Christmas with Fishpools

December 2006

If ever there was a time to get excited about the giving and receiving of presents then it would have to be Christmas. As our new Winter brochure says, 'tis the season, and with the help of Fishpools it can be a stress-free one, making shopping enjoyable, easing you gently into the festive season.

At Fishpools you will find everything you could possibly need for inspiration when searching for that perfect gift, from simple stocking fillers to presents for that awkward-to-buy-for person - we have something for everyone. But beware, it might take great generosity of Christmas spirit as you may not want to part with them!

First thing's first - we know everyone loves Christmas, and what better way is there to get into the festive spirit than by decorating your Christmas tree with an abundance of decorations. Pick your favourite theme, from classic red, gold and silver to a more contemporary scheme such as black and purple.

For the more practical mum out there you're probably best off heading for Fishpools' Cookshop where an abundance of beautiful but practical gifts can be found. Choose from ranges by Le Creuset and Kitchencraft, among others.

The mantelpiece is an obvious choice for placing a decorative display - candles with a mix of other decorations can create the ambiance which is perfect for this time of the year. Everyone loves a surprise - both kids and adults alike - and nothing quite captures that element like the Christmas stocking. Hang yours over the mantlepiece for that truly festive feel. And to fill those stockings, Fishpools have a wonderful range of giftware proving that the best things do come in small packages.

Offering everything from furniture, kitchenware, soft furnishings, accessories and lighting, your friends and family will be spoilt with the choice of gift ideas available from Fishpools.

Light up these dark nights with an array of candles - essential at Christmas to create a cosy atmosphere but at the same time they are a therapeutic and pampering gift.

To indulge the senses further (and lets face it, 'tis the season to indulge!) never forget the importance of fabrics when the weather leaves us chilled to the bone. Luxury comes in the form of blankets and plush cushions along with throws and thick rugs in soft woollen materials. Bed linen is available in exquisite, fully accessorised ranges with co-ordinates. Fishpools stock the finest Egyptian cotton to luxurious throws in long wearing fabric, giving the utmost in softness and comfort, making perfect presents for those who love their creature comforts.

For the home-lover Christmas gift lists are fully catered for with decadent dinner services from among others, Royal Doulton. Excellent quality china and glassware which is both beautiful and serviceable, makes a classic and practical gift. Choose from vases and candle holders in both contemporary and classic styles as well as contemporary tableware and a whole range of table linen for houseproud friends and relatives.

Presentation is key at this time of year, and it is reassuring to know that some of the most exclusive glass and tableware come in silk lined presentation boxes - such as the Bohemia Crystal range - choose from goblets, flutes or tumblers.

And while we're on the subject of presentation, the importance of gift wrapping plays a big part; gift bags, glossy paper, boxes and simple curling ribbon all give a great finishing touch and add to the festivity of the occasion.

It can be frustrating sometimes and even hard work to find the right gift for your family and friends but it doesn't need to be this year. With a little help from Fishpools and their fabulous gift collection, you can get all your gifts under one roof.
