Guide to Christmas shopping in Beaconsfield Part 1

Dare I say it, please don't shoot the messenger ... Christmas is fast approaching!

 

Some of us prefer to wait until the last minute, some of us will have already started to keep an eye open for possible prezzies for their loved one's, friends and colleagues.  

To help with the hunt for Christmas Gifts I've compiled a list of recommended Beaconsfield stores. 

Stay tuned as another article will follow shortly with specific gift ideas gleaned from a recent reconnaissance mission of these stores. 

Whether your looking for something for him, for her, or for the kids. If its got to be something unusual, exclusive or budget  ... Beaconsfield has it all!

Gifts for him

For the guys you generally cannot go wrong with a carefully selected bottle of plonk, try Laithwaites, Beaconsfield Wine Cellars and Oddbins. 

Gadgets are another sure fire winner, have a look in Lakes, Onkyo Europe Electronics and Timepiece.

If he's the sporty type you might want to pop into Dowlings Field Sports. 

For clothing why not have a browse in Crew Clothing, Fat Face, Country House Menswear, Benetton, and White Stuff. 

Gifts for her

Beaconsfield spoils us for choice when it comes to ladies fashion with Crew Clothing, Ruby Boutique, Fat Face, Benetton, White Stuff, Cliche, Viyella, Watercolours Fashion, Lucynthia Lady Fashion Accessories, Shu Shu, Shoe Be Do and Feathers of Marlow. Guys just remember to ask the store for a gift receipt. 

If you know what scent she likes pop into Space NK and Boots. For something sparkly or shiny try Bourne End Jewellers. If you wan to say it with flowers go to the Chiltern Florists. If she's a gardener Wyevales is the place    

Kids

Whether it's for a 'Bundle of Joy', an 'Ankle Biter' or an 'Inbetweener' there are a selection of stores to choose from. Try Tots 2 Teenagers, The Entertainer, Fun Junction, Blockbuster and WH Smiths.

Budget gifts

Have lots of people to buy for? Try Sainsburys, Waitrose and Boots. They usually have 3 for 2 offers on Xmas gifts. On a tight budget or want to do some good when you spend why not pop into Beaconsfields numerous Charity Shops. There's the Helen & Douglas House which also sells new jewellery. Also Help the Aged, Oxfam, Iain Rennie Hospice Shop. Benefiting from from our well heeled residents a browse in a Beaconsfield charity shop can often reveal a treasure
