Christmas shopping needn’t be difficult. It’s simply about finding the right gift guide; a clever edit of the very best (and most imaginative) presents on the market right now. In need of one of those?

For the one who likes photography

The Google Pixel 4 is a smartphone. But it is also a camera – with some very special features. It lets you take a photo in the dark without the flash, for instance. It lets you snap away at those starry nights and actually get to see the stars in the photos. It lets you adjust exposure so you can capture colours exactly how you want them to be.

For the one who has enough socks

Can’t think what to get your uncle? Or your aunt? Ditch the usual socks this year and go for something interiors-related, like a cushion.

Marks & Spencer have a fabulous selection, including Christmas-themed numbers (like the "JOY" design), an LED light-up option, and those depicting nature. Whatever style of interiors your cushion needs to match, Marks & Spencer homeware will deliver.

For the one who loves to workout

If it were worn to the gym at least once a week, imagine how much use a lululemon sports bra would get over its lifetime. Whether it's the Energy Bra with added Lycra® fibre that offers great "shape retention", or the Enlite Bra Zip Front that does up super-easily, a bra from this trusted sportswear brand is guaranteed to win gifters some serious brownie points.

For the one who loves surprises

From city trips to Vienna, Prague or Amsterdam, to snowy holidays in Norway or Iceland, or far-flung beach holidays in Sri Lanka and Mexico, you can whisk your significant other away to all these stunning destinations and many more – at wallet-pleasing prices – through booking.com

For the one who doesn’t want anything

Chances are that a couple of people on your list will tell you they don’t want anything. Spoil them anyway, if not with a tangible gift, then with an experience the two of you can share.

Why not book a special dinner out for two, or a cruise down the Thames, or sign you and your dearest up to a flower arranging workshop? With Groupon, the choices are plentiful.
