Frequently asked questions

What is a good Christmas gift for an elderly grandad?

Warm, easy-to-wear gifts work best: a wool flat cap, a soft cashmere tube scarf that needs no tying, or a lambswool scarf in a colour he already wears.

Is cashmere good for older skin?

Yes. Cashmere is very soft and gentle, so it's comfortable for people who find ordinary wool scratchy.

Is there a discount if I buy more than one gift?

Yes. Buy any 2 items and save 15%, or buy 3 or more and save 20%. You can mix products and colours, and the discount is applied automatically at checkout.

When should I order for Christmas delivery?

Order by 14 December for UK delivery before Christmas. Delivery is free on every UK order, and returns are free within 14 days.
