I have a confession! I have not bought a single present yet! With less than a week to go ‘til Christmas, I’m still at the ‘wondering what to get for…’ stage (Another confession, the inspiration just never struck and I got stuck into the mulled wine of the party season instead. Still nothing!). I’m naturally inclined to duck out of High Street trawls with their organised gift guides (for him, for her, for the dog) and neatly merchandised rows! So, all hail my seasonal shopping saviour, Beyond Retro! These are proper presents, dipped in nostalgia and pretty sparkles, making me reminisce about a Christmas I could have lived in a bygone, childhood dream! You can give a piece of Christmas past: pearls worn by your nan, starlet dancing shoes, ‘80s wristwatch classics, special bows, vintage baubles and rare  beaded bags! All those things you know you’ll never find in Boots! (sorry Boots, I love you really!) So I’ve left it too late, but I’m not really worried! There’s all manner of pretty, thoughtful things in our stores! Come Christmas morning, no one will ever know I’ve not been planning this for months!
