Lisa's Top Picks and Tips for a Truly Joyful Christmas
By Sophie Carter - 10th November 2025
The cold weather is upon us, the days are getting darker, and the shops are brimming with festive treats. This must mean Christmas is just around the corner.
If you're beginning to consider ticking off that Christmas gift list, you'll want to feel as prepared as possible for your Christmas shopping trip. We're on hand to ensure you're armed with the tips, tricks, and special picks from the team at Lisa Angel and Lisa herself, to make this Christmas one to remember. In the current climate, it can feel overwhelming when you consider Christmas shopping, both on the high street and online. As a proud independent brand, we like to fly the flag for other great small, local, and independent businesses, especially when the festive season approaches. Gifting friends and loved ones a unique piece from a small or independent store can be just the ticket to ensure they're receiving something truly joyful, while also supporting the brilliant British high street, too!
Christmas Shopping Q&A with Lisa
We sat down with the queen of Christmas herself - Lisa - to discuss all things festive gifting. Christmas is a time when independent businesses can come into their own, and many love to create a fun, festive buzz on the high street, providing a vibrant atmosphere to help you enjoy your shopping trip. Armed with tips and tricks to help you enjoy the festive lead-up, Lisa also wants to help you nail your Christmas gifts and give your loved ones pieces packed with love, thought, and sentiment.
Q. Hi Lisa! What’s your favourite part of the festive season?
A. Hello! For me, it's that magical moment when the tree lights go on, the house smells of cinnamon, and everyone just slows down, allowing friends, family, and loved ones to really enjoy quality time and being together.
Q. What are your tips for stress-free gifting?
Q. What’s your favourite Christmas tradition?
A. I adore cosying up with a delicious hot chocolate while wearing fluffy socks, and an evening of wrapping presents with my family (and maybe a Christmas film in the background!).
Q. What pieces from Lisa Angel are you loving this year?
A. I've picked out some of my favourites here, but I'm especially loving our Christmas hampers this year! They make gifting simple, and are the ideal way to send someone a gift filled with things that are perfectly them.
For something super unique to them, a personalised jewellery piece like our Personalised Sterling Silver Russian Ring Necklace is the ideal way to ensure they receive something they can treasure for time.
- Build Your Own Christmas Gift Hamper
- Narwhal Spirit Animal Velvet Round Travel Jewellery Case
- Bow Embroidered Velvet Jewellery Roll
- Semi-Precious Beaded Bee Charm Bracelet
Q. What's your number one Lisa Angel gift this year?
A. Our personalised jewellery boxes! They’re beautiful, practical, and feel so special when you see your loved one’s name engraved on top. This Personalised Name Mini Glass Jewellery Box in Gold is a really pretty piece, perfect for adorning a dressing table.
Q. What's your must-have Christmas decoration?
A. I will always choose one of the handmade baubles from our workshop. Every year I like to add a new one to the tree, as I feel like it's a great way to watch our brand story grow.
This year's Pink Norwich Sketch Hand Painted Bauble combines fun colours with our much-adored Norwich landmarks to create a truly unique decoration that shares the love for our fine city.
Q. How do you bring joy to your home at Christmas?
A. Little details are key to creating a cosy wintry atmosphere, and fairy lights, candles, and any small but sweet personalised pieces make the home magical. I'm all about bringing nostalgic charm back to the home this year, and warm, twinkling accessories make every corner feel cosy and full of love.
Q. What does 'making Christmas joyfully yours' mean to you?
A. For me, it's all about thoughtful touches. Wrapping gifts with care, writing a heartfelt note, and finding something that truly means ‘I thought of you’.
Q. Finally, if you could send one message to Lisa Angel customers this Christmas, what would it be?
A. Make it yours. Fill it with love, laughter, and thoughtfulness, because the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart.
I'd also love to say a massive thank you for supporting our small, independent business. This year has been really exciting for us as a company, and we are forever grateful for your support.
