Gift Guide. 

As the festive season gets going, the guest list can easily grow faster than the available seating. Before you know it, the dining chairs are spoken for and someone is perched on a desk chair, another on a kitchen stool. A bit improvised, a bit charming, but always worth it for good company. 

And while we can’t offer you spare chairs, we can help when it comes to gifting. So, we put this guide together to save you from endless scrolling and second-guessing. Here you will find ideas for different kinds of budgets and gestures. Something special for loved ones, small tokens for friends and colleagues, and a few suggestions for any Universal Works fans who get asked what they would like this year. 

Pull up a chair. Let’s make festive gifting simpler and hopefully a little more enjoyable.

If you need to return your order for a refund, or an exchange, we are happy to help. We are extending our returns policy for the seasonal holidays, and items bought as gifts from the 3rd November 2025 can be returned up until Wednesday 14th January 2026. Our returns period is 30 days from the date you received your order before this period.
