Christmas Shopping

Looking for a gift for that hard-to-buy-for relative or friend?  Try one of these helpful spots on Edinburgh's shopping scene:

1 Present

A shop full of …. Yes, presents. Lots of fun stuff here, from the quirky and unusual to the downright bizarre.

2 Watch

The clocks and watches you can find here are anything but boring. The array of fun colours, shapes, and sizes means you can find something for pretty much anybody.

3 Edinburgh Soap Co.

Skip the high street chains and check out the products at this Royal Mile boutique. Their products are all made from natural ingredients – no nasty stuff – and they have some great Christmas gift baskets. You might want to pick up something for yourself too while here.

4 Ah Ha Ha

If you can’t find a serious gift, then why not go for something a bit more original? Aha Ha Ha has everything from old gag favourites to newer fun novelties. Check it out, it is a fun place to visit even if you don’t find what you need (which is highly unlikely).

5 Caoba

While Mexican might not have been high on your gift list genres, it might be just the thing to add a splash of colour to an otherwise dull winter’s day. Ceramics, jewellery, and other odds and ends make for a buffet of choice for even the choosiest gift giver.
