Whether you believe in being prepared, or if you happen to be one of those who do their shopping just before closing on Christmas Eve, take a look in Hobbs in early October when their first ever luxury gift range is to be launched.

Offering many perfect gifts for the festive season, or even any birthdays that ‘conveniently’ pop up in the coming months when you’re desperately trying to save your money, the new Hobbs range will have you spoilt for choice for the ladies in your life. If you’re thinking ahead to New Year or Valentines to whisk a loved one away on a romantic break, make sure she is well equipped with the Valerie overnight bag, a mock crock oversized holdall, with the Oriel jewellery roll in metallic leather too, for all those diamonds you have bought her in the past (this is one lucky girl).

Perfect stocking fillers include cute leather key rings shaped in the form of hearts and stiletto heels. The cobalt make up bag is very this season in its hue, and the jet black and spotty umbrella is so stylish it will no doubt be something you’ll be wishing you had had all summer long!

In store early October, don’t worry if you aren’t normally this prepared for Christmas. Why break the habit of a life time? Simply buy something for yourself instead…
