Harrison's Have Christmas All Wrapped Up

We recently opened the ‘Christmas Products’ section of our website. Since that time, we have added lots of brand-new stock to the section which now represents a comprehensive range of festive articles to make any Christmas celebration fun, exciting and memorable.

Christmas cards are one of the most enduring traditions of the festive period though they only date back to 1843. In London three years earlier, John Callcott Horsley had the idea of sending greetings cards at Christmas time. This wasn’t as altruistic an act as appears at first glance; sending the cards over any distance required the use of the ‘Penny Post’, a system Horsley himself had had a pivotal role in initiating. Today, Christmas cards play a significant role in the festive season and the vast range available means choosing the right card is an enjoyably simple matter. Harrison’s have stocked a fabulous range of Christmas cards this year, from traditional to modern and featuring everything inbetween. Our religious cards are stylish and have an understated beauty, while bold and bright robin, holly and snowmen designs catch the eye and are especially fun for children. Holographic designs are available for those who prefer a futuristic feel and, for a truly luxurious effect, our handmade cards have an authentic crafted style.

The giving of gifts is a tradition that dates back even further. Wrapping presents in a decorative way is almost as old as the giving of gifts itself and forms an important part of the overall effect. This year we have a truly astonishing selection of gift bows, wrapping paper, ribbons and accessories to add that perfect finishing touch to any Christmas gift, large or small. From our cute mini-bows to large luxury foil creations, there is something here to suit every taste. Instead of plain sellotape, our brilliant foil tape with included dispenser brings a real sparkle to a gift; children particularly love the twinkling effect it adds to our novelty wrapping paper. For adults, a gift of wine or spirits is often given at Christmas and our range of decorative bottle bags give the gift that extra special touch.

To mark the festive season, Harrison’s are offering a 10% discount on all purchases from our Christmas 2012 range. To claim your discount, simply enter the code XMAS10 at our simple, secure online checkout.

We wish all of our customers a fun and exciting Christmas and a prosperous New year.
