The final stretch of Christmas shopping can feel overwhelming, especially when there are still a few important names left on your list. I genuinely believe, though, that it doesn’t have to feel rushed or stressful. At Banks Lyon, even at this late stage, it’s absolutely still possible to find something thoughtful, luxurious, and beautifully presented.
From guaranteed delivery and extended opening hours to digital gift cards and ready-to-gift pieces, everything we offer at this time of year is designed to make the process feel calm, simple, and enjoyable. I’ve also included a few of my own last-minute gift recommendations below, in case you need a little inspiration.
Guaranteed Delivery: Delivered Right on Time
For me, one of the biggest sources of Christmas shopping stress is worrying whether gifts will arrive on time. That’s why our delivery process is built around reassurance and reliability, even in the final days before Christmas.
Every piece is carefully prepared by one of our in-store specialists and packaged either in Banks Lyon presentation boxes or the manufacturer’s original packaging. Complimentary luxury gift wrapping is always available, and all parcels are sent in discreet, unbranded outer packaging - so no surprises are spoiled.
We offer complimentary next working day delivery on all eligible orders, sent via Royal Mail Registered & Insured Next Working Day Delivery. Once your order is placed, you’ll receive tracking details so you can follow its journey right up to delivery.
If you’re short on time or prefer to collect in person, our click and collect service is also available.
I’d always recommend reviewing our delivery and returns terms, and of course, our team is on hand if you need any clarification at all.
Gift Cards: An Always Appreciated Gift
If you’re buying for someone who prefers to pick out their own jewellery and watches, a digital gift card is a solution for when time is short but sentiment still matters.
Our e-gift cards are available in £150, £250, £350, £400 and £1000, and are valid for 5 years from the date of your purchase. After purchasing from our online store, your e-gift card will be delivered via email within one working day, meaning it’s available to purchase up until the last minute.
For an elevated touch, print the gift card and tuck it into a handwritten note or pair it with a small keepsake.
Receiving a Banks Lyon gift card means your recipient has something to look forward to beyond the festive season, starting the new year with a new luxury piece.
Extended Opening Hours
If you prefer to shop in person, our extended festive opening hours are designed to give you flexibility, whether you’re visiting after work or popping in closer to Christmas Day.
