This year’s winner of the festive shop window design has been revealed. 

Puzzle Boutique, located on St Peter's Street, won The Saints Christmas Window Competition. 

This local business award was created by The Saints group last year in a bid to make the area look as festive as possible. 

The Mayor of Ipswich, Lynne Mortimer, who was the competition's juror, said that Ipswich businesses made her job very tough this year.

“There were so many fantastic displays to choose from, which made my job very tough, however I felt Puzzle Boutique was a worthy winner with its festive, snowy winter scene.” 

Puzzle Boutique, which offers a range of Scandinavian clothing and homeware, opened at the end of August.
