With over 220 stalls from equestrian clothing to jewellery, beauty to entertainment, Olympia’s Christmas shopping village has the right present for everyone!

For the horse-mad, there is much to visit! Head to Equiport, the one-stop shop for horse and rider. From show rugs to jackets, there are many different fabrics and colours to choose from.

Follow in the footsteps of the famous and check out John Whitaker International Ltd, catering for riders at every level. Finally, make your horse the smartest at the yard with Snuggy Hoods’ coordinating hoods and accessories.

For the lady in your life, take some inspiration from Angela Davidson Art, where you can browse original artwork and limited edition prints. Explore the beautifully hand decorated ceramic tiles on offer at Florian Tiles, which make up clocks, table mats and cheeseboards. Pashmina UK offers four sizes of pashmina so she can wrap up stylishly in the winter months and Maxwell Scott has some gorgeous handbags to choose from. On your way out, pop by Casada Health and Beauty and pick up "the maxiwell" a massage cushion which gives a well-earned body massage, perfect for her (or you!) after all the shopping!

For the modern man, make a beeline for Mini Speakers Ltd, manufacturers of a range of quality travel speaker systems for use with iPods and mobile phones. The Flying Duck Co has some fun stocking fillers, unique gifts and amazing gadgets to choose from. Show your sensitive side by checking out The Print Rescuer, who lovingly restore and frame old rescued prints from such classics as Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter and Alice in Wonderland.

Food lovers won’t be disappointed either. Experience the true and exotic flavours of the Mediterranean with olives, antipasti and continental breads from Gourmet Med. Have a chocolatey treat yourself at the infamous Sticky Fingers Chocolate Fountain and visit Rainbow Confectionary for hundreds of different sweets on offer.

Olympia recommends:
The Sock Company stock the cosiest sleep socks around. But be quick - these top sellers sold out by day three of Olympia last year. Visit the BSJA stand where you can pick up Team GB Toggi gear. Perfect for budding Olympians! And finally, make sure you visit Worldequestrian.com where Olympia’s Official merchandise will be on sale.

And before you leave Olympia, why not purchase tickets for other top equestrian events next year, including the Royal Windsor Horse Show (May 09) and the FEI European Jumping and Dressage Championships (Aug 09) which will be on sale in the foyer.
