Stanfords' Staff Top Gifts for Christmas

With just one week to go until Christmas we asked the staff in our Long Acre store what gifts they’d recommend this Christmas. Take a look at their top picks below:

David, Buying Team:

London Postcode District Jigsaw

Sometimes mixing design, maps and fun works – this is one of those times!



Tim, Customer Services Team:

Britain’s Worst Walks

Christmas would definitely not be Christmas without a book of this ilk to fill the stocking of the most cynical of relatives. This is a stroll through humdrum Britain in all its wet, cold and miserable glory, complete with doom-laden photography, depressing asides and snidy sketch maps for the 13 walks. A wonderful parody of the walking guide genre, Britain’s Worst Walks will light up the face of many a Scrooge this Christmas morning.

 Tabi, Accounts Team:

The Charleston Classic Illuminated Globe

I’d recommend the Charleston Illuminated Globe as a gift as I bought if for my daughter’s birthday present and she loved it! She has learned a lot about the globe and the countries and they also make a beautiful night light in any room!! Continue reading Stanfords' Staff Top Gifts for Christmas
