Christmas sparkle, bubbles and baubles...

Preparations for Christmas are well underway at Plums Lingerie.  The date for the party is set, Thursday 3rd December. I am frantically trying to update the web with all the goodies that have now arrived and Tricia has spent most of this week tussling with a giant cracker.  I come in to the shop to find discarded sheets of wrapping paper, bits of cardboard and Tricia covered head to toe in glue and glitter looking rather pleased with her efforts.  Now I know what feels like to be a primary school teacher at Christmas, at least the 6 years olds don't have access to the combination of art supplies and gin.  I swear I heard her hiccupping!

On the other hand I have been diligently writting a submission for the Jersey Enterprise Small Business Award.  As long as the criteria for winning has something to do with having lots of fun and playing with pretties and frillies we stand a chance.  The lovely Natalie from Jersey Enterprise has been most helpful with our entry, I thought it was because we were awfully nice and a bit special but apparently she helps everyone.

We also have a fantastic new service this Christmas for gents.  We know how tricky it is getting organised and out of the office to buy gifts for your loved ones so we will take care of everything for them.  Afterall one thing we know about is lingerie.  so all a chap has to do is give us a ring or send us and email with the size of his lady love a budget and any preferences and we'll do all the hard work and have something pretty and lovely wrapped, bowed and delivered!

If you would like your gent to receive an email about this service ( subtle hint for them too) just pop us a note at info@plumslingerie.com. You could also pop in and fill in your wish list on the back of your card to help you get exactly what you want!

It's been too long my little lingerie luvers..

Oh how I recklessly and thoughtlessly abandoned you all, while I gadded off to have adventures in Las Vegas.

How on earth have you coped without my little missives on the delights of lingerie and the fascinating goings on at Plums? I would apologies for this neglect but Tricia has done a sterling job of keeping the shop going and to all those of you languishing in cyber space I am sure you have coped admirably.

Normal service is now resumed and we are steeling ourselves for the onslaught that is Christmas. Ah the poor fellows coming in looking like rabbits caught in headlights needing gentle guidance to purchase the ideal gift for their loved one. It is up to us to make sure we have enough lovelies to fulfil their needs.

We are waiting for the final deliveries from Ambra and Simone Perele, I can't wait until the Jospehine arrives. I love the red it's absolutely stunning! Since I've been gone, we've had deliveries from Marjolaine and I am hastely trying to get this all photographed and on the web but stock is limited to it's on a first come first served basis.

I have also got Robby my VA from BPOVIA working getting together some names for me to offer our new Christmas service to. From now one you gents don't need to worry about gift buying any more. All you have to do is give us your loved ones size, colour preference and your budget and we'll do the rest. And before you know it you'll receive a beautifully gift wrapped presents she will absolutely adore. All without leaving the office, who said Christmas had to be difficult!

If you want to take advantage of this service or know anyone you think would like to all you need to do it complete the contact form and we'll sort out everything for you!
