Choosing gifts can prove to be a challenge but at Maguire Metcalfe, in Bowness, the theme for this year is "get cosy".

I love their fabulous stripey socks and scarfs, the perfect gift to keep us girls warm during what is forecast to be a very long winter. If you are lucky enough to be invited out for dinner or to a party, and cannot think of a gift to take, worry no more - Miss Chief Fortune cookies are a decadent confection of Italian sugar curls delicately dipped in finest single origin dark chocolate. Encased in each is one of hundreds of forfeits that promise to turn up the heat at any party! These really are a great gift and have the most beautiful packaging.

There is nothing better at Christmas than curling up in front of the fire with a piping-hot chocolate drink while watching the classic Christmas movie It's A Wonderful Life. Maguire Metcalfe have the most beautiful hot chocolate cups and saucers I have seen, presented in a gorgeous box. Wrap these with the video and some lovely rich hot chocolate sachets and there you have the perfect gift.

Continuing on the theme of getting cosy, there are some gorgeous linen pyjamas - a stylish way to keep warm and look good in the early hours of Christmas morning. All gifts are carefully wrapped in pink tissue and, for those of you who still cannot decide what to buy, there is of course always the gift voucher. www.maguiremetcalfe.co.uk
