You won't be surprised to hear that slippers and socks are top of the bestseller charts for us this Christmas.

Shepherd of Sweden styles Annie and Anton have been a huge hit (and we're hoping to get more in soon) as have the Barbour men's slippers too.

Never have we sold so many pairs of socks as we have this year, there will be a lot of cosy toes this Christmas! Happy Socks always excel at Christmas because they offer quality and fun but also have a fantastic collection of Happy Socks gift boxes too, the crackers are a huge hit. Other popular choices are the Pheasant Socks from Barbour, the Thornham wool socks from Scott-Nichol, the gorgeous Fairisle Cashmere socks from Pantherella and the huge selection of colours for men and women from Falke.

Here's our very festive Happy Socks tree in our menswear department:

Boots have also been high on the wish list for many and we've sold lots of wellington boots from Barbour and Le Chameau. We've had a few more sizes delivered in the women's Iris style in Rouge from Le Chameau and we're hoping to get more in soon.

Dubarry Boots have also been very popular so there must be lots of people on the Good List this year! They really are the gift that keeps on giving because if you look after your Dubarry boots they'll be loyal to you for years!

Our number one brand this Christmas has to be Barbour. We've already talked about their slippers and wellingtons (or lack of in the case of our stock levels right now!) but their gift ranges for men, women and dogs this year has been fantastic. Here are a few of our favourites, get them before they're gone:

We must mention the ever popular Schoffel gilets. In particular the men's Schoffel Oakham gilet which as you can see from the stack below comes in a great selection of colours is proving to be a big hit yet again.

Gosh we could go on, knitwear, candles, gowns, bags the list in endless but we hope we've given you a flavour of what the top picks have been so far.
