Tis' the season to be jolly!
I love the chilly winter nights and glow of the Christmas lights out in the streets; however, this year my Christmas will be spent in warm winter nights and the glow of Christmas street lights as I will currently be on my grand adventure.
But if I were back home, I’d be eyeing up some of the best shopping cities to go and purchase gifts for my loved ones. So if you love venturing to new places + Christmas shopping then this post is for you.
Top 3 Christmas Shopping Cities
This was a tough call for me, from snowy Edinburgh to the vibrant souks of Marrakech, I have decided to opt for classic Christmas shopping destinations.
Shopping in London:

If you want to stay or visit the UK for your Christmas shopping gifts, then London is perfect. You can take in the shop on the famous Oxford and take in their extraordinary Christmas lights, visit Hamleys Santa’s grotto toy store or visit the vintage markets in Portobello.
Shopping in Paris:
Paris at Christmas is magical. I visited their a few years ago with my girls and as we drove down the Champs Elysees, we could see endless twinkling lights. Paris is also covered in Christmas markets where you can sample some of the finest mulled wine and cheeses. Alternatively, you can head over to Le Bon Marche for a classy shopping experience.
Shopping in New York:
I can’t wait to have a good shop in New York and I’m thankful that I won’t be here at Christmas...otherwise I may lose all my money. But from department stores such as Bloomingdales to designer boutiques, New York has the glitz, glamour and excitement of Christmas. And did I mention all the amazing Christmas activities, such as the giant ice rink at Rockefeller Centre.
