This is all of course done on a budget as I try not to overspend on myself at this time of year (unless it's on a beauty gift set I can't resist!) so for me, there's no better place to shop than on eBay.
Below are a few Buy It Now listings that have caught my eye recently, all UK based and with free delivery. I hope you find a few festive treats here too!

Christmas Fair Isle Knitted Over Knee Socks (£5.99)
It's certainly the season for cosy socks but instead of going for standard bed socks this year I came across this ultra-warm looking over-knee socks. With fair isle print to them mixed with reindeers these are perfect for keeping warm at Christmas and look pretty adorable.
This Is My Hallmark Movie Watching Sweatshirt (£7.59)
If you are a fan of Christmas movies then you have most likely watched your fair share of Hallmark Christmas movies! They are as cheesy as it comes but never fail to put me in a festive mood so when I spotted this raglan-style slogan top I had to include it. The listing also includes matching sweaters and t-shirts in various colours.
Set of 3 Pearl Hair Grips (£1.47)
For the past year, I've been a bit obsessed with picking up cheap decorative hair clips from eBay as not only do they look good but they are amazing quality for the low price. So, of course, I had to pick up some for the festive season (above left image) with these stunning pearl and gold hair clips. I can vouch that the quality is great and they look super pretty in the hair. Perfect to add a little extra to the hair for Christmas parties and gatherings.
China Glaze On The Nice List Gift Set (£6.95)
If there isn't time for glitter at Christmas then I don't know when there is! While I like to go all out with glittery foiled eyeshadow and even shimmering lip toppers I know for most glitter extends to the nails and that's it. So I've been restraint and found the perfect glitter nail polish trio with this limited edition China Glaze set. This year China Glaze is celebrating 50 years of Seasame Street and while the nail polish tops have had a Seasame Street makeover, all three nail polishes are festive-themed with - (from L to R) On the Nice List, A Grouchy New Year and T is for Tinsel. These are three amazing super festive shades for under £7 - such a bargain!
Gold Snowflake Candle Carousel (£3.94)
Buying a few new festive scented candles every November has become a bit of a tradition for me but if you aren't into scented candles or have enough already then picking up a candle carousel is a nice alternative. Not only does a candle carousel require just a single tealight but with the heat of the flame the carousel will rotate on its own - hence why it's called a candle carousel! This specific candle carousel comes in nine different designs however this snowflake design is my favourite especially as the shape will be projected onto the wall behind it and will look so pretty and festive. For the low price tag these look really delicate and luxury when placed with other Christmas decorations.
Traditional Hanging Christmas Countdown (£2.45)
Whether you have children or not, hanging up a countdown to Christmas calendar can add a bit of extra excitement. There's something about having to change the numbers each day that adds to the build-up of Christmas day and is an extra decoration to hang. I really like this specific countdown sign as not only is it made from wood but the countdown numbers are simply moved up and down to change them.
LED Hanging Wood Christmas Ornaments (£2.76)
Another inexpensive Christmas decoration idea here for both hanging on the Christmas tree or without the string as ornaments. While I don't own these specific decorations I do have a similar laser-cut wooden Christmas house display that while it is made from thin wood has stood the test of time for around 4 years now and looks lovely. I'm very tempted to pick up a few of these and display them on a shelf with miniature Christmas trees to create a light-up Christmas scene.
Christmas Embossed Cookie Rolling Pin (£6.19)
If you love a spot of Christmas baking then you may want to check out this range of amazing embossed rolling pins. There are quite a few different designs to the listing that would be perfect for embossing onto cookies and even pie tops. I even have a feeling this kind of rolling pin could be used over oven-baked clay to create your own Christmas tree decorations! My mind has been blown with these!
Christmas at The Bakery Cushion Cover (£2.99)
If you wanted to Christmasify any room adding festive cushions will do it. I update the cushions on my sofa each Christmas with cushion covers I bought on eBay a few years ago now and they make all the difference. This year I've come across the sweetest festive designs that are just so cosy looking - I love them! More illustrated Christmas cushion covers here.
New York Christmas - Hardback (£11.86) Let it Snow Cookbook (£5.74)
Each Christmas I add to my Christmas cookbook collection. Last years addition was the above New York Christmas book; a collection of true festive stories, stunning photography and seasonal recipes and it such a Christmassy feeling coffee table style book that's also functional as a cookbook. I picked it up for over £20 so this eBay listing is a bargain! This year I have my eye on Let it Snow Cookbook as it contains 24 sweet treat recipes as a countdown to Christmas style cookbook. Again with stunning photography and recipes such as Spiced Cookie Wheels and Chocolate & Pecan Snowballs.
5-Year Christmas Planner (£10.95)
Lastly, I wanted to share this amazing 5-year Christmas planner that is perfect if you like to stay organised and on track. With four different sections there's rooms to note down card lists, present ideas and Christmas menus, along with a calendar and much more. I truly love the idea of having all my lists in one place instead of on the notes app on my phone, so I may just have to treat myself to planner!
Let me know you favourite Christmas pick here. My Ultimate eBay Christmas guide will be coming very soon!
Fee xo.
