If you have any difficulties you can always leave a message and we’ll answer any questions before you buy.

Retail at St Mary’s Hospice Launch Facebook Shop

Our Facebook shop is live…we’re so excited…we didn’t quite launch it…no balloons or staff parties to celebrate the event…just quietly added it to the page with minimum fuss whilst we ironed out the glitches!

But now we’re shouting about it…we want everyone to know it’s here…so take a look in our shop…more products still to be added, but we couldn’t keep it to ourselves any longer!

Christmas cards…diaries and our new range of Shrieking Violet Forget-Me-Not jewellery…all available from the comfort of your own house.

That’s right when you wake up at 2am in the morning suddenly remembering you meant to pick up a pack of St Mary’s Hospice Christmas cards and you promised Aunt Mabel you’d get her a diary…you no longer need to panic…just make a cup of hot chocolate (easy on the marshmallows), log in to Facebook and start shopping!

So head to our Facebook page…like us and follow us…that way you’ll always know what retail are up to.

Star struck…

We have had an amazing donation at the warehouse…a telescope…not your ordinary hobby telescope that you might set up on the windowsill in your bedroom…this telescope is slightly bigger!


My knowledge of telescopes is a little sparse I’m afraid…it’s big…it’s Russian…it’s extremely powerful! Fortunately you don’t need to rely on me to tell you all about it…we have the specifications and instruction manual together with huge storage boxes to keep it safe when not in use.


You know the drill…if you need a giant telescope to make your Bank Holiday complete then leave a message at Retail at St Mary’s Hospice (Facebook) or call 01229 824830…don’t delay begin your stargazing in style and be the envy of all your friends!

I’ve Got That Friday Feeling…Something Fishy Is Going On!

I spent the afternoon at the warehouse yesterday…I’m sure they do it on purpose you know…save their quirkiest donations until I’m there…knowing I can’t resist the unusual! 

Meet Freda (the fish) on sale now in the warehouse 

Isn’t she beautiful…a fine specimen of what kind of fish, I’m not sure…but isn’t she fun?
Made from wood she has had a make over at some time in her life allowing her true personality to shine through with a flourish of pastel camouflage giving her that certain je ne sais quoi?

If you want to give Freda the home she deserves you know what to do…message Retail at St Mary’s Hospice (Facebook) or call 01229 824830…don’t delay she won’t be around long.
