I gave purses to all the ladies & wallets to all the men. The man in the shop gave me discount for bulk buying which i spent on mulled wine at the xmas market. Xmas shopping completed in 15 mins.

 

Was this really despicable?

I was quite chuffed that I managed to do all my Christmas shopping without using Amazon or any chain stores.

 

If anyone's interested, this is what I used (in addition to the National Railway Museum, already mentioned):

Gift shop at the Wales Millennium Centre (dragon)

Tusch und Egon (Cabin Porn and ear-rings)

Decorum (cushion and candle)

The Brokedown Palace (socks)

The Sampler (sherry)

Les Aldrich Music (diary)

Hive via Joseph's Bookstore (This Little Puffin and Run the Jewels 2)
