Boring Christmas Shopping choices...?

Has anyone else noticed how 'same' and boring shopping for Christmas gifts has become?

Go to the local major Shopping centre and it's the same old stuff. K Mart, Big W, Noni B, Sussan, Katies, Kleins etc. I truly lament the loss of the old shopping strip where independent shop owners created a business and were able to stand up to the BIG Multi-Nationals.

Went to Mornington today and actually found a great little store with friendly, actually helpul, staff with such different little things to buy for that person who seems to have everything.

Thank God for independent retailers!

Who else suffers the - seen that - syndrome when looking for interesting items?

Guess I'm talking about general shopping, in Australia, in particular. I'd love to go to where you find your gifts but as most people find, it's the usual mad rush to the local Mall as they call it in America or the local shopping complex as we do in Oz
