Shop local, utilise the options

-

AS the big day approaches and the gift-list continues to grow it’s easy to give in to panic, to go online and purchase something, anything, before the delivery deadline passes.

However, there is an alternativ­e, an option which won’t have you nervously awaiting the postman every morning for the next week. You could just shop local, utilise the options available outside your front door.

O’Callaghan’s Centra are offering a range of deals on Christmas favourites throughout the holiday season and even stock DVDs at bargain prices for those last-minute stocking fillers.

If you’re feeling particular­ly generous this Christmas and want to show your appreciati­on with a grand gesture, take a look around L&M Motors where you’ll find the best in used vehicles, including hybrid, electric, from BMW to Nissan and Mercedes-Benz.

And if that new motor, or an old one, requires a service to see in the New Year go to Art Butler & Sons Autobody Repair Centre.

Christmas is generally a time of rest and relaxation but if you’re still waiting for those shelves to go up or that door to be fixed then Tommy Williamson Farm and Landscapin­g Supplies could provide you with an inspiratio­nal yet practical present. Stocking everything from power tools to hardware it’s the ideal place to shop for the DIY lover in your life.

All that endeavour is likely to lead to a bit of good old-fashioned elbow great and sweaty brows, so, to improve the odour of your beloved, visit Garahy’s Pharmacy where you’ll find all the latest fragrances, not to mention other an array of other gift ideas and surprises.

It’s hard being a teetotalle­r throughout the year, but especially hard at Christmas. Make the non-drinker in your life feel special with a selection of traditiona­l fruit cordials courtesy of Enniscorth­y’s own Naturally Cordial range - available in Super Valu and Dunnes.

If you’re still struggling for gift ideas why not treat your loved one to a day of relaxing beauty and spa treatments in the Rejuvenate Treatment Rooms in The Riverside Park Hotel. And if you’re unsure what to get a gift voucher for an undisclose­d amount will ensure he or she can choose whatever their heart desires.
