Order book open for 2024 fresh wreaths

Posted on by Mark O'Hanlon

Orders are now being taken for fresh wreaths, 5kg spruce bundles and bulk holly.

To avoid any disappointment especially around the early collection dates please ensure you do get your orders in as soon as possible. Capacity is always limited so once it is allocated there is little we can do.

All fresh wreaths, spruce, holly and foliage is collection only from PR4 6RR. The website shows ‘out of stock’ to prevent internet orders being received.

We wholesale plain wreaths to the trade who then adorn them to suit their own customers tastes and pockets. The prices shown are the best we can do. There is no further discount available.

BLANK SPRUCE WREATHS
Production of plain spruce wreaths usually starts mid November. Collection dates around this time go quickly. A minimum order of 10 wreaths applies. We make spruce wreaths in 10″, 12″, 14″ and 16″

BLANK HOLLY WREATHS
Production of plain holly wreaths usually starts 1st December. Collection dates around this time go very quickly. A minimum order of 10 wreaths applies. We only make holly wreaths in 10″.

SPRUCE BUNDLES
Orders for spruce bundles need to be received by mid October. Price TBA but hopefully around £10 each

Fresh Spruce – Latest

Posted on by Mark O'Hanlon

Status as at close of play 30th October

We have now sold out of 5kg spruce bundles.

We have very limited capacity remaining for plain spruce wreaths. Please don’t delay if you have not yet ordered.

We still have capacity for Holly wreaths.

Apologies for any disappointments – the early birds have got the worms this year.

Red ‘Silk’ Poinsettia back in stock

Posted on by Mark O'Hanlon

We have managed to get a new batch of the red polyester poinsettia flower picks. They have gone up (again) in price and they are not the same premium quality even though they share the same HF001 code.

As artificial wreath flowers go, they are undoubtedly still a decent wreath pick but, I would conclude them to be not quite the bargain they previously were.

2023 Price Rises

Posted on by Mark O'Hanlon

We are seeing more significant price increases coming through in this season’s new stock. Items that stand out are the artificial flowers, pine cones and stub wire. If you are selling your wreaths and grave pots then set your prices accordingly or adjust your designs as each decoration is becoming an expensive consideration. The only good thing to come out of it is that it does make our home grown natural decorations even more attractive.

I have had to increase the website prices of new stock as received but where we have plenty of existing stock I have put this on ‘sale’. For example, 9″ 19g stub wire is at the new price but there are big savings to be had if you can use thicker 18g or the thinner 20g or 22g.

Making Straw Wreath Bases

Posted on by admin

It might be the last day of August but, as the kids go back to school, thoughts turn to Christmas and orders for our straw bases are starting to arrive.

We do hold some stock of made up wreath bases over the rest of the year which get used for a variety of other crafts but once the seasonal wreath orders start, we try and replenish stock as and when we can.

The wreath binding machine wraps a filament around the straw and binds it to the frame. To save space it gets put away every year so today it has been dragged out of storage, dusted, serviced and set up next to the bales of straw to minimise the mess when opening and moving bales in the shed.

A few 10″ rings and 14″ rings were made today so production is officially underway!
