Are you a “Ho Ho” or a “Bah Humbug” ?? Well to be honest it don’t really matter, cos it is coming up for Christmas and like it or not you need to go and do a bit of Christmas shopping. Why? Because Her indoors and the kids are expecting you to. So what’s the plan?? You don’t want to get your ear bent or be wearing your christmas dinner, or heaven forbid be barred from handling the TV remote on the big day, so best you pop to the shops……..hang on a minuite though……..

Let me help you out here, We had this megga brill idea, goodness knows why, but We feel a bit compassionate to you guys, you only want a bit of peace and quiet after all. So We decided to invite you all over to our place, that is The Wishing Tree in Long Stratton, Norfolk, for a bit of a christmas bash. Hopefully you have already clicked that link and looked at the website, if not do it now!! It’s our party and we’re makin the rules.

Thanx to all the Ladies

Hi all,
Just a note to say thanx to all of you who came to our Wishing Tree Ladies Cristmas Shopping Night. We had a great evening with lots of chocolates, to get us in the mood for the season of much eating. We woke up this morning to a covering of snow too, so now it is officially "the season to be Jolly". Watch out for announcments of our other special feature nights, we have a Childrens after school shopping night on Tuesday
2nd December, and we will stay open until 8pm on that evening, so you can come in straight after school or come later after tea if you prefer. We are handing out pop and sweeties for the kids and have lots of affordable pocket money gifts for kids to buy for their family friends and teachers. Much more fun than trailing round the busy city shops. Tell all yur friends and make it a date.
Also on the 11th December we will have our Blokes christmas shopping night, with beer and crisps etc. So no excuses for the perfect present this year, we are offering a free gift wrapping servie with this one. Has to be a date for the diary. So Ladies, get your men organised and point them in our direction, we will do the rest, and make your christmas wishes come true.
So, thanx again for the great turn out last night,
See you all soon
Love and Light

SHOPPING - NIGHTMARE OR NOT????

I've just returned from a trip to Tesco's, and while eating my lunch had a few thoughts, which i will share.

Thank the Lord that my children are all at school now and I didn't have the dubious pleasure of taking them to the supermarket with me! My heart went out to all the poor mums in there with the little ones in the trolley seat, grabbing stuff off the shelves and filling the already overloaded barrow with attractively wrapped junk. Aren't the manufacturers utterly brilliant at disguising complete rubbish as every child's dream, and don't you just know that once home it'll more likely be in the bin before bedtime. Those advertising folk have alot to answer for.....

Being a child-free shopper today I'm glad to say I avoided this expensive wastefulness at a time when we can all least afford it. The credit crunch is hitting so many of us, but the children (rightly) have little understaniing of the problems their parents may be facing. With Christmas well on the way now (only 12 weeks to go!) the reality of doing Christmas on a tight budget is hitting us all.

At our shop we're reacting to the current financial situation by trying to stock products that offer true value for money, yet still retaining that 'quirky and unusual' feel that we are so well known for. By shopping at The Wishing Tree in Long Stratton you can be sure that the recipient will be delighted, and probably dying to know where you got it from! Such a change from the bland feel of so many of the high street stores. You also have the peace of mind that we offer a no-quibble exchange policy on everything except earrings. Gift Vouchers are now available too for the truly awkward to buy for!!

By starting your shopping now, it spreads the load and gives you the pleasure of finding the right present without the expense of last minute panic buying. It also gives a wonderful sense of smug satisfaction............!

Whilst in Tesco's this morning I picked up a few Christmas stocking fillers which I will be squirelling away when I get home. If you are thinking of doing the same thing and getting ahead this year we have some very affordable little items just waiting for you.

So, a few ideas for under a fiver...........

Chocolate scented bunny keyring or belt fob for just £1.99,

Ceramic fairies any little girl will adore at £3.25,

Dreamcatchers starting at just £1.50, all sorts of hearts from £1.25,

VIVA Beads Earrings at £4.99,

CatsEye London purses at £4.25, and a wonderful array of crystals from 30p each which come in their own drawstring bag.

So come along to the shop, or visit our stall at one of the many events we will be attending, check it all out online at our website, or book a wishing tree party, where we can bring it all to you. For details of all the ways we can make your wishes come true look at the website, or give us a call on 01508 536008 or email me iwish@thewishingtree.biz

Make this christmas the best one ever

Love and Light

Olivia
