Christmas Gifts: Playing the field

To aid decision-making, Fieldhouse is arranged roughly into categories: home, kitchen, women, men, children, novelties (great stocking fillers) and toiletries, which really is just as well, as the diversity of merchandise could be overwhelming for even the seasoned shopper. Lesser-known brands such as the toiletry label, Zarvis, are stocked alongside old favourites Penhaligon's and Crabtree & Evelyn. The comforting thing about the whole arrangement is that when faced with shopper's paralysis, they are happy to assist with suggestions.
