As the festive season continues to creep up on us, many of us (at least the organised among us) are beginning to curate our Christmas shopping list. While the convenience of jumping online or heading out to your favourite stores to shop for loved ones might seem like the more logical (and considerably easier) solution; sometimes, there's nothing better than receiving the gift of a sweet, surprising edible treat to kick off Christmas morning. Which, is why we're sharing 21 of our favourite Christmas baking gifts that are just as good – if not better – than a regular present.

In the instance baking isn't up your alley, you can find an extensive list for gifts for all at our Christmas Gifts For All guide, for a myriad of listings of just about everything one could give.

If you're after something more targeted, you can check out our guides for Christmas gifts for dads, or for mums, or for your sister. If you're in need of inspiration for a significant other, you could try our gift guides for her, for him, for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Perhaps you're looking to splurge, in which case, take a look at our luxury Christmas gift guide, or maybe you're on the other end of the spectrum, and need to find some steals for under $100, in which case, we have you covered. There isn't anything we haven't thought of this Christmas at RUSSH.
