Favourite stores (online)

[lockitdown]

This may sound silly but it has been THAT long since I have been to the shops and , in truth, the ones near me are rubbish anyway. I rely on Amazon a LOT but the stuff on there is looking a little tired.

What are your favourite online stores for Christmas . (No kids under 16 in my life so I guess toy shops are out)

Books - Wordery and Blackwells are competitive on price with Amazon and do free delivery, they are also British-owned companies which pay their taxes.

Costco do some nice Christmas food and booze, plus decorations now and then You can get an online-only membership for £15 p.a. if you can't/don't want to drive to one of their warehouses and they charge a flat £5.99 per delivery - I think it's worth it, they're really good.

TK Maxx is good for a bit of everything, particularly gifts e.g. designer toiletries, candles, clothes at knockdown prices.

Matalan has some fun decorations which are reasonably priced.

HMV has a limited range of CDs these days, ebay is better.

Lakeland have some nice food and decorations.

Second Blackwells

Truffle shuffle. My 10yr old daughter and 13yr old son love the stuff.
Artbox very good for kawaii
Zavvi
Coolshop
Tkmaxx

HEMA - usually get unusual food items and decorations from there.

REX London - gift bags and stocking fillers

Lakeland - get Gluten free products for FIL and food stuffs like marzipan cake

H&M - Home - lovely home accessories

Matalan - Decorations are good

Lakeland and Yumbles for food gifts.

TK Maxx for beauty bits for the teens.

Not on the high street.com - I usually just google the sellers name though and buy direct. I have a friend who sells on here and the hoops they make small businesses jump through are ridiculous so I prefer to go direct now.

Cox & Cox for decorations or lights 4 fun

I don't have one go-to shop though, I do a lot of internet searching and shopping around
