The sleigh bells are almost ringing and it’s time to start the Christmas shopping.
It can feel like a bit of a slog, but our best advice is to start with the kids – because when the bestsellers sell out, you’re in trouble. Tick off those gift lists nice and early.
Here are our top picks…
1) Say hello to the magical Starly Unicorn, a soft toy made by Steiff, the German Teddy Bear maker. She is sewn from cuddly, soft white woven fur with a super-soft mane and tail and Steiff ‘button in ear’ which indicates their toy safety standards are above all of the standard international checks and tests. £22.90 from Charles Michies, Gift Department, 391 Union Street, Aberdeen.
