Xmas shopping

Yesterday I was looking around Stuttgart Xmas market, museum shops and lots of other shops and malls downtown again to find some presents for friends and family. It didn't quite work so far, so I will have another look today, Manufactum store and the Piccadilly english shop in the center should have some nice gifts.
My father would love one of those oldfashioned fur thingies you can hang around your neck and put your freezing hands inside, like this one here. Muff in german. They are the fashion again this year, too. Not for men, but still.
Anna wants a coffee machine, De Longhi. Prizes varied from 280 to 600 Euro during the last weeks. We should have bought one when it was cheapest. Now we're waiting for the prizes to drop again, after Xmas, and hopefully before Januaray 1st, when the tax will be higher. 16 % so far, then 19. Take it from the poor, not the rich, our government seems to think.
And I will get a coffee machine as well, but a simple spanish style one - Carmencita - , which you put onto the stove. I like those best. Nice coffee! :)
