Ahh, the countdown to Christmas is on and it’s safe to say I’m already seeing the panic on peoples faces while shopping for gifts. Working in retail, I’m at the forefront of it all, helping people choose that special gift for their loved one (or their work kriskringle.) I’m actually a pro at it to be fair, so what better way to share my expertise than to give you a few ideas to help you along your merry way.
I love choosing gifts for my family and friends and it really is worthwhile to put in the effort just so you’ll be sure to choose the right gift. We all know returning stuff is a pain in the arse!
All of the girls at T&C get very excited and jolly at this time of year, the place is busy with customers, the Christmas songs are playing, we’re eating more sweets than we should be, but there really is no better time of year to be at work (honestly)!
So are you stuck on a gift to buy your mother, father, friend, sister, nephew or grandpa? Well maybe my gift guide, specially selected by moi, of some of my favourite things from T&C might be helpful. We all have that someone in our lives who has (almost) everything, so a gift guide can ease some of that stress!
