Don’t know what to buy your nearest and dearest for Christmas?
Forget the usual yawnsome offerings and instead go on the hunt for something altogether more original, bespoke and unique.
And you don't even need to run here, there and everywhere in your search; the Handmade & Vintage Extravaganza is back this weekend, with another three-day stand at Middleton Hall at centre:mk.
If you’ve made tracks to one of these super successful shows before, you won't need us to influence your decision to return.
It’s a veritable feast of the fabulous, the weird and the wonderful, and no matter who you are buying for, you’ll find something to fit the bill.
Just because you don’t want the same run-of-the-mill products offered in the chainstores, that doesn’t mean you aren’t style conscious, and H&V has style by the bucket load!
There are expert upcyclers with some off-the-wall home deĢcor pieces, and if jewellery is your thing, you can put a ring on it...how about one fashioned from antique silverware?

Handcrafted handbags, luggage and knitted and crocheted items will all vie for attentions.
And there is so much more – Collectables, records (and players), bespoke lamp-shades and soft furnishings, handmade ladies and children’s clothing and antiques will all spill from stalls.
And with Christmas coming, it's likely that a few local alcohol producers might be along to tempt you - along with the usual cake makers. It's an all-round yummy event. Handmade & Vintage is the best rummage you’ll have had in ages, trust us!
With high standards and reasonable prices all round, the fair is fabulous on all fronts, and you don’t even have to pay for entry.
The 'must-visit' opens for business in Middleton Hall at thecentre:mk on Friday (9.30am-6pm) Saturday (9am - 6pm) and again on Sunday between 10.30am and 5pm.
Be warned though, it’s not a quick visit to take in all of the goodies, so allow plenty of time to enjoy the full thing.
