The most wonderful time of the year

IT'S time to dust off the Christmas tree, buy a sweet-smelling fresh one and fill your home and mind with the festive spirit. We plunge straight into the festive mood in Friday's issue of BT Weekend magazine as we unwrap Christmas in all its gift-giving glory.

The theme is a personal Christmas, and we feature gift ideas from bespoke to beautiful, whimsical to luxury. Whether your gift list includes a gourmet, art or design lover, we've got you covered. We also check in with several tastemakers who share their thoughts on the best presents to give and receive.

And what is Christmas without Santa Claus?
