Christmas is the time of giving, but sometimes giving can be hard. In fact, a lot of us are much more partial to receiving than giving – Oh don’t be so crude, we’re talking about Christmas presents. But it’s true! Certain people are just particularly hard to buy for, and if you’re reading this then you’re probably a lazy person (like me). This list of Christmas hacks is here to help you find a last-minute gift with London as your inspiration…
1. A discarded copy of the Metro makes great wrapping paper.
2. A necklace of pigeon feathers is set to be big in SS17.
3. Who wouldn’t love an Oyster card with £5 loaded on it?
5. If they live in Camden – anything leather and spiky will do.
6. If they live in Clapham – a photo of a kangaroo. They’ll probs be missing home.
8. A ‘meze’ of free tasters you picked up around Borough Market.
9. If they’re not from London, offer up your flat for the night. For free! You generous soul.
10. A bunch of flowers, hand-picked from St James Park.
11. A piece of paper saying ‘Good for one free* Pint *up to the value of £5′
12. Share your Uber discount code, alongside ?< emoji.
13. Foxes make adorable pets (we think), if you can catch one.
14. A self-taken photo of the London skyline, printed out (on your printer at work) and put in a frame from Tiger.
