Ahhh, the Christmas Jumper - love them or hate them, they’ve become an essential Christmas gimmick that makes an appearance year in year out and probably will forever more. From broadcasting the most ridiculous Christmas puns in a bold typeface, to taking Christmas characters and blowing them up into hilarious cartoons, the Christmas jumper craze has become a way of channelling the silliest of designs that we wouldn’t get away with any other time of the year.

Choosing a Christmas jumper doesn’t have to be hard. Just think - would you or the person you’re buying for want to be seen walking down the street in a sparkly, sequinned ensemble, or would you or the recipient rather incorporate the jumper into everyday attire so it can be worn throughout winter, not just the run-up to and the days after Christmas Day?
