More new Christmas decorations

I’m so excited for this next delivery. I’ve been hoping these would be in stock for delivery for a long time, and now they are finally on their way.

Trains are very popular as Christmas decorations. We have our lovely box set of four wooden trains, but this is much more impactful! I’m trying to think of a way I can keep one, but I’m not sure we have the space!

I adore rocking horses and this one really signifies the magic of Christmas. Going back a few years everyone wanted a rocking horse. The addition of a mini tree and Teddy along with the jingle bells around its saddle shout Christmas to me. It’s stunning.

We still have plenty of our musical wind up merry go rounds in stock. This is the red version with Santa in his sleigh but we also have a cream design with traditional horses featuring festive characters. Which would you choose?

I hope you are having a stress free run up to Christmas, not many weeks left now! Who else is getting excited?

Christmas has landed – part 1

The first of our Christmas stock deliveries has landed.  It arrived on Wednesday in two big boxes, and my daughter and I unpacked, checked for breakages and priced everything up ready for our first market.

These cute wooden trains are perfect for your Christmas tree – who doesn’t love a train?  They won’t get easily broken either should you have paws or little fingers in your family.

The new range has already launched online, so if you want something snap it up now as we have very limited stock – while I will try to re-order there is no guarantee so please don’t miss out on something you’ve set your heart on.

My personal favourites are these carousel/spinning musical ornaments.  With a range of designs available from Santas sleigh to a traditional carousel, they are sure to fly out.  I’m hoping we can get more but can’t guarantee it, which will be a shame as I would quite like one myself!

We should have more stock arriving over the coming weeks, which is very exciting.  I can’t wait to show you more!

New delivery option and our last event for 2023

I must say, so far I’m really impressed with how Royal Mail are handling the seasonal increase in workload.  I know they work their socks off at this time of year, and there has been no obvious delays in orders being received.  Despite that, I have added a new 24 hour delivery option.  This means that all orders received before 8pm Sunday to Friday will be collected next day, and should arrive 24 hours later (Friday orders should arrive Monday).  If you need to guarantee your order will arrive this 24 hour delivery option might be for you.

I’ve also been busy with our stationery website, adding the craft kits we have available.  I did consider adding these festive ones to this business but with limited stock available it didn’t make sense.  If you would like to know more visit https://www.cariscards.co.uk to shop the range.

We are almost at our last Christmas fair of 2023.  Back at the fabulous Bowes Museum, you will find us outside as usual with our 20% off sale on all our Christmas decorations.  If you can’t visit Bowes, then we will have the 20% off sale online over the weekend – but why wait?  You can shop today and save 20% on all our Christmas decor today!

The forecast is looking good for the weekend, here’s hoping we can finish 2023 in style!  Say hello if you decide to visit.

Wooden train scenes and glass baubles

Three Christmas Markets in and we have some clear best sellers.  In fact, the wooden train scenes have been so popular that we have ordered more and they are arriving soon.  They are back on the website so you can grab yours now and we will send them as soon as we can.

The range of glass baubles are selling well too so we have ordered more, including some new designs, I hope you like them.  The new drop style I think are lovely so I’m hoping our customers love them too.

We always listen to feedback and we recently had a request for a dinosaur bauble – what do you think?  If they will sell we will do our best to buy some.

Two more Christmas fairs next weekend, both first time events for us, so no idea how busy they will be.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
