Olympia’s Christmas shopping village has the right present for everyone!

For the horse-mad, there is much to visit! Head to Equiport, the one-stop shop for horse and rider. From show rugs to jackets, there are many different fabrics and colours to choose from.

Finally, make your horse the smartest at the yard with Snuggy Hoods’ coordinating hoods and accessories.

For the lady in your life, take some inspiration from Angela Davidson Art, where you can browse original artwork and limited edition prints. Explore the beautifully hand decorated ceramic tiles on offer at Florian Tiles, which make up clocks, table mats and cheeseboards. Pashmina UK offers four sizes of pashmina so she can wrap up stylishly in the winter months and Maxwell Scott has some gorgeous handbags to choose from. On your way out, pop by Casada Health and Beauty and pick up “the maxiwell” a massage cushion which gives a well-earned body massage, perfect for her (or you!) after all the shopping!

For the modern man, make a beeline for Mini Speakers Ltd, manufacturers of a range of quality travel speaker systems for use with iPods and mobile phones. The Flying Duck Co has some fun stocking fillers, unique gifts and amazing gadgets to choose from.
