A Christmas card and carol

We Three Kings of Orient Are

Did you know that this was written by an American, the Rev. John Henry Hopkins, in 1867? The lyrics include:

  Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity Nigh
 
But beware:
 
 
                     Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
 
 
 
Have a great Christmas and a peaceful New Year

A Christmas Box

Here's a new gift idea: a set of six Christmas oils in an ornamental, yet functional carved wooden box.


The oils we have chosen are: Ginger, Nutmeg, Frankincense, Myrrh, Cinnamon and orange. A few drops of these finest quality fragrances will create a wonderful Yuletide atmosphere in your home. You could start with two or three drops of your favourite oil in your burner (some excellent examples of these will soon be found on our homepage), with a teaspoonful of water, then try some combinations of fragrance to produce your own Christmas ambience. Cinnamon and orange are the obvious ones, but I'm sure you'll be more creative than that!

Additionally, as these are all pure essential oils, they have their own individual therapeutic properties, for post-festive use, so please keep that in mind for the New Year. This is a gift that will last!

The box is beautifully hand carved, with banding and inlay in polished brass, so the whole package would make a superb quality gift for a favourite friend or relative.

We are offering these boxes through December at £25, which includes 10% discount, and they can be found in our new Christmas Gift section on the menu to the left of the Home Page.
