Send us a tip on great independent shops – you could win a holiday voucher

Tell us where you go for top alternative Christmas shopping in the UK – the best tip wins £200 towards a Sawday’s stay

Where do you go to get the best alternative Christmas presents and stocking fillers? We’re not talking online here … we want suggestions for great independent high streets that support local makers, cool markets selling handcrafted goods, or perhaps there’s a winter weekend of artists’ open studios near you where you can hunt down unusual artisan gifts. We’re after suggestions in the UK (and good value not high-end shops!) – simply share your suggestion and why you love it and you might even bag a trip yourself.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
