The merry marathon of festive chaos is here, and I’m spinning plates and juggling gift lists left, right, and centre! I’ve got everyone from babies to boomers to buy for—including the dog and guinea pigs (but I draw the line at the goldfish!). My Christmas lists are half-baked, my shopping bags are still empty, and don’t even get me started on Elf on the Shelf (nope, no room for extra performers in this circus!). It’s a holiday high-wire act, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re still rounding up last-minute gifts, step right up—the ideas below should help with those impossible-to-buy-for folks in your life! ~ Sarah, Acme's Digital Marketer
Acme The Ringmaster's Christmas Gift Guide
For the Coffee Nerds
First up in the grand gift-giving circus are the coffee geeks—those who see coffee as a ritual, a science, and maybe even a sport! There’s at least a few of these in every family.
The Acme Classic Range is perfect for their lineup of lattes, flat whites, and everything in between. We'd recommend starting their collection off with two mini's, two mediums and two large cups. And with a stack of iconic Acme colours to choose from, they’ll be brewing in style every day —no juggling required!
For the Taste Makers
Next up are the tastemakers—the annoyingly brilliant people who’ve always got the inside scoop and a knack for knowing what's trending.
A pair of Tajimi Cups is bound to impress! Designed with the legendary Maruasa Porcelain factory in Tajimi, Japan, these cups boast a polished matte exterior, a glazed interior, and a comfortable fit in hand. Made from durable porcelain for exceptional heat retention, they’ll make a splash at any gathering, holding everything from iced summer spritzes to cozy winter drinks. Packaged individually, they're perfect for gifting.
And if your design-forward friends already have enough cups (hard to imagine!), you could take it up a notch with our sleek 24-Piece Cutlery Set. Minimalist, modern, and with a nod to mid-century cool, this flatware sets a new standard—and some serious design chops—for any table.
For the Go-Getters
If a full 24-piece set feels like a bit much, our Long Spoons are just the thing for those family members who squeeze every drop out of life (and every jar). Give them a tool they never knew they needed—a Long Spoon that makes sure no peanut butter or jam jar goes unemptied. Because every go-getter deserves to enjoy their favorite things down to the very last scoop!
For the Foodies
There’s always at least one culinary conjurer in the family—you know the one. They make magic in the kitchen without breaking a sweat, while your carefully molded waldorf salad quietly surrenders in the background. The Roman Range Plates and Bowls are crafted just for them because the Acme team know that the true headliner of any meal is the food. Designed to let culinary creations take center stage, these plates and bowls are the natural encore to the beloved Roman cups and saucers, and are the perfect performers at any table
For the Fashionistas
The Limited Edition Acme X Karen Walker Bobby Mugs are the perfect gift for those with an eye for fashion. This seasons colour combo is straight from the Karen Walker playbook and these mugs are rare gems So, don’t wait—these beauties sell out, and once they’re gone, they’re gone!
For the everyday heroes
Our Acme swag makes the perfect gift for those special people who make a difference in your life. The Tote Bag is crafted from ethical canvas with sturdy handles (yes, we’re pretty good at handles), designed and printed in New Zealand. Ready for any adventure and made to carry everything—from groceries and gifts to gadgets and gym gear. They're the top of my Santa’s list.
Or, if puzzles are more their thing, our 1000-piece Acme Jigsaw Puzzle will have everyone gathered around the table for weeks. We love bringing people together, so make sure to keep the Christmas cake and coffee flowing!
On a budget? Grab a Tea Towel. Acme fans can’t get enough of them, and they’re perfect for handling kitchen chaos and post-feast messes in style! Plus, let’s face it, everyone looks good on the end of a tea towel.
Hope the Christmas gift guide helps make this season one of thoughtful presents, plenty of laughs, and unforgettable memories!
