With just two shopping weekends left until the biggest gift day of the year I know where I will be looking this weekend for my last minute gifts! John Lewis have a great selection available online from stocking fillers, to the big brands like LEGO which the boy loves so much. This is the LEGO Star Wars, Millennium Falcon set the boy will be enjoying this year, I think he will like it?
I have had very little time to browse the shops, and seem to have spent most of my time with hospital appointments for Dad M, or at school productions, rehearsals and after school clubs. So tonight while the boy is at his last fencing of the year, I will be sneaking off to my local John Lewis store for inspiration. Last year we started a tradition of buying a family game for the festive period. This proved to be good fun especially after our Christmas dinner as it was great to all play something new. This year I have chosen the classic, Cluedo, something I know the whole family will love, and I am sure the boy will grow to love too.
I am always on the look out for interesting little stocking fillers or something just a bit unusual. So being able to browse online, to find what I want and then have it delivered has been invaluable. I like the website dropdowns which I find easy to use, especially being able to select age, gender or even how much I want to spend. This year I have to buy for a girl as we will be spending time with family and my niece for the first time. I don’t think I can go wrong with Disney Princesses, as everyone loves Disney!
Anyone who knows me will know what a huge fan of John Lewis I am, and was almost the first in line when they opened the fab new store in Chichester. I think most of my large household appliances have come from them, including my soon to be delivered washing machine. I am always amazed at the staffs commitment and enthusiasm and will always recommend their unbeatable customer service to family and friends.
With the John Lewis never knowingly undersold promise, I know that I wont be paying out more than I need too, even if I find it cheaper after I have made my purchase. So good luck if you are going to brave the shops this weekend, I have just got to find my own Christmas gift, a new camera and I know where I will be starting.

I’m a big fan of John Lewis and their ethics – I think after we spent £130 there last weekend they’re probably big fans of me! 😀
