NewS… gift blogs and lots moregift blog

We like to Blog on all things Alternative... it could be a gift blog telling you about new products that have arrived that will help you decide on what gift you could buy for that special someone... or a gift ideas blog showing you a cross  section of products on the website either for someone else or yourself ... the best gifts are the ones you buy yourself !!! We also like to blog on things happening here in Keswick, The Lake District.

Here at Alternative, we pride ourselves on taking the hard work out of present buying, we put in the hours to source the best gifts, for her or him, children, weddings, the home, or all special occasions. The selection is here on our website, or in our store in Keswick... you just need to take your time choosing which product you think is best for the person you are choosing for. Online can be done in your pyjamas on the sofa, or if you're spending time here in Keswick come and browse, listen to the music, and enjoy the ambiance.... then go for a cuppa or a glass of wine in one of the many great places here in town!
