Our Story
About Us
Over 30 years ago we started in the greeting card and stationary business. We began selling wrapping paper, gift bags, Christmas cards and much more. Throughout the years we have been based in various locations, mainly in the Southeast of England. We soon realised that this type of business had the potential to grow, and we could open shops in many towns and shopping centres all over the
country.
Over the last 15 years we have opened two or three seasonal shops a year. The shops have mainly been Christmas oriented, where our best products include, Christmas trees, other decorations and toys.
However, we have also opened summer shops in the past, where amongst other items, we sell outdoor furniture and gifts. Soon we will be looking to open more of these and take the business online, which gives our customers the opportunity to buy an extensive variety of products in one place.
Our shops vary in size from 2,000 square feet to approximately 10.000, which we find is a nice size to display all our items appropriately. This also allows the public to walk around the shop and browse our merchandise without it feeling overcrowded.
Our Plans
In the future we plan to open more seasonal shops and full-time shops where we will sell many everyday items like cards, balloons and more, at great quality and good value prices. We will also sell gifts for those special days and events like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Easter. If we manage to get a good-sized premise, we will do a fantastic range of summer gifts and a great selection of barbecues and outdoor furniture. In October we will transform a big part of these shops into Christmas stores.
We also plan on getting another website up and running where we will sell thousands of Christmas products and lines throughout the year. These products will be posted all around the world. We will also use Amazon, eBay, and many other selling sites to advertise and sell our products.
