Welcome back to the gossip column.

It’s been a bit of a catch-up fortnight for the Clothing Solutions team. We have been busy catching up on back orders and have implemented a manufacturing schedule to cope with the increase in Christmas orders. We recommend that you get your Christmas orders into us over the next 2 to 3 weeks to allow sufficient lead times for your garment to be manufactured and couriered out to be received in time for Christmas day.

We are providing free gift wrapping between now and Christmas. Just tick the gift wrapping option if you would like your purchase gift wrapped. A reminder that our courier charges for general sized garment orders are only $9.00 to anywhere in New Zealand, $16.00 to anywhere in Australia and $30.00 to anywhere in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and Sweden.

Temperatures will be getting a lot cooler throughout Europe at the moment as you head into winter. It’s a good time for disability care facilities and individuals to order your polar fleece sleep suits and rain capes. Our online ordering system will process your order quickly and easily. If you do experience any problems with processing your online order, either telephone or email us. We are happy to telephone you back at your convenience to discuss your requirements.

We have been inundated with very kind offers from facilities and organizations to hold fashion displays of our clothing range. We will be rolling out the majority of these events next year as our schedule is somewhat full leading into Christmas. If you would like to book a display in New Zealand, please contact Deborah on 0800 450 400 or 03 3102193. Alternatively contact Donna on 021 360835.

Clothing Solutions has expanded its manufacturing to include garments for amputees. We are here to offer any further information or assistance should you require it.

We also manufacture garments for children with disabilities. Any garment can be custom manufactured to meet the needs of an individual. Don’t hesitate to contact us should you need anything.

Our core products such as clothing protectors, sleep suits, body suits and bandanas are continuing to sell well. All of our garments are manufactured in Canterbury, New
Zealand to the highest specifications.

On the family front, Amelia is in the middle of sitting her NCEA exams. Angus is away on school camp up in the hills and William is recovering from a minor injury to his leg having ridden his ride on lawn mower into a gate. The temperatures here in Canterbury are finally heating up making it a good time to get out into the garden and my veggie garden is also coming along quite nicely this year.

Until next fortnight…………………
