Shopping in London?

Question

My best friend is living in London, and I'm trying to see if I can order a gift card online for her birthday and have it mailed to her (using a Canadian Visa/MC, which should be fine). My problem is trying to figure out ideas of where to get her a gift card too without asking her.

She LOVES M.A.C. cosmetics, but apparently they don't sell online, which seems to be the problem with a lot of UK stores I've looked at (including H&M and Selfridges). She likes trendy clothing, but not super-expensive.

Alternatively, the M.A.C. website says Harrods sells M.A.C. makeup, but I can't seem to find any on their website. Can anyone confirm that? and if so, do they have a large selection?

Answer 1

I think that is an excellent idea and very sweet thought of you.

You could go to this website to buy a voucher, redeemable at some of the shops listed below, that all sell all kinds of stuff, including clothing and MAC make up: http://www.voucherexpress.co.uk

If your friend lives in London, she may actually prefer to go to the stores and check out the collections, instead of buying online? 9 stores in London sell MAC, the ones with an asterisk are department stores that will accept the gift voucher:

*Harvey Nichols, 109 Knightsbridge, London, SW1X 7RJ

M·A·C, 109 Kings Road, Chelsea, London, SW3 4PA

*Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London, W1X 1AB

M·A·C , 28 Fouberts Place, West Soho, London, W1F 7PR

M·A·C, Unit 4, 28a Kensington Church Street, Kensington London, W8 4EP

*House of Fraser, 68 King William Street, London, EC4N 7HR

Fenwick, Brent Cross Shopping Centre, Hendon, London, NW4 3FN

M·A·C, Unit 4, 38 Neal Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9PS

Harrods, 87-135 Brompton Road, Knightsbridge, London, SW1X 7XL

Answer 2

Yes shopping by London.
