Christmas conjures a varied mix of memories for me but when I think of Christmas shopping I always remember fondly the Saturdays I used to spend wandering around the mammoth gift section in the BHS in Harlow, Essex with my dad back in the nineties. Shelves upon shelves of colourful novelties, thoughtful trinkets and the sweets, oh the sweets! To this day I can't stroll past my local store in Eastbourne without being tempted over the threshold by the colourful variety of gifts and wrap on offer.
Founded in Brixton (London), BHS has been a major player on the high street for decades, I'm sure if you're not a British Home Stores regular, your mother was, and probably your grandmother too. I even bought my wedding dress from there last year (honestly, I did and it was gorgeous)!
Stocking stuffer of Secret Santa, girlfriend or granny, you'll find something to fill that Christmas-present-shaped hole in BHS, and all without breaking the bank or compromising on quality.
