STEP INTO CAMBR IDGE CHR I STMAS
NEW KID ON THE BLOCK! PORT HILL Independent candle brand Port Hill has recently opened a studio in Cambridgeshire, so if you’re looking
to source this year’s gifts from local indies, it’s a fab shout. With a wide range of bespoke scented candles, wax melts and other olfactory goodies, the company is committed to having as little impact as possible on the environment, producing its products in small batches and presenting them in reusable and recyclable packaging. You can also get your gifts parcelled up for you in the run-up to Christmas – music to the ears of those who loathe wrapping.
SEW KNIT CRAFT Thinking of giving some handmade gifts this year? Sew Knit Craft has got you covered. The family-run craft hub stocks an impressive range of materials
to enable your sewing, knitting and crocheting projects, as well as additional craft supplies to get your creative juices flowing.
SCOTSDALES If you’re on the lookout for Christmas decorations, Great Shelford-based garden centre Scotsdales may have just what you’re looking for. This time
of year, the shop is packed with festive goodies to jazz up both your indoor and outdoor space – whether you’re after a Christmas tree, some seasonal garden furniture or a string of lights. There are five main themes for Scotsdales’ 2021 Christmas offering: botanical romance, frozen nature, sugar and spice, noble creatures and winter glow.
CAMBRIDGE CHEESE COMPANY
Once you’ve peeled yourself away from the chocolatey wonders of Hill St., we’d recommend popping into the
Cambridge Cheese Company next door. As well as being great for gifts, it’s a prime spot to stock up on your winter snacking goodies. If you come away with hunks of cheese whose names you can’t pronounce, your trip has been a success.
CAMBRIDGE SATCHEL COMPANY The Cambridge Satchel Company never fails. Staple investment pieces, bags that are blessed to have this
brand’s name on their label make for standout gifts. Whether you’re treating yourself or a loved one, a Cambridge shopping trip wouldn’t be complete without at least a lustful gaze through the shop’s ever-inviting window.
