Last min lovers & Christmas info
Well hello to you, last minute person, fancy seeing you here. Are you still in need of some gifts and bits for Christmas? Don't stress! You're not the only one, it happens every year and it's easily done. Time flies hey? Let's take you through a few of our can't-go-wrong, favourite gift ideas that can be great for all ages. We also need to catch you up with what you need to know about postage dates and opening hours over Christmas. So read on for some all-round Christmas finalities!
First things first: postage. See below for our final dates that you need to order your goodies by to receive them in time for Christmas.
Next up: opening hours. As you can see below, we will be closed from Christmas eve (Sunday 24th) until Tuesday 2nd Jan for a well-earned rest over the festive period. It's worth remembering that although our website will still be open 24/7, any orders placed from Saturday 23rd will not be processed and sent until we return on Tuesday 2nd Jan. Sorry if this is a bit of a pain, but we are an independent, small-team business, and we need chill time too!
With the formalities out of the way, let's help you with some last minute Christmas bits, shall we?
In our opinion, one of the easiest but best last minute gifts to give is a good game. It can be given to just one person, or can cover a whole family in one, which can be super handy and save having to get multiple different gifts. This one pictured below is the 'host your own game show' game, perfect for a family.
Another easy all-round gift is a candle. This may seem bland and overrated but sometimes there is something so lovely about receiving a really good quality, special candle. Take the St Eval candles for example, they're all naturally handmade in Cornwall and genuinely smell divine. You could opt for some of their tealights and team it with a tealight holder or some matches (or both) and you'll have a really sweet present ready to go.
Some other easy, crowd-pleasing gift ideas could be: the Go La La rude soaps, because their cheekiness never fail to create some laughs when opened. They're brilliant as stocking fillers, or some people use them for funny table presents.
For kids, Jellycats are always a great present. Yes, they might already have lots of cuddly toys but do they have a Christmas one? Or maybe they collect Jellycats (lots of younger people do nowadays)? Either way, a Jellycat will nearly always go down well, whether they have 200 toys or 2.
Finally, if none of these ideas seem quite right and you just feel at a bit of a loss, sometimes the best option is to give the gift of choice. If you're ordering online it will be sent via email so you don't even need to do anything really, or if you pop in store we'll sort a physical one for you that you can pop in a card.
If you do want a card to go with it, we've got plenty of Christmas cards left on our website. We've also got some gift wrap, bags and some tags left too, click here to have a browse. But remember, order today (Sun 17th) or tomorrow (Mon 18th) for regular delivery by Christmas!
Good luck and happy shopping!
