Get festive and stay local
There are wonderful shops in every Borders town, each with their own character and wares.
You’ll find everything you need for a great Christmas from stunning ladies’ underwear, luxury textiles, unique hand-crafted items, contemporary jewellery, trendy outdoor and sportswear to quirky home interior items and toys for all ages!
Take your time to browse around the shops for ideas and you’ll be amazed by the range of gifts on offer.
Or just ask our friendly local shopkeepers for suggestions for Christmas gifts. With price ranges to suit all budgets, you’re sure to come home with full bags.
The Borders is also home to a host of specialist food producers creating hand-made confectionery, traditional cheeses, real ale, organic poultry, wild game and the freshest of fish.
Search out specialist food shops, all stocking the most exceptional local produce. Or make a trip to the regular farmers’ markets in towns across the region to stock up for the festive period.
There is also a whole range of local events to get you into the festive spirit. Go back in time at Scott’s Selkirk, join a mince pie walk or one of the many Christmas lights switch-ons.
Why not combine your shopping with one of the many events taking place in the Borders?
And remember, by shopping locally you’ll help boost the local economy and the environment.
