Stress-Free Christmas Shopping 

(From November 2005 Newsletter)

Christmas is right around the corner. Are you always organised when it comes to present shopping or do you always buy the same sort of gifts at the last minute, having run out of ideas as to what to get for your family and friends?

According to research conducted last year at Greenwich University, the stress levels surrounding Christmas shopping suddenly shoot sky high from the first weekend of December.

We don't want you to go through that again - so Talking Image is here to help! We have come up with some fantastic ideas and negotiated some great deals that might help take the load off your pre-holiday nightmare. We say be creative, spend wisely and enjoy this new shopping experience!

Gift tokens are available for all of our services. £10, £50 and £100 gift vouchers are available and are valid for one year.

Loewe

The Spanish luxury boutique known for its exquisite high quality leather, will be offering discounts for any items purchased through Toshiko. Discounts start at 5% off the purchase price for both individual and corporate clients. They are located in Selfridges and Harrods, and the Bond Street store will soon be relocated to Sloane Street.

Lalique

These exquisite crystals from France are well known for their rich heritage of craftsmanship and design. The company will be offering a special discount on crystals until the end of November when purchased through Toshiko. There's nothing better than getting the finest for less!

Akino
Their ranges of luxurious and bespoke handmade bags are beautiful, combining oriental flair with the contemporary. What makes them so special is that they are practical and suit our modern everyday lives. The computer bag, the yoga mat bag and the baby bag all come in silk, suede and cashmere. No one would guess you were carrying a lap top, an exercise mat or diapers! The prices start from £100 and all bags can be tailor-made to reflect your chosen style, size and colour. Please mention that you've heard about their amazing bags from Toshiko, and I'm sure they will assist you with a very warm smile! (www.akino.co.uk 2.15 Kingly Court, Carnaby St. London)
