Shopping for good Christmas presents can be a mammoth task! But luckily the fabulous FESTIVE GIFT FAIR is returning to the NEC Birmingham from 17 - 20th November, 2011 and we have teamed up with the organisers to promote their competition to give 15 lucky readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the event.

Each year, the fabulous Festive Gift Fair gives us inspiration and thousands upon thousands of new, clever and affordable gift ideas. With 350 stalls brought together from all over the country, the variety of gifts is amazing and so there is always a surprise around every corner! No wonder, it’s considered the most popular Christmas Shopping event in the Midlands.

Get together your friends and family for a fun day out - browse, shop and enjoy the Christmassy atmosphere created by musicians and entertainers. With so many bargains to be found, drop your full bags at the Present Crèche while you continue shopping.
