STEP INTO CAMBR IDGE CHR I STMAS

IRIS & VIOLET It would be a crime to sidestep Cambridge Satchel Company’s new neighbour while you’re out! Iris & Violet has quickly become an Edition

favourite – as you may have noticed from our recent wish lists – and that’s for good reason. The store’s muted palettes and soft textures span its entire clothing and homeware collection, offering an on-trend aesthetic that will serve up plenty of gift-buying inspiration this festive season.

HILL ST. Chocolate? Lots of it? All in the same place? Welcome to the heaven that is Hill St. If anyone on your ‘to buy for’ list happens to be a chocolate fiend,

you can knock their socks off with a gift from this fine establishment, which will no doubt sell out of its magnificent festive offering if you don’t get in there quick. We’re not joking; this shop is a fail-safe Christmas gift haven.

GRAPE BRITANNIA No self-respecting Christmas shopper would neglect to select some wine for the festive season. Understandably, you may not be up to carting heavy bottles

around town after you’ve spent the day picking up presents, but that’s the beauty of Grape Britannia. You can browse a dazzling array of fine English wines online, and get them delivered to your home. And if you time it right, they may just be waiting for you when you get back from your shopping trip…

GRAND ARCADE The Grand Arcade is a great place to start if you’re still calibrating your Christmas shopping compass. It’s got a fantastic selection of high-street

giants, including the likes of Apple, Mango and John Lewis, and is also home to a couple of local favourites where you can pick up some excellent gifts (looking at you, Chocolat Chocolat). This time of year comes with a calendar of family- friendly events, too!
