Short answer: to give a light the recipient can use straight away, choose a cordless or table model: a rechargeable table lamp, a cordless bedside lamp, a ceramic lamp. The models below range from £52 to £169 and work without drilling or connecting to fixed wiring.

Why avoid installation

Giving a wall light or a pendant assumes the recipient knows how to fit it, or knows an electrician. With a cordless light, the gift works the same day. It is also the only possible choice for a renter who is not allowed to drill.

The cordless models in the catalogue

The cordless rechargeable metal table lamp has touch control and a dimmer: you adjust the brightness with a fingertip. The two cordless bedside lamps, in travertine and linen or veined marble and linen, are rechargeable. The cordless rechargeable wall light works without wiring to the mains; see the product page for fitting. Charging details are given on the product pages.

Classic table lamps

The stacked ceramic pebble table lamp simply sits on a piece of furniture: no work needed either. It suits a chest of drawers, a sideboard or a shelf, with a moon effect globe that gives a soft light.

Think about charging

A cordless model needs a socket, at least for charging: let the recipient know the gift must be charged before first use. Add a cable or charger to the parcel if you can. For all charging information, refer to the product page.

The extra that pleases

For a table lamp that takes a bulb, slip in a pack of 2700 K warm white bulbs: E27 at £10, E14 at £7 or G9 at £10, depending on the cap shown on the product page. For a complete gift, add the gift card.

Who this gift is ideal for

For a student, a renter or an older person, this kind of gift is ideal: no tools, no hassle. You can even hand it over in person and plug it in or charge it together, so they see the result straight away.
