So what are you waiting for, come into Knowle to pick up those last minute Christmas gifts!
Gifts to experience
Gift the experience of a workshop to a friend this Christmas. We’ve got sewing workshops in the centre of Knowle from All About the Sew and Glass making workshops from Cheryl Steventon Glass and from Melissa’s Melting Pot.
If sport is more your thing, then why not pick up some tickets to a local cricket match at Knowle Cricket Club or football game at Solihull Moors?
Perhaps a UK short break, or even a trip abroad would be the ultimate gift for someone. Visit Knowle Travel or Journey the World for inspiration on where to book for 2023.
Gifts for little ones
Pick up a perfect gift for little ones from Howela who stock a fabulous range of childrens-wear, gifts and stocking fillers. Browse the treasure trove of gifts from Carly’s and pick up a cuddly Jellycat toy or baby’s first Christmas gift from. Replenish chilldren’s stock of felt tips, pencils or notepads from Midland Business Equipment. Alternatively, satisfy that sweet tooth with the utterly gorgeous children’s chocolate gift set from 1683 Chocolate Place or with sweet cones from Knowle Traditional Sweet Shop.
You could even give the gift of dance classes from Warwickshire Dance Academy.
Gifts to help you relax
2022 has been a tough year. Relax, rejuvenate or just give some “me-time” to someone special through gift vouchers from one of our salons. From massages to manicures to aesthetics, Knowle has you covered. You can pick up vouchers from Achill Spa, Hampton Clinic, Kaizen Beauty King Thai Therapy, Soni Milano, The Boutique and Toni Barbieri. Alternatively, book a physio session at Physio and Health Matters or a series of pilates sessions at Studio 52.
Another idea would be to pop fabulous hair products from Simon Paul Hair or ghd’s from The Boutique.
For relaxing at home, why not pick up a jigsaw from Piccadilly Cards?
