Nominate your best Wanstead-bought present
There’s still time to nominate items for the Wanstead Gift List 2012, our annual compilation of great Christmas presents which can be bought from Wanstead shops.
One reader, believed to be the wife of a prominent commentator on Wanstead property matters, nominated the following item: “Small leather clutch bag/purse with contrast leather bow. £20 from The Orange Tree – I particularly like the charcoal with mat gold bow (big hint here to husband…)”. Others have suggested items from Oxfam and the Larder.
Because of a complete technical ballsup problems we had last week, we have extended the nomination period until the end of Friday this week. Please submit your suggestions using the form below.

Christmas tree bonanza
No shortage of Wanstead shops selling Christmas trees, so plenty of opportunity to do the decent thing. Particularly interesting is the glimpse afforded of the new premises for the pet shop, Heads and Tails. It is due to move next door after Christmas and will then be able to stock general household, DIY and gardening goods as well as pets’ stuff. This is clearly A Good Thing. Andrews is dead, long live Andrews.
