Ever fancied spending the evening with the magic director for the Harry Potter films? Or seeing the Bank of England's private art collection? Chris Pensa's unique membership club, Love Art London offers these experiences and more as Chris explains here. He's even offering a special Christmas deal for Run-Rioters looking for the perfect gift for an Art Lover in London.


Do you remember when they first made the internet and everyone was like, 'In ten years there will be no books.Fact.' Well, they were wrong. Books still make the best gifts, in my book (see what I did there) whether as stocking fillers or as a theme for more inventive gifts. The Literary Gift Company does what it says on the tin; a great failsafe for bookworms. Here are some more personalised recommendations for friends of mine who are book fans, storytellers, or even clever enough to have written books themselves.


2010 has been a big year for vintage, with the likes of Lily Allen taking it mainstream with her venture 'Lucy in Disuguise' and the first festival dedicated to all things retro, Vintage at Goodwood. So what to buy for followers of the vintage trend?If they're new to the scene, nothing will beat an introduction from the experts; try a half or full day vintage tour of London from Fox and Squirrel.

Welcome to the second instalment of my Christmas Gift Guide series. This week I chatted to my friends who work in fashion; these guys spend all year surrounded by gorgeous stuff, so come Christmas, they KNOW what they want.I've tried to give some tailored recommendations, but be warned- this is a fussy bunch. If your fashionista friend says they want one of the new Vivienne Westwood notebooks for Christmas, then they MEAN a Vivienne Westwood notebook, not one that looks the same and is a fraction of the price from WHSmith.

Whether we like it or not, the festive season is being thrust upon us left right and centre by an industry striving to lure us out of a recession. In support of their cause, and to help you with your gift buying, I have asked friends of mine from various industries what they'd like for Christmas- both realistically and in an ideal world. Hopefully this will cater for those of you with on a budget and those of you who are loaded. I'll also be offering my own gift recommendations, testament to my embarrassingly encyclopaedic knowledge of internet shopping sites.Go forth, shop, be merry.
