It’s just turned December and – unless you’re far more organised than everyone else on the arts desk – you’ve not even thought about Christmas shopping yet. But, before you go traipsing off to every corner of the internet/high street in search of unique gifts, why not relax with a glass of sherry and simply treat the cultural connoisseur in your life to something from our bumper festive gift guide.

Featuring everything from a beautiful Japanese anti-smartphone poster to a Traitors hooded top, there’s no price range we haven’t covered (fine bone china Pet Shop Boys tea set, anyone?), no area of the arts left untouched (a Brutalism-inspired sweatshirt?) and absolutely no chance that anyone else has recommended you buy a lace hi-vis vest. We’ve even found the Mona Lisa at a decent price (OK, it’s made of Lego, but still).
