Summary
Get gift buying down to a fine art with unique, hand-made pieces that will last a lifetime Before it lands in the roasting dish your turkey has probably clocked up more airmiles than Richard Branson.

If spending power is the only powerwe feel we have, Going Out suggests that this Christmas you exercise your muscles by supporting Scottish art galleries. It's fun, good value (different from cheap: you're paying for something handmade with years of experience and labour behind it) and, long after the turkey is eaten and the computer obsolete, it will last.
