Christmas is a time for giving, and as well as giving to those you love, you can support small and independent local shops and services this winter.
These are some of the best small and independent shops in Newcastle where you can pick up some last minute stocking fillers for friends and family this festive season.

7. Flea Circus
Don't let the tatty exterior fool you, Flea Circus is one of the best vintage stores in the North East and sells everything from home decorations to clothes and old technology. It is worth making the trip to the Warwick Street shop just to see what they have on sale! Photo: Google
