Welcome back to the gossip column.

The hot product this fortnight is certainly our "all in one" custom made pajamas with a inner leg zip for ease of access. We have been getting numerous requests for this product so shortly we will be introducing this product to our standard catalogue listings. In the meantime, if you would like to order any pajamas, please telephone or email us.

Over the last fortnight, we have also introduced a “Clearance Bin” on our website where we have some amazing specials. These garments are often “one only” garments which we have held in stock for display or promotional purposes. As the garment is only available in a specific size we have greatly reduced the price for clearance and there are certainly some true bargains to be had. Check out the Clearance Bin regularly as products on this page are consistently being updated.

This is a great time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. Don’t leave your Christmas orders too late as we do have manufacturing runs to work to. We are currently offering free Christmas wrapping on your purchases between now and Christmas. Just tick the gift wrapping option at the check-out when making your purchase.

We are currently introducing ladies ¾ jeans with a catheter bag pocket for summer. These jeans will feature the unique back opening design which assists greatly for toileting.

A reminder that on the 28th October 2010 we shall be holding a display stand for our other clothing labels – Larelli Big & Tall and Larelli Teens at the Culverden Christmas Country Fete. We shall also be on hand should you wish to discuss with us any Clothing Solutions garment requirements. Do pay us a visit in the marquee if you are going to be attending this year’s Fete.

Other upcoming events include the Rangi Ruru Market Day which is held in the Christchurch Rangi Ruru school grounds on the 31st October 2010. We will be there with our clothing line Larelli however we will also have some Clothing Solutions garments available and be on hand to discuss any specific garment requirements you may have.

On the 4th November, Clothing Solutions will have a stand at the Geraldine Summer Fete which is raising money for the South Canterbury Hospice. This is expected to be a great day out and we would encourage families to attend. Please come over to see our stand and introduce yourself. We will be available to offer any garment advice for the elderly or disabilities sectors.

On the family front, it’s a busy school term for the kids. Amelia has her NCEA exams and is committed to plenty of extra study for the rest of the term. Angus has his High School entrance exams this week so he is also buried in the books at the moment. William had his school choir performance at the Christchurch Town Hall on Tuesday night and I must say that the entire performance which involved numerous Canterbury Schools was exceptional. Well done to the many talented children who were a pleasure to listen to.

Until next fortnight………………
