As well as indulging in a little Luella spree I managed to find some very lovely gifts at Bicester Village which I can't wait to give!They have over 120 stores, and to help you find the perfect present they've made an online gift guide which I love because of the fabulous illustrations for the 24 personalities (I'm guessing I'm whichever one a certain brand beginning in 'L' is under). Under each type there are some gift ideas and a list of ideal shops, they even mark these shops on a map for you to print off. And even better you can hand in your map at the visitor centre to win £500 and £250 gift cards, or lunch for 4 people on your next trip: think of all the Luella you could buy with that... *ahem* (Must not get distracted with Luella- NO I'm not obsessed and desperate to go back already!!). My top shops for gifts are Cath Kidston for lovely little girly presents and pretty house hold items, Accessorise for fun Christmas decorations and accessories, The Cosmetics Company store for gorgeous gifts from the likes of MAC, Dior has beautiful jewellery for very special presents and the new Phaidon book store (whose arrival my dad is very impressed with). And speaking of men; browsing round a few menswear stores there are some lovely ties and such- my favourites were in D&G, as I know someone who rather loves a bit of tweed.
Whoops- oh yes, you can find the gift guide here: http://giftguide.bicestervillage.com/ :D

I want to go so much! So far from me though :( Maybe in the new year....I probably still wouldn't be able to afford anything from Luella anyway! The only item I have is the Batman tee, that I scored for £15 in a sale...
Florrie, lovely post! If anyone wants to try out the gift guide you can find it online here http://giftguide.bicestervillage.com/ and remember to print off the map for a chance to get prizes! We call it our Gift Angel, I'd be lost without it!http://blog.bicestervillage.com/2009/12/07/thank-you-santa-for-sending-me-a-gift-list-angel/
Wow, I'd love to go there sometime!
I'd never heard of Bicester until you started blogging about it - and I really wish I was near enough to go...
