Have you ever heard of the expression: "its better to give than to receive"? Well although i DO enjoy receiving pressies, there is something so satisfying in buying a friend or family member something original, wrapping it up and watching their faces when they open it. The problem is that there is always something to celebrate, some birthday to buy for, some wedding to attend. Add that to Mother's day, Father's day, Christmas, Easter,Valentines ....the list is endless, it is exhausting coming up with gift ideas. Sometimes when I am lacking in inspiration, I toddle off to The Trafford Centre and The Gift Company never fails to let me down.
Unusual artwork and animals crafted out of metal make for great, unique gifts. I bought a friend who enjoys the odd bottle of vino one of The Gift Company's metal guitar player bottle holders for £10 and she adored it. To be honest, it was the most interesting present she got amongst the tubs of body butter and bath bombs other people bombarded her with. This shop also sells stunning candle sets with scents like: cranberry and spiced oranges , and chocolate and caramel fudge- you don't know whether to burn them or eat them.There are patchwork animals and the sweetest teddy bears in outfits for only £3!! The Gift Company also specialises in furniture that is hand crafted from American Oak and Mango wood and a large coffee table will set you back £175. I like shops with a price range for everybody and this store certainly has it all. read more
