Norman Road

Archive for the ‘Gifts’ Category

Are we going to have a white Christmas? All white, scrunchy and snowy; all fun out and about, red noses, glasses of good cheer…and…natch ‘o’ natch… wonderful Crimbo stuff from Norman Road? Too dang right!

Working up the food chain of delightful pressies we can start with the bestest friends’ pressies, the family mutt. Dawg’s Biscuits, Norman Road’s especial Dog Treat Emporium has Christmas treats du jour, that jour being Christmas, and are open right up to Christmas, except 22nd when they are in Tunbridge Wells.

Just up the evolutionary ladder, Kids, Love have just a fab selection of gifts for all ages including Dads. Christmas from all over the world, eco-xmas, funny-xmas, beautiful-xmas.

Xanadu have a terrific selection of Retro clothes, (I quite fancied the Leopardskin print, calf length All Star sneakers for my mum, but they’ve gone…), Skylon have 1960s, as do Why?

Some Nearly Normans/Friends of Norman are Artists and are selling fantastically desirable work: these are pressies that will last for years, give pleasure for years…worth more than just a thought in our throw away age. Check out Alex Leadbeater and Anna Keiller

For Pressy pressies there is McCarrons of Mercatoria, a veritable universe of prettiness.

And then there are the antique shops, the galleries, the places to refresh, the far-from-the-madding-crowd ambience, and last, but not least for fabulous felted goods, brooches, necklaces and scarves there is the wonder of Nunovalenki.

The first Christmas ‘do’ of the season is this Friday.

Bombarock George has moved into her own new premises at 46 Norman Road. At last you can just go straight in and sample the delights, enjoy the design, revel in the Bomba:

As well as the skull fabric furniture upholstery, there is the fine handworked rose leather, the exquisite kid’s bags with semi goth themes, and more.

McCarrons of Mercatoria, previously of 64 Norman Road, are reopening in grander, swisher new premises at 68 Norman Road. An larger and, if possible, even more enticing selection awaits, and there are two extensions: a Gallery and A Tea Room.

The new shop and the Gallery will open on 1st November 2008, and the Tea Room will slake thirsts, and provide  all cake and cookie therapy possible in the New Year.
