Shopping in Liverpool has never been so fun, with more designer, high street and boutique stores to choose from, right across the city centre, you can really make a day of it.

It goes without saying that Liverpool ONE offers up a huge variety of shops from clothing and footwear to jewellery, chocolate and gaming to name a few. With just a few shopping days to go we recommend heading to Utility for quirky gifts that always impress.

MetQuarter
You’re invited to deck the halls with bows of stress-free gift shopping at Met Quarter this Christmas, and if you’re looking for a little luxury, this is the place to be. From handbags to high heels, make up to modern art, we all love a little high end surprise on Christmas morning. For the girls we’re loving the new season Michael Kors leather tote bags and rose gold watches from Links of London. Treat your man to a retro shirt from Gieves & Hawkes to make sure he’s looking the part for his Christmas day pint down the pub. Check out the MetQuarter gift guides here.
Bold Street
If you’re looking for a truly unique gift, Bold Street is awash with independent and vintage stores offering everything from home dĆ©cor, clothing, trainers, books, artwork, craft sets, coffee cups and cactus and so much more.
