From the traditional to the original- Victoria Square has something to suit everyone in the family this Christmas- along with some gorgeous treats for you to put on your Santa Wish-List!
With late night mid-week openings- it's perfect for all you gals who have left your Christmas shopping until the last minute!
With shops galore and lots of delicious eateries to relax, have a quick rest and recharge - it's an irresistible present-shopping destination!
The 'IT' buy for guys this autumn/winter has to be the Barbour quilted jacket (£95). They have been sported by celebs galore and they're flying out of the door at Clockwork Orange this season.
If your man is more of a techie, an IPad 2 (£399) from the Apple Store in Victoria Square will surely put you in the good books for the whole of 2012!
One for your own wish-list is definitely this gorgeous Anya Hindmarch gold glitter Murano clutch (£250)- satisfy your love for bling and handbags in one go!
For the kids, House of Fraser is full of brilliant toys, games and gifts for kids – this Ridley's magic set (£10) and Where's Wally jigsaw are sure to provide hours of entertainment.

For someone that deserves a bit of pampering 'me time' this Christmas- inside the aromatic haven of Rituals you'll find a beauty ritual to suit every taste. The heavenly scent of Rituals' Sakura series – characterised by the happy fragrance of Japanese cherry blossom and rice - is the perfect range to bring a 'Zen-like' calm to your New Year Beauty regime. The stunning 
Sakura Rituals Gift Set (£42) contains the legendary Ginkgo's Secret Extra Rich & Repairing Hand Balm, Magic Touch Body Cream, Sakura Body Scrub, Zensation Shower Gel & Carpe Diem Shampoo.
We all know someone who is always late! One of these fab 'Touch Watches' (£100) from the Swatch Event Showroom in Victoria Square could be just the ticket.
But if you're superstitious and buy into the old saying that if a loved one gives you a gift of a watch, time might be ticking on your relationship then it's probably best to avoid giving one of these to your partner.

If one of your pals is enjoying their first Christmas with a newborn, Mamas & Papas is packed with gorgeous gifts from novelty velour reindeer booties (£7) to a cute commemorative 'My 1st Christmas' tin that will be theirs to treasure for many Christmases to come.
For a nice stocking filler these cute Fairilse ballerina slippers (£12) from La Senza are designed for cosy Christmas nights in.

If there's a man in your life that needs a helping hand when it comes to his chat up lines, then these brilliant 'Lines for All Occasions' books (£6 each) may turn out to be a very useful stocking filler.

Knits are big news this season with Nordic and Fairilse patterns everywhere – the Tommy Hilfiger jumper (£150) pictured is essentially a classier take on the usual Christmas jumper.

For the caffine junkie in your family, this coffee machine is sure to bring a smile to their face in the morning!

For the gal that has everything, there's always time for a bit of pampering and this fab Nails Inc Wonderobe (£35 at House of Fraser) is full of classic Nails Inc shades that are sure to keep her talons in good shape for months to come.
Finally, if you're still not sure what to buy, a Victoria Square Gift Card could be just the ticket. Available in any value from £10 upwards from the Customer Service Desk on the Lower Ground Floor, it will allow your loved one to shop in any Victoria Square store, or dine in any Victoria Square restaurant- so they can choose the perfect gift for themselves.
