CHRISTMAS is around the corner, and buying presents for loved ones can be a real chore, so to help here is a list of six present ideas any Sintellener will love.

St Helens Star:

Saints stuff

Yes our team is the love of this town and young or old, you can't help but feel part of something special when you don your Saints shirt, lots is on offer as well for Christmas.

St Helens Star:

Theatre Royal Tickets

Whether it be a panto, tribute act, comedian show or ballet performance, there is definitely something for everyone at our Theatre Royal.

St Helens Star:

Clothes, bags and jewellery at our amazing shops

Independent shops such as OD's and Ellamora have a host of top end clothing and accessories available for the fashionable men and women in your life. But if it's sportswear you want why not go to Made to Run for all your running lovers needs, plus what's better than support local businesses.

St Helens Star:

St Helens books

Ok so all books aren't to everyone's taste but a good Sintellener would definitely like either Secret St Helens by Sue Gerrard available to buy at Momo's or St Helens The Great & the Good: (And a Few of the Not so Good) by Brian Leyland available at Saints.

St Helens Star:

Buy them a local pint

Yes, yes we love nipping down the pub, but sometimes it's nice to settle down with a good pint in your own home. Why not visit Connoisseur Ales or Cathop for beers from St Helens and close to home.

St Helens Star:

Gift them Afternoon Tea

Sometimes the best gift is time out with a loved one, why not buy a gift card or book an afternoon tea at one of our amazing cafe's and eateries in the borough such as Toast, Bocboc or Phoenix Plant Based Eatery.

St Helens Star:

...and don't forget about Little Mix tickets

If those options don't fit the bill, then don't forget that we have Little Mix performing at Saints this June as the first major act coming to the venue.

Tickets are still available via ticketmaster.co.uk/event/35005777998A13D4
