Time to make some space!

If you didn’t know, we don’t have actual retail premises – it’s on the business plan.  This means we need to move the stock every year so we can have our dining room back for Christmas Day.  As the business grows, so does our stock area which is great news for our customers – SALE TIME!

From today until the 18th December we have 20% off everything online.  This means you can get our nativity or snowman nesting dolls for £20 plus postage, or a couple of sets of wooden decorations for £11.20 plus postage.

We’ve also noticed that our elves have decided to make the cut out tree decorations buy one get one free, giving you an even bigger saving on them!

Stock is very limited so don’t delay!

Christmas officially starts today!

Transport themed wooden Christmas countdown.

…well, for me anyway.

The first day of November usually heralds the start of our Christmas shop events here in the UK.  We attend markets and festive Fayres across North Yorkshire and County Durham each year, with some markets a firm fixture in the calendar.

It also brings all the online Christmas shoppers out, with our website having its busiest month of the year.  This is something we are working hard to increase but being found amongst all the other online Christmas shops is quite hard.

A friend of mine visited a large garden centre recently and made a short video of it.  I got quite envious of all the space to create lovely displays of Christmas decorations and ornaments.  It’s long been a dream of mine to have a warehouse space to turn into a Christmas experience with a shopping facility too – I describe it as a cross between IKEA and Argos!  There would be large displays where you could scan the items you want to buy, then once you had finished we would have all the items ready for you to take home.

Anyway, back to this year.  The stock is still a disorganised stack of tubs – isn’t there always something more urgent to get done?  No, I’m not putting it off, I love everything about my business, it’s just, well, life, you know?  It will be done before I’m back at my day job.

Transport themed wooden Christmas countdown. So, the countdown to Christmas has officially started.  The next few weeks will be a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
