Have you managed to get all of your Christmas shopping done yet?

While there will be some people who can proudly answer yes to that question, plenty of others aren’t so lucky.

Thankfully, for those who find themselves on the last minutes as always, one Greater Manchester craft beer and spirit store has got you covered this year – with delivery slots available in time for the big day, and even some great deals to make the most of too.

In case you missed it, online drinks delivery service Beerhunter – which is based in Bury, and is made up of a team of experts who pride themselves on bringing customers a wide range of beers to enjoy from the comfort of their own home – launched a new Christmas range of beer and spirit gifts last month.

The range features everything from beer advent calendars, to personalised spirit gifts by local and international favourites, and so much more.

“At Beerhunter, we make it our mission to stock the best beers and spirits from the UK and around the world creating bespoke gifts for those who enjoy a tipple of two at Christmas,” said Kieron Ainsworth – local Mancunian, and Beerhunter employee.

“As our motto goes, we want the UK to… Up Their Beer Game.”

And now, with Christmas being just over a week away, there’s only a few days left to grab some of those festive boozy gifts for the beer lovers in your life.

As well as the company’s new limited-edition ‘Boozy’ advent calendar – which is made up of a variety of gins, beers, cocktails, and other delights – Beerhunter also has a huge selection of unique and bespoke beer-filled gift sets to take your pick from.

It has to be said that the ‘Mixed Beer Cases‘, and ‘Best of British Gift Box‘ are two of the most popular choices.

But for local beer lovers though, one of the standout gift boxes has to be Manchester Breweries Craft Beer Mixed Case – which is filled with the top eight craft beers of Manchester, as well as a branded Beerhunter glass, so you can enjoy the unique taste that some of the finest local breweries have to offer.

There’s also the chance to add a festive touch to some of Beerhunter’s other popular products that aren’t part of the Christmas Gift range too, as all mixed cases and x12-packs come in one of the brilliant ‘Hoppy Christmas’ gift boxes for no extra cost.

This gift box is usually £2.95, but it’s currently free as part of Beerhunter’s last-minute offer.

With a fully-tracked delivery process from start to finish, not only is Beerhunter experts in beer gifting, but the company also offers a premium range of spirit gifts too, using a selection of popular local spirits combined with different drinking kit essentials to make the perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves a tipple.

To make each gift that extra little bit more special, there’s also the option to make the sets personalised with your choice of name or message.

Need to grab some gifts then?

The final date for orders for guaranteed Christmas Delivery is Monday 20 December, but if you’re on the very last minutes and you’re able to get down to the Beerhunter warehouse, collection is available until Wednesday 22 December.

You can get your hands on Beerhunter’s Christmas gifts and more online here.

The award-winning Manchester development offering renters up to £3.4k off – plus top amenities, a golf simulator, and more

The Manc The Manc Cortland at Colliers Yard is offering a month's free rent if you move in by 31 July

There’s a seriously exciting new neighbourhood taking shape right on the edge of Manchester city centre – and if you move fast, you could land a swanky new apartment and save thousands on rent.

This is Cortland at Colliers Yard, located just minutes from Deansgate and Spinningfields.

The impressive new rental community is dishing out some massive summer savings, including up to £2,500 off a 12-month lease or £3,420 off select three-bedroom apartments, if you move in before 31 July.

And residents at this new neighbourhood are promised a lifestyle that’s more akin to a private members’ club than a standard city apartment block.

For residents, that means terraces with skyline views; 25,000 sq ft of amenity space (yes, that does make it one of the biggest in the UK); and co-working lounges, boardrooms, private dining rooms and a Club Lounge – to name just a few. 

There’s also a fitness centre that rivals actual gyms, kitted out with squat racks, ski ergs, full calisthenics rigs, a pilates and yoga studio, a spin room – you name it, you can work out in it. 

Then there’s the games room, where you can play pool or shuffleboard, take on retro arcade games, or practice your swing in a golf simulator room. 

Residents also benefit from a 24/7 concierge and an onsite maintenance team, so whether you need a parcel collected or something fixed, there’s always someone there.

And it’s not just the facilities turning heads – Cortland recently won the 2025 Kingsley Excellence Award for Resident Satisfaction, so you know you’re getting more than just good looks.

The apartments at Cortland by Colliers Yard themselves are design-led and absolutely gorgeous, packed with natural light and high-spec finishes. AND they’re even pet-friendly, so your four-legged mate is welcome too. 

