Chichester Gift and Card Shops this Christmas

As Christmas is quite hot on our heels now, I thought I would supply you with a list of classic gift and card shops in Chichester for all your essentials!
I shall begin the list with the wonderfully unusual Present Surprise. Present Surprise is a proudly quirky shop selling everything from photo frames to pottery animals and organic soaps to beer bottle clocks. There is something little in there for every member of the family - whether it be the Great-Aunt Mildred or little Jonny.
From the original to the slightly more traditional, we go to Past Times. As their name suggests, Past Times stock is generally made up of Christmas presents from yesteryear such as Russian Dolls but they do also stock some more modern gifts and toys. Past Times are the kind of store that really gets into the Christmas spirit and it is almost worth popping in there just so you can feel Christmassy!
Keeping with the more traditional side of presents, another place worth popping into for a look is the Chichester Cathedral Gift Shop. The Cathedral, as we all know very well, is a beautiful attribute to this city and something from their gift shop can make a great gift for family living elsewhere for us to show off the beautiful city in which we live.
It would be impossible to do a list of Gift and Card Shops in Chichester without giving a mention to Clinton Cards. I am sure that Clinton Cards has got many of us through yet another year of birthdays and I am also sure it won't let us down this Christmas. Of course, all your Christmas cards can be purchased there but they also have a fairly healthy stock of wrapping paper and fancy ribbons and such like to ensure you present all your lovely gifts in style.
A new shop this year which will be great for any Christmas Parties you are looking to attend or even host is Pink Pig Party Shop. They have a whole host of great party games, hats and everything else you could want for a great Christmas party and the staff in there are really helpful too.
And lastly but by no means leastly, in these present days of buying presents we will look at Present Days. Present Days is a rather fancy little store in Chichester selling stocks from a number of prestigious companies including Royal Worcester, Spode, Beatrix Potter, Darlington Crystal and Portmeirion.
Well I do hope this list can be of some service to you and your Christmas shopping. There is plenty there I am sure to keep us all busy with looking at lovely gifts even if none of us have the money to actually buy any!

This is a really useful guide to Christmas present finding. Although I read that it is £78 cheaper to do it all online!

ReportA nice selection Joe, thank you, may I add to the list the 'one stop cards shop' I've used for a couple of years,'Cards for Good Causes' in the Assembly Rooms,North Street. They are open this weekend (24/25 Nov) and also this weekend Christmas Craft and Gifts Market being advertised at the Assembly Rooms also looks interesting and I'll be dropping in to check it out.
