Why a scarf makes the best gift under £30
With a tight budget, most gifts end up feeling small: a candle, a mug, another pair of novelty socks. A good scarf is different. It's something people wear every day, it suits almost any age, and it fits in a card-sized parcel. It's also one of the few presents you can buy for your mum, your partner, your colleague and your gran in one go, in different colours.
For her
1. The classic: a 2m cashmere-feel scarf in 62 colours
Long enough to wrap twice, soft enough for everyday wear, and with 62 colours there is one to go with any coat. Our lowest-priced long scarf and an easy pick if you're buying several.
Cashmere-Feel Winter Scarf – 2m Long, 62 Colours · £24.99
Two metres long and very soft. The easiest gift on this list.
See colours and details →2. For the woman who loves a print: a double-sided pashmina
A different look on each side and big enough to wear as a wrap over a dress at Christmas dinner. It's a soft cashmere-feel fabric rather than real wool, so it's light and easy to wash.
Floral Double-Sided Pashmina Scarf · £29.99
Two looks in one scarf. Wear it as a scarf or a wrap.
See colours and details →3. Something she can wear all year: a large silk-feel square
Not everyone wants another winter scarf. A 110cm square can be tied at the neck, worn over the shoulders or knotted on a handbag, in December and in June.

A large printed square with a smooth, silky feel.

4. A plain scarf he'll actually wear
Most men want something simple: a solid colour that goes with a work coat. Navy, grey and charcoal are the safe choices.
Men's Cashmere-Feel Scarf · £29.99
Soft, smart and understated. Goes with a wool coat or a parka.
See colours and details →5. The British classic: a wool flat cap
A good one for dads and grandads who already own every scarf going. Pair it with a scarf and the bundle discount kicks in.
Warm Wool British Flat Cap · £25.99
A timeless flat cap for cold walks and country weekends.
See colours and details →6. For the office: a tie and cufflink set
Tie, pocket square, cufflinks and clip together. It's already a set, so it looks like a complete gift.

Tie, pocket square, cufflinks and tie clip in one set.
See colours and details →For Mum and Gran
7. Soft and light: a pashmina with tassels
Generous in size, gentle on the skin and easy to throw over the shoulders indoors. Older mums and grandmas often prefer this to a thick knit.
Cashmere-Feel Pashmina Scarf with Tassels · £29.99
A soft, light pashmina with tasselled ends. Scarf or shawl.
See colours and details →8. Real wool under £30: a knitted triangle neck scarf
A small, neat scarf that sits snugly at the neck without bulk under a coat. A good pick if she finds long scarves fiddly.

Real wool, knitted, and quick to put on.
