Shops bursting with<br />

festive gift ideas<br />

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the<br />

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as<br />

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at<br />

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops<br />

are bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive body pampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

and again there is a wide selection to choose from,<br />

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from the<br />

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy<br />

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener<br />

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a<br />

smile on their face on Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy<br />

than seeing the excitement of the children opening<br />

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa<br />

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly<br />

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy<br />

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling<br />

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas<br />

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards<br />

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

Little ones<br />
