Where are you spending Christmas this year? In London, then in France with friends for New Year Where will you be present buying? At the Fenwick and Daily Telegraph Christmas shopping events, Newcastle, Tunbridge Wells and New Bond Street! What will you be giving? Jo Malone, Hunter socks, Fenwick Newcastle ‘Rooftop Honey’ (yes, it’s made from hives on the roof of the store!!), bits and pieces I’ve collected on location and a few things from the Royal Pavilion Brighton shop Share a Christmas tip Love to collect ivy, surviving rosebuds/any flower buds, coloured leaves, and make a big trailing ‘curtain’ to go around the fireplace, then decorate with little coloured felt birds (just re-reading this and that does sound very Kirstie Allsopp twee!) What’s your favourite Christmas tune? I am Gonna be Warm (huh-harm) this winter by Connie Francis
