Newspaper Club 2023 Holiday Gift Guide

It's that time again! Our annual gift guide is back, showcasing wishlist-worthy products from creative brands that print with us. From artist-designed beach towels to innovative acorn vases, here are 9 gifts we'd love to find under the tree - and if they're in custom newsprint wrapping paper, even better!

Peptide lip treatments from Rhode

Beauty brand Rhode launched tinted lip treatments (with some help from our broadsheets) this year - and they've been a sell-out success since. Get a set of all 4 flavours – vanilla, salted caramel, watermelon and unscented – for someone prepping to pucker up for New Year's Eve.

£58 at Rhode

Knitted ragdoll from Sophie Home

We fell in love with Sophie Home's cosy creatures when we spotted them in the brand's mini newspaper catalogue. Made from 100% cotton, they'd all be a delight to unwrap but we have a soft spot for this dapper crocodile in a cable-knit jumper and scarf.

£34 at Sophie Home

Drill top from AOF x PUMA

Well if it's good enough for Thierry Henry... The football great modelled this top for a photoshoot promoting a collaboration between Art of Football and PUMA (and was reading a digital broadsheet while doing so!) Inspired by a retro design, it's both limited-edition and timeless.

£74 at PUMA

Limited-edition beach towel from Plunge

For the person counting down to summer, a beautiful towel will make days at the beach feel a little bit nearer. Plunge sells limited-edition beach towels designed by rising artists – or, in their words, “artwork you can sunbathe with.” The towels tend to sell out quickly, so snag Australian artist Natalie Bessell's playful goat design – only 56 available! – while you can. (And get a copy of Plunge Rag, printed on our mini zines, with your order.)

£68 at Plunge

Acorn vase from Ilex Studio

This elegant vase from Ilex Studio allows someone to witness how a tiny acorn begins the transformation into a magnificent oak tree. After its outgrown the vase, your recipient can plant the sprout for a gift that keeps on giving for generations!

£28 at Ilex Studio

Leather two-frame case from Oliver Peoples

For the four-eyed friend who can never decide which pair to wear – this clever two-frame case from Oliver Peoples makes it easy to swap between your favourite specs. (Or, for the true eyewear enthusiast, you could splurge on a twenty-four frame trunk for £1,308.)

£121 at Oliver Peoples 

 

The host bundle from Canyon Coffee

Elevate someone's morning routine with a pair of new mugs plus a bag of best-selling Beachwood beans from Canyon Coffee (or just use this gift as an excuse to invite yourself over for a cuppa). As we learned from Canyon's mini zine, these particular beans are sourced from organic farms in Oaxaca. The mugs are finished with a unique matte porcelain traditional to Hasami Town, Japan.

$74 at Canyon Coffee 

A book from Canongate

You can't go wrong with a book from Canongate, the award-winning independent publisher that's been releasing unorthodox and innovative titles since 1973.

Twice a year they print a catalogue on our mini newspapers and it's always exciting to see what new stuff is coming out. But there are also plenty of treasures from their past years of publishing - like the hefty collection of every short story written by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, pictured above.

Various prices at Canongate

Zippered pouch set from BAGGU

From tidying tech accessories to managing make-up, there are endless ways to use these zippered pouches from BAGGU. Available in a variety of stylish designs, including stripes and needlepoint fruit (also featured in the tabloid poster pictured above!)

$36 at BAGGU

Bonus: a Newspaper Club gift card!

Ok, one more idea! Surprise a creative person in your life with the chance to make their own newspaper. Perfect for the photographer, designer, illustrator, small business owner – anyone with something to share.

You can order a gift voucher for any amount. (Check out our price list to see what you can print at different price points.) We’ll also send your recipient our sample pack so they’ll have everything they need to get printing in the new year.
