We asked people where's the best place to buy a Christmas gift in Sheffield.

Transcript

00:00 Where do you think is a good shop in the city centre for people to buy gifts?

00:04 I think Sheffield Makers Market is good for people to buy gifts.

00:08 They've got loads of cool artwork and a lot of cool cards, trinkets and stuff like that.

00:14 And it's all, well I think a lot of it is from independent makers, so that's quite cool.

00:19 Remind me where that is again?

00:21 It's in the Winter Gardens, so there's some cafes and stuff that you can take to anywhere in the corner.

00:25 Where's a good shop in the city centre to buy gifts?

00:29 It depends whether you want Sheffield related product.

00:33 There's lots of great shops actually, lots of really good independents, especially up and down here.

00:38 Obviously we've got great stuff at the alternative store, but next door you've got some great giftware.

00:43 Just up the road you've got Within Reason, so just in this area, it's fantastic.

00:48 In Sheffield city centre?

00:50 Yeah.

00:51 Well we've just been in Tadkinson's and they've always got nice things in.

00:57 We don't particularly shop in Sheffield that much really.

01:00 No, we don't because we are from Rotherham.

01:02 And we live quite near Meadowall, so the trouble is out of town shopping areas it's free parking.

01:09 My daughter-in-law came the other week and they went to the Lyceum to watch something

01:13 and it cost them £23 to park in any single piece car park.

01:16 That was just for an evening from 7 o'clock while about 10 o'clock.

01:20 So, council's the only worst enemy really with parking and restricting parking.

01:26 And I think a lot of people tend to go out to town shopping, don't they?

01:29 Yeah.

01:30 But I think when it's all done, I mean it's a mess at the moment, but I think it'll be good

01:34 if they manage to get everybody to take their shops because there's a lot of empty shops, isn't there?

01:40 Yeah, there is. Hopefully, yeah, when the bikes are all foggy they'll get a tension up.
