CHRISTMAS WISHES FOR 2008

Wishing all our customers a very Merry Christmas 2008 and a Happy New Year

As we are well known for our Giraffes, of all shapes and sizes I thought you may appreciate a giraffe greeting.
It has been a pleasure this year, welcoming so many new customers through the doors of The Wishing Tree in Long Stratton, Norfolk. Also, as we have developed the website it has been great to make wishes come true for so many customers from further afield, watch out for more improvements on our website in the new year. We hope everyone has enjoyed visiting us, as much as we have enjoyed creating the displays of wonderful things in the shop. We like to think we make your visits fun and interesting. In the new year we are going to give the shop a bit of a make-over, so keep coming in to see how it's all going. New and exiting stock to see as well as a few more of our theme nights and party nights for you too. We have hosted some great parties in the shop this year and hostesses have enjoyed spending their comission on lots of yummy goodies.
So that just leaves me the pleasure of thanking you all for supporting us and we hope to see you all in the new year for the January Sale which starts on Friday
2nd January.

Merry Christmas once again
Love and Light
Olivia and Helen

Why do men hate christmas shopping ??

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.

Now you know what kind of pressies we can sort for you, let me tell you the best bit, we’re gonna throw in a glass of beer, a few crisps and nuts if ya like too, and best of all, we will wrap the perfect gift for you, having helped you choose it of course, cos thats the bit you most need help with, am I right? And also if we helped, you can blame us. What more can we offer??

So are ya comin then?? All you need to know is the time and date, so pay attention……..

If you are reading this and don’t live near enough to come along but want to buy online, then all the above apply, accept the refreshments. We will mail your choice of gift already wrapped and beautiful for christmas morning, all you need to do then is pucker up ready for the big ThankYou kiss.

You can also give your partner a Wish List to complete, so she can make her own choices, that takes away all the responsibility.

Childrens after school shopping night

THE WISHING TREE in LONG STRATTON is having a CHILDRENS AFTER SCHOOL CHRISTMAS SHOPPING NIGHT, TUESDAY 2nd DECEMBER. WE'RE STAYING OPEN from 3pm UNTIL 8pm.

BRING THE KIDS TO GET THEIR POCKET MONEY PRESSIES FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND TEACHERS,FREE SNACKS AND JUICE TOO. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE !!!!!!!

Sharing the Norfolk Snow

Thought i would share the seasonal Norfolk snow with you all. As i have many visitors and friends in far off places, I thought some seasonal weather would be good. The Wishing Tree has been quiet today, and i think many people have braved the elemements and gone into the city to shop, I think they are now wishing they hadn't, as reports of overflowing carparks and queues at checkouts fill me with woe.
So, has anybody ever seen a pair of kissing giraffes in the snow??
these little darlings come in 2 sizes and are priced at £15 and £12 so if you know anyone who needs one of these for christmas, give me a phone 01508 536008 or visit the website for more gorgeous gifts. or e-mail for other giraffe options iwish@thewishingtree.biz
Well I'm off home in a bit before the roads get too bad, hope you all get a bit of snow soon,

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

See you there

We like a nice glass of wine

Fancy That!!! We share our name with a good wine.

The Wishing Tree 2005 Chardonnay (wine review)

This unoaked Chardonnay from Australia
is a pale straw in the glass
with a nice fruity bouquet rising into the room.
On the swirl, it is citrusy and pineappley
and in the mouth the fine acid is mouth watering
giving a solid foundation to luscious flavors
that seem short lived but then return.
The finish is lingering.

We love a good glass of wine, and more than anything we like to share a glass or 2 with our customers now and again. Yes you guessed it, another one of our delightful and fun late nite openings. This one is especially for the ladies, a night out with the girls, doing a bit of Christmas shopping, enjoying a nice glass of wine and a few chocolates. Oh and did i mention 10% Discount on all gifts and jewellery.
So put the date in your diary now and make sure you can escape from the T.V. or the ironing...... etc.
Friday 21st November from 6pm to 10pm. At The Wishing Tree, in Long Stratton.
No men/guys/chaps/...... You will get your chance to shop without your lovely ladies on a special nite in December, so watch this space for that date (have ordered the beer and crisps for that, by the way)
So ladies, lets hope you can make it, we have loads of new stock, and plenty of christmas cheer. Come along and join in the fun, we look forward to your company

Love and Light
