Stumped for presents? Then read our last-minute guide to bargain gift ideas

Cascades Centre manager Andrew Philip said: ‘Getting the perfect gift for that special someone, family member or even a colleague can be tricky – especially as we get ever-closer to Christmas.

‘That’s why we’ve been running our Giftspiration campaign to give shoppers a helping hand in their search.’

Up until Christmas Eve, two festive elves will be on hand for shoppers stuck for ideas as part of the Giftspiration campaign.

Andrew added: ‘The campaign has gone down a treat with visitors to the centre and it’s important for us to be able to support both our customers and retailers at such an important time of year.’
