By Special invitation - Shopping for Christmas presents doesn't have to involve a last-minute dash around the stores before they close on Christmas Eve. You could take your time soaking up all the unusual gift ideas at Alfies Antique Market and have Christmas wrapped up in one night at its exclusive after-hours shopping party on Thursday 29 November, 5pm - 9pm. At Church Street in London's Marylebone, it has four floors of furniture, vintage fashion and accessories, ceramics, art and more to tempt you into giving something extra special this year. Call 020 7723 6066 for an invitation to a great night of shopping, drinks, nibbles and festive music.
