Christmas Shopping: Moth

If you're lucky enough to be in Manchester over the next few days, make er, a beeline for Moth. This small, independent shop stocking 'beautiful and simple objects for everyday life' is one of those places that makes you want to lock the door and not let anyone else in! Paper butterfly pictures, Ercol furniture, chalky French mirrors, La Compagnie de Provence soaps, fashion by hip Dutch label Humanoid - and that's just my Christmas list. And once the presents are all wrapped up, head next door to cosy bar The Drawing Room for a glass of the sparkly stuff.

Moth, 154 Burton Road, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 llH (0161 445 9845)
