What type of Christmas shopper are you? Do you have everything bought wrapped and under the tree by October? (if you’re one of those strange people who puts up their tree in October of course). Or are you rushing around the shops on Christmas Eve, grabbing what you can from the shelves?

As you may already know, we’ve taken the stress out of festive shopping with our Christmas gifts page, a selection of hotel, restaurant, beauty and activity gifts, all with brilliant offers and discounts.

In the run up to Christmas, we’ll be profiling a 5pm staff member each week who has a different Christmas shopping philosophy, whether it’s super organised, fashionably late, or totally last minute. Our staff member will be taking a look at the Christmas gifts page and selecting what presents they will be choosing for their family and friends.

For our first profile our customer care adviser Kimberley Watson has told us what she has her eye on from our Christmas gifts page.Yes, Kimberley is so organised she buys her presents six weeks in advance. Here’s what she has chosen:

£10 for Shellac file and paint on hands or toes from Partick-U-Lar Cutz.

Kimberley says: “I’m going to buy this for my sister. She’s just got engaged so a Shellac manicure is a great gift for her – it will help her show off her ring at new year! At only £10 I might get one for myself.”

£99 instead of up to £198 per couple for a dinner, bed & breakfast break at the 4* Lodge on Loch Lomond Hotel.

Kimberley says: “My parents love overnight stays and this one is ideal. Friends and family have only good things to say about Lodge on Loch Lomond, and with dinner and breakfast included its a really great gift that I know they will appreciate.

£22.95 per couple for a two course meal including a glass of bubbly at tempus @ Grand Central Hotel.

“My friends and I always go for dinner and drinks around Christmas time and with 2 courses and some fizz this would be an excellent way to start the night. Tempus is a lovely venue with a Champagne bar upstairs for after diner drinks. Perfect for a Christmas catch up.”
