Well, here we are. Fairy lights are twinkling, hot toddies are back in the pubs, the high street is mobbed and it took me 10 minutes to defrost the car this morning. It must be coming up to Christmas.

We thought it would be handy to have a mail-out dedicated to things that we think would make great gifts for the music lover in your life who maybe has just enough records (that’s not a thing, is it?), or maybe even just a treat for yourself- you deserve it! If people are asking you what you’re wanting as a pressie, maybe just forward them this email. Saves time, innit?

Since announcing our new merch line a month or two ago, we’ve sold them most days which just goes to prove we should’ve done it years ago. Thanks so much for your support with these. We’re excited to see the shop repped all over the world. We’ve also got our instore vouchers that you can buy online and get posted out (working on an online version, promise), as well as our infamous David Shrigley mug back in stock. I’ve also thrown in A Charlie Brown Christmas because, why the heck not? The perfect soundtrack for dressing the tree.

Speaking of posting things out, Royal Mail have brought forward their recommended last posting dates due to the strikes. For Tracked 48 (our default delivery mode), the last posting date in time for Christmas is Friday 16th December, and most International services are tomorrow, Friday 9th December. There’s also a strike tomorrow (9th), 14th and 15th. We know it can be a bit frustrating when packages are delayed/taking longer than usual to get through the system but we thank you for your patience and understanding as our posties fight for what they deserve. Solidarity to all striking workers, as always.

Happy gifting,
