Just off the Lanes is St Martins Square, which also has a great selection of independent shops. 

Here's our pick for a last minute, stress free shopping experience: 

1) Watch This Space Boutique, Noll Silver Walk, St Martins Square. A great little shop for that quirky gift for the hard to please young person in your life. Here you will

find cutting edge designed fashion accessories, one off fashion pieces, T-shirts, bags and a whole lot more.  

2) Just Fair Trade: For guilt free gifts for almost anyone. Items include clothing, children's toys, home accessories and chocolate, all from Fair Trade sources.

3) Niche store, Carts Lane. For the one with a baby or home lover. You'll find a gorgeous selection of gifts, homemade cards, children's toys, new baby gifts and lots more.

3)  Polly's, Silver Walk, St Martins Square. For the girly girl in your life. Beautiful unique clothing from independent women's wear labels for people with personality.

4) The Cookware shop, St Martins Walk. For the foodies in your life. This great little shop is also a coffee shop so you can rest you tired feet and pick up a great kitchen gift at the same time. 

5) Set Design, Silver Walk. For really cool gifts, cards, watches and jewellery. If you need a random gift for a workmate or something amazing for you sister, look no further.

Of course this is just a small selection of what's on offer in Leicester. Dare to venture away from the main stream shops and you will be well rewarded with a selection of shops to suit everyone's taste and budget this Christmas.
