Creating your Christmas wishlist comes with a couple of questions. What’s the budget? Practical or fun? And most importantly, where will I find what I want? Everyone has the same worries each year, and the options are quickly becoming more and more widespread.
To help out, we’ve compiled our top choices for Christmas gifts in 2024. As editors and writers for Better Homes and Gardens, we’ve got a firm grasp on what we want and the best place to get it.
While Jenny, the gardening editor, speaks of getting the same gift from her son every year (of course, it’s a Bunnings gift voucher!), the rest of us are hoping for one of these wrapped up under our tree…
The BHG editor’s ultimate Christmas wish list
01

$104 (usually $130), Sheet Society
Rachel, digital content producer, is hoping for a fresh start:

02
Sophie Conran covered butter dish
$30 (usually $74.99), David Jones
Tahni, digital editor, wants something practical yet pretty:
“While pure butter always tastes best, I’ve often purchased the spreadable stuff out of convenience. If I had a gorgeous butter dish, like this fine porcelain one by Sophie Conran, I’d never buy spreadable butter again. It’s dishwasher safe, freezer safe, microwave safe and oven safe. It also looks stunning and keeps butter fresh.”

03
Miller Harris ‘Rose Silence’ perfume
from $288, Libertine Parfumerie
Megan, editor, is in need of a refill:
“I have a really sensitive sense of smell, so I can be super picky when it comes to perfume. But the smell of sweet garden roses is one of my absolute favourites. I’m not lying when I tell you I’ve sampled hundreds of perfumes to find this absolute gem. It’s so special, and I’m running empty on my previous bottle!”
Sizes: 100ml, 14ml
Fragrance notes:
- TOP: mandarin, blackcurrant
- HEART: turkish rose absolute
- BASE: patchouli, cashmere musk
04
Outdoor hanging bird bath
$41.51 (usually $83.02), Etsy
Jade, senior content producer, is hoping to fill her garden with bird noises:
“Every morning, there’s a cute Kookaburra that sits in the tree directly behind our home. I want to encourage it to come a little closer and with the hot weather coming up – a bird bath would be the perfect opportunity. They can cool themselves down and enjoy the water while I have my morning coffee.”
05
Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 icecream maker
$297 (usually $499.99), Amazon
Sarah, food editor, wants a sweet treat:
“I am obsessed with homemade frozen treats during summer, so this would be my ultimate Summer holiday sidekick. Being able to whip up homemade frozen treats in an instant with barely any prep – what a dream! I think a watermelon, rosewater and lime sorbet would be first on my menu. Yum!”

06
Colourful by Iris Apfel
from $45.32, Amazon
Jo, sub-editor, wants to be inspired:
“When I grow up I want to be Iris Apfel. She was creative, hilarious and so bloody sensible. I was so sad when this late-age fashion icon died at age 102. Has she given Heaven a colourful but classy makeover yet? Probably.”
07
10m compact portable hose reel
$67.91 (usually $79.90), Hoselink
Tiff, DIY editor, is as practical as ever:
“I absolutely love a well-designed and thought out home or garden staple. This tiny hose would be perfect for the hanging baskets and pots on my front porch, and it matches my colour scheme too!”
