Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - Page number 34 - July/August 2021

MISS MILLY Sarah Watmore from Miss Milly says, “Miss Milly has never really focused on Christmas-specific products, it’s always been more about adding some sparkle and seasonal colours to its jewellery and accessories collection. This year, however, we’ve introducing a capsule collection of silver-coloured pin brooches. The range features three animals; a reindeer, donkey and squirrel, all with sparkling crystal eyes. The reindeer is made with a shiny finish whilst the squirrel and donkey use a scratched, matt effect. Cute touches include a star at the end of the donkey’s tail and curls in the squirrel’s tail. “These new brooches are an addition to the terrier dog, crystal cat and pretty songbird that were introduced in 2020 and were very well received. All of the brooches will be available to view and order at Home & Gift and Autumn Fair, as well as launching online at the end of the summer. “Miss Milly offers very reasonable prices and great quality backed up by an efficient, friendly service. You only need to spend £100 and there are no minimum order quantities so you can select exactly what you need. Three styles of branded packaging to suit different budgets are available as are acrylic display stands. Register on the easy-to-use website for trade pricing or give the friendly team a call.” T: +44 (0)1905 622 509 E: hello@missmilly.co.uk www.missmilly.co.uk ALEXANDER THURLOW Whether you’ll be decorating with it, or kissing underneath it, Alexander Thurlow will help you carry the magic of Christmas wherever you go.
