The Utterly and Random and Spectacular Christmas List 2026

We’re back with another edition of our utterly random and spectacular Christmas list! This is a bumper collection of wonderful things handpicked by the whole Fabled Thread team, from unique Christmas gift ideas to little treasures and other things that have caught our eye lately.

Whether you’re searching for the perfect gift for someone special, a little festive inspiration or something to add to your own Christmas wish list, we hope you’ll find something delightful here. And if you’d like even more gift inspiration, you can read our Christmas gift list from last year here.

As usual, we've packed in a lot of gift ideas, so without further ado…

1. Katy Mai: Landscape Brooch. Katy Mai makes beautiful contemporary ceramics and jewellery inspired by the coastal landscape around the Llŷn peninsula, North Wales. I came across her work at The Craft Festival Wales in Cardigan, which was honestly one of the best craft fairs I have been to and would highly recommend.

2. Bose: SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker. I love nothing better than settling down with my latest stitching project, a nice cup of tea and listening to an audio book. And what better way to listen than through this Bose portable speaker which comes in 7 colours, but of course anyone that knows me, knows that I’m going to choose the blue one!

3. Joy Thorpe: Candelstick Holders. These fabulous candlestick holders are available from Joy Thorpe from £26. Christmas is my absolute favourite time of year and you can never have too much in the way of red and white stripes!

4. Toast: Cut Out Geo Print Flannel Pyjamas. One of our favourite Christmas traditions is new pyjamas, left by Santa on Christmas Eve. These gorgeous Geo Print Flannel pyjamas from Toast are definitely on my list - I just need to continue to be good for the rest of the year!

5. Nom Living: Butter Dish. I have been looking for a butter dish for ages and came across this one in Nom Living on Columbia Road. If you are in London over Christmas, I highly recommend popping along to the Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday morning. It is full of wonderful independent shops and beautiful flowers - get there early as it gets really busy!

6. Lauden Chocolate: For an absolute treat, why not indulge in a box of beautiful Lauren Chocolates. Each one is an absolute joy and to be savoured, the perfect after dinner treat!
