Here we are preparing for Christmas 2021!
I’m sure we have all been watching the news about supply chain problems. Certainly, we have all been to the grocery store and seen the empty shelves or have been told that something we were searching for is in short supply.
For retailers, big or little, there is also the challenge of figuring out how much to order. In our industry, we commonly order merchandise 8 to 10 months in advance. Obviously in the times we are in now, the old crystal ball is seriously cracked! Trying to predict what the store will need when you’re not sure there won’t be yet another wave of infection is, to say the very least, tricky.
Luckily, the Boss Bug is not new here! While there have been some delays, most of our inventory will be in place before Remembrance Day. The Chocolate Dream Puffs (Samba), Advent Countdown candles, Angel Chimes, Lingonberries, Danish and Swedish chocolate, as well as most of our candles, are all in already or arriving imminently. Things may be a little bit later than in the better years, but not by too much at all! As it is, we always suggest not leaving your visit to the store too close to Christmas if you’re looking for certain goodies or candles, but there is no reason to panic!
Feel free to email if you’re looking for a particular item and we will check availability and put things aside for pickup.
May we all have a Happy, Healthy & Safe Christmas!
