Christmas Order Deadlines:

I always try to despatch my orders on the same day as delivery. With that in mind here are my last posting dates for Christmas

Avoid delays with Royal Mail deliveries

I recommend placing any orders early to allow for any Royal Mail delays!

I am talking from experience here because my birthday cards were 9 days late! This was quite a surprise because 4 of my cards were all posted first class. Two were from areas just 2 and 3 miles down the road from me. On reflection they agreed they should have got in the car and driven to deliver them. But you do expect a better service from The Royal Mail. The two other cards were from well known card resellers – Thortful and Funky Pigeon; and I am sure the have better processes than Royal Mail to ensure their cards are despatched on time!

It was similar for my husband’s birthday, cards posted first class took over a week to arrive. In fact first class and second class arrived on the same day. It does appear that the Royal Mail only deliver to us, sometimes once or twice a week, sometimes not at all.

Sorry, rant over! But I would hate for anyone to be disappointed in not receiving any last minute orders.

Here are some ideas of Christmas presents

Mini Easel Acrylic Paintings

The perfect little gift to give to remind someone of their special place in Cornwall. An original piece of art that doesn’t need fixing to a wall, it will sit on any surface. Priced at just £15 to include delivery. Visit my Acrylics page to see the full page.

Watercolour Paintings

I also have a wide range of watercolour paintings, from my 6 x 6 greeting cards (buy your own frame to make a cost effective gift) to much larger paintings. Here is a small selection but visit my Original Paintings page to visit the full range.
