Durham Shopping Extravaganza - which runs for a second day today - features numerous Christmas present ideas, some of which are displayed above by the event chairwoman Caroline Broadfoot.

Staged at the Ramside Hall Hotel, Carrville, near Durham, all proceeds will go to charities working in and around County Durham, particularly Children North-East, Macmillan Cancer Relief's county-wide appeal and St Cuthbert's Hospice, Durham. The event runs from 10am to 4pm. Admission is £3 and there is free parking. Picture: BRIAN CLOUGH
