Plus: The best supermarket mincemeat: ‘I’d use this over homemade every time’
| | | | | Sponsored by |  | | | | | | | | | | | | It’s the most wonderful time of the year – but it can also be the most stressful. With multiple gifts to buy and a packed social calendar to contend with, Christmas shopping can feel like a drag. But don’t let that force you into the dreaded panic purchase – gifting is meant to be thoughtful, and chances are, the recipient will be able to tell it wasn’t purchased with them in mind.
That’s why Fashion news and features editor Bibby Sowray scoured the UK for the best destinations to do your Christmas shopping, whether you’re looking for charming independent boutiques or iconic department stores with mega-displays.
Elsewhere, we step inside the nostalgic English flat of Cabbages & Roses creative director Violet Dent. She has an unashamed love of stuff, and fills her flat with plates, hats, baskets and flowers; the miscellaneous bits and bobs that bring her joy. Her design approach may not be for everyone, but it certainly is inspiring.
Enjoy!
