It really is starting to feel like Christmas time; the biting cold, the parties and the overzealous homeowners increasing their carbon footprint tenfold with lights. We might be biased but staying home in the UK for Christmas is definitely our favourite way to spend the holiday season. With 2012 due to be such a big year for London; we have been getting more that a little patriotic for our fair land. Why not share the love with some very British gifts in preparation for 2012? There is something for every budget, simply click on the pictures to buy.

Forget just going animal print for Christmas and go the full hog with a sequin fox jumper! What could be more festive, practical AND patriotic? At only £48 from Urban Outfitters – get cosy in this Christmas jumper.

Chocolate is, without a doubt, our guilty pleasure, and this £15 Charbonnel et Walker box looks utterly delicious! Whether it’s for your stocking or an office gift, we want them all!!

Sticking with the very British theme, we love this Union Jack pillow. It would make a welcome addition to our bed, both comfy and stylish! £50 from John Lewis.

It would be futile to compile a Best of British gift list without including a pair of mighty Dr Martens. Perfect in the snow, these all-weather boots are quintessentially British and look amazing worn with anything. We like the purple version, retailing at £95.

These gold Union Jack wraps from Nail Rock are perfect stocking fillers, at only £6.50 from Topshop. If you want to add a little something special to your nails, and of course show your patriotic side, these are the perfect.

For something a little more subtle, what could be more quaint British countryside than a quilted jacket? We adore this one from Topshop, which has an amazing check lining and knitted sleeves. Even better, it is only £58!

The Cambridge satchel is a quintessentially British bag which not only looks the part, but will stand up to daily wear and tear. The updated Neon versions were seen all over LFW and now limited edition metallic satchels have been made in time for Christmas. From £74.

If you are looking for a gift with the ‘wow’ factor, the Alexander McQueen Britannia red velvet clutch bag is perfect. Either that or you want something special to keep for yourself. Available for £960 from Harvey Nichols.

To add something a little special to the Christmas shopping we suggest accessories. Look like a vintage vixen in this gorgeous gold beaded collar from Miss Selfridge. Wear over crisp white shirts or black lacy tops for a night on the town. Only £16.50.

Have some festive fun in these gloves from the British brand Jack Wills. We love these cute Maythorn Mittens, available for £24.
