As we start to think of ideas for Christmas gifts I've recently found a few on a great website called Etsy, lots of small retailers offering some unusual gifts at reasonable prices often with p&p included.

Hope its ok to mention this as i'm not advertising and have no connections to the site or anybody on it.

    I really like Etsy and have used it several times to buy gifts for people.

    The vendors on there are mostly very skilled people who handmake stuff as a hobby or small business.

    I recommend it :)

    Etsy is always a good shout, I like to use Not On the High Street too quite a bit at Christmas time.

    Anything warm this year would be a nice present, perhaps a cat 🐈 they’re quite warm 🤣

    Home made gift vouchers for babysitting, looking after a pet etc; voucher for doing someone else's chores around the house, Voucher for a cooking for a week, fixing an item. A voucher for doing something for someone else that they feel they don't have the time for or are pushed to the limit by. The greatest gift you can give is your time X

    I've spent hours looking at gifts on line for people, doesn't help when you don't know what to get. I'm going to keep it simple this year, not trapsing around shops. Unfortunately for me it's cheaper on line and more choices.
