Christmas posting dates for 2011
Royal Mail say that their last date for pick up
in time to deliver parcels in the UK in time for Christmas will
be Tuesday 20th December. This means our cut-off for receiving
orders will be Monday 19th December 2011, please ensure that
you've placed your orders by the end of Monday 19th so that
we have time to process them and get them packed for collection
by Royal Mail on Tuesday. Obviously, we cannot guarantee delivery
by Christmas but we will do our best.

The original Swedish design of Angel Chimes are back again and
this really popular range of Christmas ornamental decorations
has been enhanced by the addition of the new carousel sets.
Whether you prefer the original classic chimes, or the newer
carousels, they're gorgeous and make great Christmas decorations
and they're great to give as a gift. If you've never seen these
great decorations before, they're powered by the heat from the
candles and the rising warm air makes them spin slowly, with
a steady ding-ding-ding from the chimes; the carousels are quieter
but equally attractive. Available in Brass or silver coloured
nickel, and we have spare candles and tea lights as well. Our
full collection of angel chimes and carousels can be seen by
