Shops bursting with<br />
festive gift ideas<br />
The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making<br />
up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you<br />
haven’t already done so.<br />
Finding those special gifts and stocking<br />
fillers as well as the Christmas treats for<br />
the table is so easy at our city’s malls and<br />
shopping centres, where the shops are<br />
bursting with festive merchandise.<br />
Every woman likes to receive bodypampering<br />
gifts, and there is a huge<br />
selection of these priced to suit all budgets<br />
at the many pharmacies and gift shops<br />
around the city. Perfume is another<br />
favourite and again there is a wide<br />
selection to choose from, ranging from<br />
exciting new releases to the well-known<br />
fragrances that have stood the test of time.<br />
Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories,<br />
homewares and decor items – there’s no<br />
end to the ideas for the women on the list.<br />
The men are equally well catered for, from<br />
the sophisticated metro-male boyfriends,<br />
to the car-crazy brothers and the DIY<br />
enthusiast and keen gardener husbands<br />
and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />
tools, personal grooming items and<br />
gadgets to put a smile on their face on<br />
Christmas morning.<br />
Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families<br />
more joy than seeing the excitement<br />
of the children opening their presents.<br />
Whether they are delivered by Santa or<br />
snuck under the tree by mum and dad,<br />
the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building<br />
blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and<br />
pretty dresses currently filling the shops<br />
will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />
the smallest family members.<br />
The tweens and teens usually have their<br />
own ideas about what they want for<br />
Christmas, so the gift cards offered by a<br />
wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />
to please.<br />
