those who like to make a statement, discover a little bit of Spode for everyone.

Give them a gift they will truly love (and not return). For a Christmas gift for her and him, whether it be your partner, sibling, or friend, explore their wild side with our maximalist collections, Creatures of Curiosity and Zoological Gardens. Both featuring a blend of archive designs with a modern twist that are sure to send their heart fluttering.

With a choice of white and dark floral, snake, or leopard print, gift her a Creatures of Curiosity Teacup & Saucer, allowing her a much-deserved moment of bliss every day. Pair with the matching teapot and cream jug for the ultimate set-up. And for him, the Zoological Gardens Turquoise Teacup & Saucer or Mug is the perfect choice for those whose days don’t begin until their first sip of coffee.

Shopping for a tea or coffee lover whose style is more classic than maximalist? Opt for the Blue Italian Travel Mug or set of 4 Black Italian Espresso Cups and bring timeless style to their afternoon pick-me-ups, or for a fun and festive twist gift the Christmas Tree Mug set.

With joyous celebrations on the horizon, we have lots of treats for friends who love to gather loved ones around the dinner table. Find a cake stand and matching cake plates to elevate their afternoon tea game, including this mix and match 3-Tier Cake Stand from Morris & Co., or spoil them with new glassware. Our Christmas Tree Champagne Flutes are perfect for toasting the year gone by and for bringing in the new one, too.

And with statement serveware perfect for get-togethers, such as the Creatures of Curiosity Round Tray, we’d expect nothing less than matching accessories. Choose from tea towels and a double oven glove and make all their Christmas dreams come true.

Whether a gift for your home or theirs, it’s important to first decipher the style of interior your gift needs to fit with. To help, we’ve chosen our favourite gifts for the different interior styles that are trending now.

Maximalism: Add a touch of colour to any occasion with the Zoological Gardens collection. Choose from a 12-piece dinner set, mix and match mugs in pink, green, and monochrome, or a stylish tea for one, and instantly elevate their space.

New traditionalist: Give the ultimate gift with Blue Italian. Whether you’re adding to their existing collection with egg cups, a mug, or coffee cup, or starting a new love with a statement piece, as an icon of British pottery, any homeware enthusiast will be thrilled to pull some blue and white china from their stocking.

Transitional: For those who love heritage design with a modern twist, a little something from Spode’s Morris & Co. collection will put you at the top of their gift list for years to come. Make your weekly catch-ups a stylish affair with these Seaweed & Pimpernel set of 2 mugs featuring iconic William Morris prints. Gift boxed in a matching print, all you’ll need is a sparkly bow to finish it off.  

Whether it’s a stocking filler, a secret Santa gift they’ll never guess, or a dream gift they’ve coveted for months, we’ve got a Christmas gift to suit every budget.

We all know a stationery-obsessed friend. Treat them to a Creatures of Curiosity notebook where they can note down dreams, gather memories, and everything in between. Pair with the matching laptop sleeve and travel mug and help them to create the dreamiest work-from-anywhere set-up.

For the home, shop placemats and coasters to match their favourite tableware collection. The Morris & Co. set of 6 coasters features six different designs from the illustrious Morris & Co. archive, including Willow Bough, Pimpernel, and Seaweed. Both stylish and functional, what more could they want?

Add a touch of festive whimsy to their Christmas with a special treat from the iconic Christmas Tree collection. This Christmas Tree Nutcracker Salt & Pepper Set will become a festive family favourite to adorn the dinner table every year, as will the Peppermint mugs that are perfect for marshmallow-topped hot chocolates all season long.

For a gift they can use all year round, spoil them with a feather-filled Creatures of Curiosity floral cushion featuring a Spode design inspired by the archive. Whether placed upon a bed. sofa, or chair, instantly brighten their space.

Spoil them with something they wouldn’t think to buy themselves. Our adored Blue Italian Teapot looks just as good on show as it does pouring tea, with its curved spout, elegant-shaped handle, and intriguing pattern. And for the wannabe florists, the matching Hexagonal Vase will set hearts pounding. A mantelpiece staple.

Surprise your favourite couple with the Morris & Co. Tea for Two Set, featuring a teapot and two mugs. Encourage them to enjoy relaxing weekend mornings and tick two off your list in one.