In total, there are 559 new apartments, penthouses and exclusive townhouses to choose from of varying sizes, including one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplex penthouses, and two and three-bedroom high-level apartments.

And it’s in a prime location. Cortland sits in the heart of Colliers Yard, a growing community on the Manchester/Salford border with half-acre public park (Greengate Park) and a line-up of food and drink spots. 

First up: Kallos, a Greek-inspired all-day restaurant with wine and flatbreads. 

With the city expanding ever upwards and outwards, developments like Cortland at Colliers Yard are keeping residents and locals at the forefront, building vital new green spaces and factoring in space for local businesses too. 

If you’re looking for more than just a place to live – something with real lifestyle built in – this could be the move.

Move in by 31 July to get up to one month’s rent free. Find out more HERE.

adidas and Oasis launch exclusive 90s-inspired collection with new Manchester store

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson adidas and Oasis launch exclusive 90s-inspired collection with new Manchester store

Rock ‘n’ roll giants Oasis have officially partnered with adidas to launch an exclusive Oasis Live ‘25 collection as part of a new Original Forever campaign.

The legendary Manchester band and the pioneering sportswear brand have dropped a full collection of 90s-inspired adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 apparel. 

The 26-piece collection lands just in time for the massive Oasis reunion shows this summer, which includes five homecoming gigs at Heaton Park.

And it’s launching in Manchester in a big way – with a brand-new adidas store that will host the exclusive Oasis collaboration collection. 

The new adidas store is set to open on Thursday 3 July on Market Street, in the heart of Manchester’s busiest shopping district, and will have a packed programme of events to celebrate the city that shaped this iconic band. 

Those events include a free after-hours opening party (you can sign up for the exclusive event through Eventbrite HERE), with free food and beer, plus a tote bag full of limited edition gifts for the first 150 in the queue – first come, first served. 

Bada Bing will be in store serving up a specially curated menu of signature sandwiches, alongside beers from local craft brewery Track Brewing.

Manc icons Mani from the Stone Roses and DJ Paulette will be DJing the event, along with giveaways, raffles, gifts with purchase, and a free photobooth. 

The opening party is set to be a celebration of adidas within the city, of Oasis’s return to Manchester, and the city’s loud and proud legacy. 

Later in the month, on Thursday 10 July, there’ll be a live podcast recording in-store – The Band With The 3 Stripes Podcast with The Face will take fans behind the scenes of Oasis, with photographer Lawrence Watson who’s known for capturing iconic images of the band’s raw energy and style. 

His work with the band over the years helped to define the visual identity of the era and adidas’s influence on British youth culture. 

The event will include complimentary drinks throughout the evening, with a personally signed A6 postcard print by Lawrence Watson as a gift with purchase if attendees purchase any one item from the range.

Between 18 and 21 July, from 10am to 6pm, adidas will collaborate with Vinyl Exchange on a record store takeover, featuring listening stations and a free branded slip mat with any purchase from the collection. 

Exclusive to the adidas x Vinyl Exchange pop-up, select records will also be available at a set price for the special event.

Back to that collaboration though – Oasis and adidas have announced their official partnership to celebrate 30 years of shared history and culture-defining style. 

The Original Forever campaign film shows euphoric crowd-surfers as they journey through each historic era that Oasis has touched, including iconic moments like Knebworth, Wembley and Rio – set to the soundtrack of Live Forever.

The adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 apparel collection consists of looks from the 90s that have been reimagined for modern day, with quintessentially British style. 

At their heyday, Oasis were deeply entrenched in UK terrace culture and lifelong football fans, leading to this new football-casual collection of Firebird tracksuits (Noel’s favourite), raglan sleeve jerseys, coach jackets and bucket hats. 

Chris Walsh, VP Brand at adidas, said: “adidas and Oasis share a story defined by originality and cultural impact, with roots that run deep and  have long been entwined in the fabric of music and style. 

“This official partnership represents more than  just two icons coming together; it reignites a timeless piece of cultural music history. 

“‘Original Forever’ continues to build on adidas’ lasting legacy in music and celebrates the powerful role music and style  play in shaping culture across generations,”

The adidas Originals x Oasis Live ‘25 collection is available now within adidas retail stores including the brand-new adidas store in Manchester, and adidas.co.uk.

The new adidas Manchester store opens on Market Street on Thursday 3 July, with the exclusive Oasis collection in store.
