Everyone’s talking about Black Friday, but here at Swinton Square we’re supporting local businesses and the “Just a Card Indie Week”, encouraging people to support independent shops and small businesses this Christmas.

So, whether you’re shopping for your other half, the in laws, children or friends, Swinton Square is the place to be!

First up, Christmas cards – pop into Heather’s Cards for a great selection, from funny to traditional cards, find something that’ll bring out the festive spirit! If you want to go all out, purchase some balloons from Card Factory or pick up some extra ribbon to make your gifts look extra special.

For the lady in your life, pick up a voucher for Hair Razors, meaning she can get a cut and blow-dry for a fraction of the price! You could also pay to get her nails and eyebrows done – the ultimate treat for a beauty addict. Don’t forget to stop by Peacocks and Stylo Online to find that one perfect fashion piece too.

And who doesn’t love something sparkly? We all know a jewellery magpie, so why not pick up a special piece at Unique Jewellery and Beauty.

If you’re shopping for someone who has a sweet tooth, or someone who likes to add cheese to everything, grab a tasty treat from Greenhalgh’s or Martins Craft Bakery. Greenhalgh’s have been baking delicious goods for over 60 years, serving everything from celebration cakes to bread and cream cakes – we’re particularly partial to the mince pies!

Glenn’s Cushions and Pillows has a luxurious range, perfect for adding a dash of colour to your home.

And don’t forget your four legged friends, pop into Swinton Pet Supplies to stock up on festive treats or a new toy.

Happy shopping from everyone here at Swinton Square.
