A quick card game that children and grown-ups both enjoy.

Good
    Worth knowing

      Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if the player is under seven, or you want a game for more than five players.

          For a practical type who is into coffee.

          Good
            Worth knowing

              Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if you don't know how they make their coffee at home: a brewer they won't use takes up cupboard space.

              For a practical type who is into fragrance.

              Good
                Worth knowing

                  Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if you don't know the scent they wear: fragrance is personal, so pick one they already like or ask first.

                    Worth knowing

                      Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if you don't know which phone or devices they use: check it works with theirs before you buy.

                      Good
                        Worth knowing

                          Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they're not out walking or camping often: outdoor kit is best for someone who goes out in all weathers.

                            Worth knowing

                              Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they're sensitive to scents: check before you give candles or bath products.

                              For a joker who is into games.

                              Good
                                Worth knowing

                                  Who shouldn't buy it: Don't buy it if they rarely have a group to play with: check how many players it needs.

                                  ⓘ Some links are affiliate links: a purchase may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes our recommendations. Prices shown may have changed since they were checked.

                                  Before you buy
                                  Keep it small and neutral: a colleague gift shouldn't feel personal or put them under pressure to give back.
                                  How we choose

                                  We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't. Commissions never change a pick or its place on the list. Read our full methodology →
