We pride ourselves on our speed of delivery, and you can place orders in our Online Shop up to and including Monday 22 December and still receive them in time for Christmas with delivery by carrier within the UK. International orders of course take a little longer and we would advise Friday 12 December as the last day.

For advice or for placing an order by telephone we have a dedicated Christmas Helpline which is manned from 9 - 5.30pm Monday to Friday and from 10 - 2.00pm on Saturdays.
