I saw a nice looking pot plant the other day, and would like to get one
for the home, but have not a clue what it would be called, or even
genus.

Genus Euphorbia.

It was very christmassy having green leaves on the bottom half and
bright red leaves at the top. Leaves about 10cm span, and quite soft.
Height around 40cm.

As Michael Adams says, it is called a poinsettia - but, as I say,
it isn't. No matter. It isn't that hard to keep going for a few
weeks or months but, as he says, it goes green and needs special
treatment to redden up next year.
