Winter Blog

Hi everyone,

Welcome to December...we’ll almost! Where did the autumn go, in fact this year in general. It has been another difficult year and unfortunately for many these difficult and uncertain times remain and we would like to thank you for your continued support. Not only are we a small business who value you, but we also have been born from promoting sustainable living through are dress agency shop. I am pleased to let you know that we are now taking bookings for the New Year. Please feel free to contact us for more information if you wish to sell any of your high end fashion items. To celebrate this winter and to give you a helping hand with your Christmas shopping, we will be hosting various Christmas shopping events this Winter and offering various discounts. Check our website or socials for updates!

Things have obviously changed in retail since Covid and we are sadly seeing the demise of high street. We will certainly not give up without a fight and I just pray that one day things get a bit better and busier in stores as well as online. I’m old school and from an era of wonderful days out shopping lunching and more shopping but times have changed so we, at at Paraphernalia need to move with these changing times … we have dipped into it but I now need to dive in (head first!) As I’ve been promising all year, I am finally (better late than never) accepting and embracing more and more these changes that must take place. There will be some exciting updates coming in the New Year to our website (online shopping) and social media platforms...stay tuned!

We had some great times celebrating our big 25th birthday at the shop in September with lots of shopping events to celebrate with prosecco and cake of course! So many of our customers have been with us on our journey throughout the years and it was great to celebrate this momentous occasion and achievement with our loyal customers and lots of lovely new ones too … may we continue together into 2023!

We have some exciting things planned over the next few weeks with the festive Christmas season upon us, it’s all systems go instore and with another shopping event this Saturday 3rd December, that means more Prosecco and more cakes... but don't worry we have your waistlines covered with a pair of our magic jeggings! We have now decided to extend our Black Friday discount for the entire month of December! That way you can enjoy all the festive food and drink with comfort and style!...Diet also to start January!

In the meantime, spread the word, share the love and give us a follow. We thank you for all your support! We wish you all a wonderous Christmas & Happy & healthy New Year... as always, stay stylish.
