Christmas in New York

Christmas shopping in New YorkYou may not get the same bargains for your buck on a trip to the States as you once would, but there's nothing like New York at Christmas. Get your fix of festive shopping on Fifth Avenue and admire the opulent windows displays put on by the likes of SAK's and Barney's. Pay a visit to The Rockefeller Center's iconic ice rink, admire Central Park under a blanket of frost or stroll the streets soaking up the unique atmosphere of the Big Apple.

Quirky treatsOur prize fulfilment team is always on the lookout for something a little bit different and Christmas is no exception. For the more adventurous why not give a gift that gets people involved? From experiences such as tickets to The Kew Gardens Light show or The Gingerline's Grand Expedition, to more hands on experiences such as the Crystal Maze Live Experience or a gin making workshop.
Or, if you're looking for something a bit quirky, how about Grow your own Christmas Tree, or a Beard Grooming Kit (obviously for a select audience), or the slightly zany Mustard Boom-box speaker? For a grown-up gift, alcohol is always a winner. Why not try something different and give the Unicorn Tears Gin? It has a magical, glittery finish to fit the Christmas season. For an early treat, how about a Prosecco advent calendar?

There are over 100 rides and attractions to enjoy including roller coasters, ice skating and live music. Some of the top attractions this year are Cinderella on Ice, Bar Ice and the Circus Megadrome.

The National History Museum and Somerset House are two of the capital's most beautiful rink locations but there's plenty around the UK to choose from. Afterwards be sure to warm up with a marshmallow-topped hot chocolate for a sweet end to your day out.

Gifts and gadgetsTechnology has been topping the Christmas gift guides for years and 2019 is no different. It'll come as no surprise that Amazon's offerings are on most people's wish lists, especially as they prepare to release new versions of the Echo and Show just in time for the festive season. Other popular gifts include the Nintendo Switch Lite (available in a wide range of eye-catching colours), beauty advent calendars, the Christmas collection from Pandora and of course the new board game must-have for families, Game for Fame!

Christmas in Vilnius, Lithuania
|
Visit Vilnius Christmas marketIf you're looking to squeeze in a weekend away before the year is out, a visit to a European Christmas market is the ideal solution. You can even justify it with the excuse that you'll be picking up presents while you're away. Lithuania's capital could be the perfect Christmas market destination. There's enough to see to keep you occupied for a short break and lots of cosy cafés to warm up in. The architecture is even more beautiful at this time of year when there's likely to be a layer of snow on the rooftops. The market surrounds the city's Christmas tree which is always a striking focal point. The stalls are really authentic, with the added bonus of being very cheap - as is the city itself.
