Gift or other Personal Shopping Services ...
If you are looking for something special, whether it is something in particular, or just a gift for a special occasion or that always hard to buy for relative or friend, we can help you.
Just tell us what you want, or who you are looking to buy for and what you want to spend and we will help you to find it, provide you with a list of suggestions and places to buy them from so that you can then make your own informed decision. As with all our services, we look to identify added value and special offers to you, for example, where loyalty points can be collected.
We are also here to help out if you're looking for that special outfit for a particular occasion. Let us know what you are looking for, colours, styles, your size and the relevant occasion and we will send you some ideas of items and places to look at, to give you a place to start and some ideas of the current "must have" fashions to make your choice of outfit a much easier one.

Let us shop for you ...
We love to shop, but we know that sometimes the last thing that you want to do during your time off is queue in "Toys R Us", "Argos", "Boots", "The Disney Store" or navigate the minefield that can be Manchester City Centre on a Saturday afternoon.
If you let us have a list of gifts that you would like to buy, we are happy to go out and buy the gifts for you. The gifts can then be wrapped (see below) and you can decide whether to then collect the gifts from us or have us drop the gifts off with you, both at a time convenient to you.
We aim to complete your shopping within 3-5 days of receipt of a request. However, we can work with you to meet shorter timescales, although a small additional fee may be payable for this express service.

Gift Wrapping Services ...
We know that buying a gift is just half the job and sometimes finding time and space to wrap gifts, particularly when there are children about, can be just as much of a headache for you.
We can help you with this by wrapping the gifts that we have bought for you and/or wrapping gifts that you have already bought. We can use paper that you may have already bought or use paper from our own stocks.

Fees ...
There is no minimum spend for our personal shopping services.
Our fee is a minimum of £15 or 15% of the actual spend, whichever is the greater.
When requesting our services, we would ask that you pay for the value of your shopping, plus at least 50% of our fee. Any money that we do not spend will be returned to you once we complete your shopping. The balance of our fee will be due once we have completed your shopping and prior to it being delivered to or collected by you.
Our fee includes dropping off your shopping within an area of a 5 mile radius of Warrington Town Centre, or within Manchester City Centre. Drop off outside of these areas may incur an additional cost, but please contact us for a full quotation based on your address.
For collection and re-delivery of your own gifts for us to wrap, prices start from £7.50 for the area within a 5 mile radius of Warrington Town Centre, or within Manchester City Centre. An additional cost will be incurred for places outside of this area.
The cost per item will depend on size and whether you would like us to use your own wrapping paper, but will be based on the following (where we provide wrapping paper):
"Christmas Stocking sized" gifts - 8 for £5
Small items (up to small paperback book-sized) - £1 per item
Medium sized items (up to approximately 30cm square) - £1.50 per item
Large items (board game or large Lego-box sized) - £2 per item
The prices of extra large items can be discussed with you and we can provide you with a more comprehensive quotation when we are able to discuss your own individual needs with you. Discounts will be considered on large orders.
We will ask that you pay at least 50% of our fee before collection of your gifts for wrapping, with the balance due prior to re-delivery.
