The main difference us with presents this Christmas is to do with the environment. we are trying to avoid buying or receiving anything made of plastic and we are trying to get secondhand presents for everyone. It's more of a challenge than you would expect.
Obviously running a secondhand bookshop makes things easier, but plastic - so much fabric is mostly plastic. Fortunately chocolate doesn't contain plastic and has been exempted from the secondhand rule.
