As well as all our lovely donated items, we have a beautiful selection of hats, scarves and gloves in our new goods range. They would make lovely presents as well as keeping you snug and warm. We also have some lovely thick tights and warm socks as well as wellington boot socks, which are always popular. The clothes we have for sale are changed regularly as are our displays. I think warm winter coats and cosy jumpers are on the menu for November! We have had a marvellous donation of evening gowns and shoes from Simply Splendid, some of which will be sold in the shop and some on our dedicated ebay site: ebay.co.uk/str/stelizabethhospice. So, if you’re looking for something special then do check out us out. Many thanks to Simply Splendid for your support.
