Ten of our favourite picks from the Heatons Christmas range

Yes, we know it's early but we're JUST. SO. EXCITED.

We're only just taking down the fake cobwebs and throwing out the pumpkins but plenty of us (more than those who'll admit to it, maybe) are gearing up for Christmas. Admit it - you're looking forward to fairy lights and decorations, Christmas specials on the telly and hibernating with more chocolate than you know what to do with. You're probably not looking forward to the shopping though. We don't care what anyone says - December can be hell and with lots of lovely bits already in stores now, there's no reason to wait if you can nip out now and get the first pick of all the nice stuff. Heatons has just released its Christmas gift guide and there's some fab stuff in there. We're not going to lie, half of our favourite things there are things we want for ourselves (hint, hint). Here are some of the best picks to snap up before the madness begins next month. For the kids...
