We all know at least one person who is impossible to shop for. Whether it’s because they have very particular taste or have the latest of everything, these people are undoubtedly the hardest to cross off the Christmas shopping list.
Instead of second guessing, struggling to find a present or searching high and low only to resort to a gift voucher or money, read on for the round up of various Norwood Parade traders who stock a unique selection of items - suited for the person who has it all or the person who is picky…

100 Reasons To Panic About #Modernlife Book ($19.95)
No one can ever have too many books. Especially a ridiculously funny book like 100 Reasons To Panic About Modern Life, which spouts a few reasons like ‘you keep trying to get your cat video to go viral’, ‘a visit to your parents means you do tech support’ and ‘some of your closest #friends keep abusing #hashtags and it’s driving you #crazy.’
