The Holidays are Coming!
As you probably already know the holidays are coming;
Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are right around the corner. I know I usually
put out a holiday line but really I couldn’t think of anything new. I still
have some stock from the previous two years so check out the Showcase and
see what’s there. I am working on one design for this year but I am still
trying to perfect it.
But I had an idea the other night. I love wrapping presents!
When I was growing up stores used to offer gift wrapping services, sometimes
for free. You rarely see that nowadays, but I had the thought that since I love
wrapping presents I can offer gift wrapping services for orders around the
holiday.
The wrapping service will include; a gift box, wrapping, bow
and ribbon and a gift tag. So you can place you order with me and relax knowing
that the details will be taken care of. Your order(s) will be sent to the recipient (or yourself) in time for the big day. Of course your order must be placed
within reasonable time to allow your present to be sent through the mail. December
15th for UK orders and December 1st for the US (I have
not had good experiences with shipping things to the US during the holiday
season therefore I like to leave a month to be sure the items will be received –
I have had things take a month to get to their recipient).
As for pricing, £3.00 for UK and $5.50 for US shipping. I
wish I could offer free wrapping but I will need to cover the cost to ship the
items. The shipping cost will be more expensive since they will be wrapped in
gift boxes making the items heavier and bulkier. And as you know I don’t really
charge for shipping.
Here are samples of the paper, ribbon, bows and tags I have
available
