My mum want's a green hat scarf and gloves for christmas. I trawled through Gap, River Island, Fat Face, Next, M&S yesterday to no avail.

It needs to be a muted rather than garish green, sagey rather than lime iyswim.

I need to have it by christmas obviously.

Can anyone help???

Oh, and it needs 'not to be scratchy'!!!

argh!

This is what you need. Cashmere and gorgeous so very much not scratchy. I think the prices are good too. Brora

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 16/12/2006 14:24

Oh yes there is a brora shop on the Kings Rd

Heathcliffscathy · 16/12/2006 16:20

ok. something between the two? lambswool or something?

hat scarf and gloves will be over £100 from brora.

and i don't think she wants fleece.

love the colours though.

She'd love you forever though if you got them (not that she doesn't love you now, of course!). They are fabulous. And only the price of a big supermarket shop....
Otherwise go to a small independent clothes shop in your area. They are better for this sort of thing IME than the chain stores.

sigh. you're right.

i guess.

except i sort of think she never appreciates this sort of thing. for eg. she wouldn't know what brora was. at all. and secondly, i'm not even sure she would appreciate cashmere.

but you know what. i'm going to do it.

brora on monday it is.

there is a brora on upper st,. the stuff is really beautiful though pricey but i suspected that when there was a bloke on duty just to open door for you...
i got a good green scarf this winter (am sure there were gloves too) recently from bhs not sure if thats your thing but it was nice shade and very soft and you could get her something good for skin from spacenk for the money you save...thats what i'd do anyhow..good luck w/ shopping...

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 17/12/2006 18:56

have you tried uniqlo?

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 17/12/2006 18:58

cashmere scarf
cashmere gloves

they may well have hats too

there is a lightish green in there

DingDongDraculaOnHigh · 17/12/2006 18:59

I bought a scarf and glove set from Tesco (hurrah!), it is a, ummmm, sort of light leafy green, and fades into dark green then almost brown IYSWIM. It is v soft, there is also a matching hat, too. The scarf set was £7, hat is £5. Bargain!

dara · 19/12/2006 19:00

The Uniqlo stuff is great! A brilliant find. I'd still, personally, prefer Brora, but if you know your mum wouldn't swoon over it, then Uniqlo is better.
