Urban Junkies: Gift Guide
Mummy dearest, Daddy darling, brother, sister, lover and that hard-to-buy for friend we all hate; if only Christmas wasn’t the time of year for generosity. Let UJ take the sting out of gift giving with our guide to all things festive and fabulous. And if you fancy sending something to settle under our rather bereft office pine, please do so. We do, so generously, provide you with daily joy after all...
