In Stock but not Listed on our Website

With the snow falling all around the UK, it is hard for you to get to the shops. Let us step in to help with the Christmas presents for the children and godchildren, whilst you get on with digging your cars out of the snow to get to work.

We stocked up on an enormous amount of wooden toys and affordable gifts for the Christmas fairs, so we have a few items remaining which are immediately available but not listed on our website.

They are:

Frog and Cow Skipping Ropes £4.50

Aeroplane Bookends £18

Animal Umbrellas £9

Dinosaur Pushalongs £7.95

Wooden Bead Jewellery Boxes £11

Tin Tea Set £16

Prices exclude post and gift wrap.

Postage costs can be kept low if you instruct us to wrap, pack and send from this end direct to the recipient. All you need to do is pick up the phone and call us (01748 810450 / 07789 000504) or email post@littlepresentcompany.co.uk for details.

Christmas Countdown

21 Christmas shopping days to go....

If you are after any items personalising or made to order, please try and let us know within the next week to 10 days. It is mayhem for the artists and seamstresses at the moment, so the more notice they have, the calmer the commission and the happier the vibe. All in the spirit of Christmas, let's sing a snow song "I hear those sleigh bells ringing, ding dinga dinging..."

We have a basket load of wooden reindeer tree decorations available and reduced to 60p each, or a 'set' of 4 for £2.20.

The replacement stock has arrived so we are fit to burst again for wooden toys and nightwear, so just contact us with your requirements. We offer a gift-wrap and card service too, if you are unable to get to the shops in this terrible weather.

Christmas Cheer

With the snow falling heavily all around us, we can be forgiven for being more festive than a Christmas pudding. We should also be forgiven for eating more than our own bodyweight in carbs and sweet treats. It's the cold, it just forces me into the biscuit jar.

The sweetest treat we have had this week has been a flurry of sales of our one-off items. Our Horn Bon Bon dish, Wooden Sink, hand carved Child's Foot Stools and Child's windsor chairs have all sold and gone to good homes.

The new year will bring with it a range of new products and a brand new-look website, so watch this space. We would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support over this past year, and here's to another successful and busy 2011.

With all love from

Dick Willis - Children's Stools

Our friendly local genius, Dick Willis, has given us four gorgeous stools to sell. Each one has been whittled and carved locally in Bedale with a skill perfected over the years. Each stool stands approx 21cm tall, is 30cm x 20cm on the top and has 4 sturdy legs.

Each of the four stools we have in stock have an image etched on (with a burning rod - very clever): a Highland Cow, a Swaledale Sheep, a harnessed Horse and a Monarch Stag.

They are tall enough for little children to sit on, and small enough for grown ups to use as foot stools. Clever, versatile and affordable at only £20.

Good honest design here at the Little Present Company.

Dick Willis Give-Away!

Following our blog on earlier in the year, we are having another Dick Willis hand-whittled splurge. His gorgeous distressed-finish Windsor style settle is reduced from £195 to £150 (gasp!), and his small Oak and Elm Windsor style chairs are reduced from £105 to £75 (double gasp!). He has created a new range of chair and 3 Legged Cottage Stools. We have lots of these lovely items in stock here, so either drop in to see them for yourself, or we can send photographs. Either way, they are a steal at such great prices....Form an orderly queue.

With lots of love

Silver

We are re-designing our website over the coming weeks, and we have decided to put our Silverware department to bed temporarily. Sadly, the price of silver has risen dramatically so we can no longer justify the increased costs as they are passed directly onto our customers. We are, however, holding a few items in stock which we are going to sell at reduced prices... so, if anyone is after a handsome piece for that special occasion, you know where to come.

Bon Bon dish, Horn Baby Feeder spoon and Antique Silver Toast Rack are stunning and ready to go for £50 each. (original prices £78.95, £54.95 and £59.95 respectively).
