The word ‘antiques’ has long been associated with high price tags that only the most affluent could afford, with many people believing that antique gift giving was impossible for them. Today, however, with the average person spending almost £400 on presents, there are antique Christmas gifts available to suit every budget and here, we look at the most common prices points for Christmas gifts.

A popular gift idea is 20th century ceramics which will appeal equally to your newlywed neighbours decorating their first home as well as your grandparents who enjoy reminiscing about their younger years.
