John Lewis, South John Street

Whether you’re purchasing gifts for a gadget-savvy friend or hard-to-buy-for relative, John Lewis has some great electronics in store.

John Lewis’ own range offers high quality, affordable products that are perfect for giving and receiving. We love this cute, functional and fun Spectrum DAB/FM radio (£34.95), available in 6 colours. With a mains and battery power supply, it’s perfect for on the go or pride of place at home. A handy headphone socket also means you can listen to all the Christmas songs you like…without anyone knowing!

MAWI is leading the way in the luxury jewellery market and continues to impress with its timeless, coveted pieces.
