A cosy comfy Christmas or glam luxe? Whatever your mood for the festive season, Ealing Broadway’s shops are full of this year’s most-wanted fashion.

For gorgeously soft knit accessories, party-season dresses and stylish loungewear head to Marks & Spencer and H&M. And, of course, Barbiecore is going nowhere with her signature pink splashed across accessories at Accessorize, Primark and River Island.

Topping Santa’s biggest style requests in 2023 are cross-body bags, oversize metallic totes and handbags with chains; chunky boots from Clarks; Adidas Gazelles and Sambas, Uggs and Crocs from Foot Locker and JD Sports and, for warm cover-ups, think puffy down jackets at River Island and ‘dad’ coats at H&M.

Snuggle up together in matching pyjamas and robes, soft socks and Oodies from Primark. For him, it’s all about athleisure, Zodiac chains, silk ties and blazers (discover ideas at Marks & Spencer, Decathlon and H&M).

Independent finds from local stores

Give them something truly original thanks to Ealing Broadway’s array of independent stores. Gift them time and space with vouchers to The Massage Company for relaxing treatments or bring beauty to their workspace with gorgeous plants and pots from Greenka while Jasmin Bloom is home to beautiful flowers and displays that will make the Christmas table look amazing.

Belgian chocolatier Leonidas has fine chocolates which source ingredients from across Europe to create bespoke boxes that are totally original. They’ve also got cute kids’ characters, marzipan and fruit pastes.

Who can resist a carefully wrapped box under the tree? Selena Gomezesque gold hoops, gold chains mixed with black jewels and pearls are the perfect way to make Christmas morning special. Head to Accessorize, Marks & Spencer and Pandora.

Indulge them with fabulous sustainable vegan bath bombs and self-care essentials.

Baylis & Harding’s Beauticology Mermaid Collection at Boots is also full of fun for kids while Superdrug has e.l.f cosmetics, Disney 100 and Maybelline with gifts starting from under £5 (perfect for Secret Santa).
