Last posting dates:

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 12.30pm on 23rd December. However, last posting date is 21st December so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. If you need a last-minute gift or you’re not sure what to get we do have gift vouchers in the shop!

As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2026.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.

Thank you!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your support and custom this year. Your support for small businesses like ours is very much appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, we wish you all a peaceful and restful festive break and hope to be able to say thank you in person in 2026!
