Xmas Pressie Ideas

[Jonnyboy]

Im really struggling to think of anything good today and my head hurts. Ive got a load of links to groupon but none of them are appealing at the mo (apart from some snow boots).

 

Anyone got any good links for internet shopping for any particular items (don't wanna go to West Quay)?

 

Any help much appreciated.

Visit a junk/second hand/antique shop. I hate sterile chain stores with a passion. Everything is mass produced CRAP made in China.

 

I would recommend a nice pair of victorian diamond jubilee brass candle sticks. They look magnificent once polished up.

(you'll probably have to pay 40 quid, but you can get cheaper if you do the leg work)

I want to do it all online this year apart a last minute visit to a garden centre as usual.

You might get it for under 200 quid (as it's a local pick up only)...

 

Could be a good buy.

I always filter down to free p+P and within a 25/10 mile radius. That is where you can get the steals. Also check out buy it now (newly listed) items as if you are lucky (and I have been) you can also take advantage of sellers who are clueless. For e.g i once bought a george iii heavy gauge solid silver creamer for 10 quid - it was worth over 100 quid.
