Hove's Good Gift Guide: 7 Excellent Shops

Christmas Shopping – it's the final push! What to get? Where to have a look? What's different that those difficult people might just like?

We have been to seven Hove shops to check out whats on offer, and we've found some nice stuff.

Really good value original pen and ink sketches at 1. Imi loa for instance, slinky ethnic dresses at 2. altjeringa, and vintage goodies from 3. Mrs Canuticacq's Emporium. (you may remember the quirky pleasures of Mrs C's – one of Hove's special shops.)

See them on the gallery Hove's Good Gift Guide 1

Then there's a shop full of little wooden figures and boxes, that's 4. JUGS (Just Unusual Gifts) with more from Mrs Canuticacq's Emporium and altjeringa here

The latest gallery shows eco-friendly gift ideas at 5. Eklectica (check out the mango wood chandelier); 6. i gigi's tree candles and a host of good things at 7. Lulu and Hitch. Have a browse on
