The Skinny's 2018 Christmas Gift Guide

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and the ideal time to give your friends, family and loved ones a special little treat. And if you want said treats to be extra-special, you could do a lot worse than selecting something from our 2018 Gift Guide. We've been in touch with a host of our favourite designers and producers from across Scotland to pull together a list of colourful, exciting and interesting products for your pals to look at, sniff, wear, eat and skate around on.

Scroll on to take a look at this year's guide, photographed by our own Sarah Donley; our thanks as always to the retailers, designers and stockists who helped make this guide happen.
