Christmas Gifts | Handwoven Scarves, Snoods and Accessories | Luxury Gifts Handmade in the UK
Wrap your loved ones in warmth and style this festive season with a handwoven scarf, snood, shawl or accessory that is genuinely one of a kind. Emma's collection ranges from small stocking fillers from £25 to statement designer scarves at £150, with something for everyone on your list. Every piece is woven by Emma on a traditional floor loom in Salisbury, Wiltshire - slowly made by hand, designed with care, and crafted to last for years. Each order arrives beautifully gift-wrapped as standard, so there is nothing else to do but give it.
Why a Handwoven Gift is Different
There is something about receiving a gift that was made by hand that a mass-produced present simply cannot replicate. Here is what makes a handwoven scarf, snood or shawl from Emma Baker a Christmas gift worth giving:
-
No two are ever the same. Every piece is woven individually on a floor loom. The person who receives it owns something that exists nowhere else in the world.
-
It is made slowly, with intention. In an era of fast fashion and next-day delivery, a handwoven piece carries the time and skill invested in it. That is part of what makes it meaningful.
-
It is practical and lasting. A merino wool scarf or snood will be worn and worn again. It is not a novelty - it is something genuinely useful that improves with familiarity.
-
It arrives gift-ready. Every order is beautifully presented in branded packaging - no wrapping paper required.
-
It supports a small independent maker. Emma designs and makes every piece herself in her Wiltshire studio. When you buy from Emma Baker, your money goes directly to the maker.

What is a unique Christmas gift for a woman in the UK?
A handwoven merino wool scarf or snood is one of the most distinctive gifts you can give. Unlike jewellery, perfume or a gift card, a handwoven piece is made slowly by a named maker - it carries real craft and intention. Emma Baker's collection includes a wide range of colourways, from bold and contemporary to subtle and classic, with options from £40.
What are good Christmas gifts for men?
Emma's men's accessories collection includes handwoven ties, bow ties, cufflinks and tartan accessories — all made to the same high standard as her scarves and snoods. A handwoven tartan bow tie and cufflink gift set is a particularly distinctive choice for a man who appreciates quality. Visit the Gifts for Men page for the full range.
What Christmas gifts are available under £25?
Emma's collection includes handwoven bags, cotton snoods and other accessories from £25 - ideal as stocking fillers or smaller gifts. Visit the Gifts Under £25 page for everything available at that price point.
Do the gifts come wrapped?
Yes - every order from Emma Baker Handwoven Textiles is presented in beautiful branded gift packaging as standard. You do not need to add gift wrap or buy a separate gift bag. The packaging is part of the gift.
What is the last date to order for Christmas delivery?
For UK delivery in time for Christmas, Emma recommends ordering by 19th December. Orders to the USA and Canada should be placed earlier - to allow for international shipping times. Full delivery details are on the Shipping and Returns page.
Are the scarves and snoods suitable as ethical or sustainable gifts?
Yes - Emma's handwoven accessories are made from natural fibres (merino wool, lambswool and cotton), produced slowly and individually by a single maker in a UK studio. They are the opposite of fast fashion: designed to last, made with care, and bought directly from the person who made them. For shoppers looking for a thoughtful alternative to mass-produced gifts, a handwoven piece ticks every box.
