Xmas presents - any reccomendations?

Rather than listen to everyone go on about how quiet it is in Hertford shops I thought it would be a nice idea if anyone could reccomend places to buy presents in Hertford - particularly for a 14 and a 10 yr old girl and a ** yr old wife! Thanks all, Desparate of North Rd!

Try the Decorated Room on Fore Street, they have some really nice stocking filler ideas, as does Cactus in Railway Street.

I have bought my daughter a cd player in Albany radio - very helpul staff. There's Harvest Moon (can't remember the new name), Monsoon, and take advantage of Methvens closing down sale. Smellies in Boots, stationery in Smiths and nice jewellery in Artico. There - loads of places!

It's called "Over the Moon". Rare & collectable books from Oxfam, not to mention buying wells in Africa... maybe not for the kids, though, eh? Cameras from the Bull Plain camera shop (forgotten name, sorry, but V V helpful) Starfish as well as Decorated Room Colin Sykes Jewelers - definately for the wife. Or to show her that you really care, the tattoo place on Fore Street![:D] Lots of shopping possibilities, which reminds me....

Most of the places I was going to recommend have been mentioned, but I will be heading to the following today on the Christmas shopping trail: Decorated Room, Artico, Starfish, Wiggingtons, Methvens, plus lots of others in between, but those are the ones I'm sure I'll buy in. Colin Sykes & Lance James (think that's the name - place opposite Shire Hall) great for jewellry.
