This could solve no end of present dilemma's, buy something for yourself and give a voucher to a loved one... FREE - sorted!

So don't hang around grab your keys, grab your bag and pay us a visit!

Movie Time

Despite the torrential rain today, we're still feeling pretty Christmassy up here in Bude. During lunch we had a snap-poll of our favourite Christmas flicks, in anticipation of watching a few in the run up to the big day.
Leader of the pack was, unsuprisingly, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I'd probably have to agree although only one other person agreed with me on 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles'.
A few other slightly odd choices:
'Enemy Of The State' - technically, yes, based at Christmas but not a film I'd necessarily flag as one that exuded ample Christmas spirit.
Even odder was our Rachel's choice - 'The Omen'. Now I'm not sure whether this is set during Christmas or not. But, again, not one I'd naturally put on the TV for my mates kids to get them in the festive mood. But each to their own.
Bizarrely, no-one has mentioned 'The Snowman'. Maybe the big pile of frozen rain has finally had his/her (who knows) day. C

Surf Jumble hits national press

Tom and I finally hit the big time with a mention in a widely circulated North Cornwall weekly paper. Excuse the facial hair - but this was mid-'Movember' so it was all for a good cause. Though quite how Rosie Rumple and Prince Rupert managed to bag the top spot above us remains a mystery. C

2 cold 2 blg

Tis the silly season.

It's that time of year.

So we won't go over board on the shmaltzy decorations.

We won't overload our shop playlist with awful eighties Christmas ballads... Personally, I'd rather be waterboarded than suffer Noddy Holder.

We won't be dressing up as a ropey take on Father Christmas. At least, not during work hours (what we dress up as in our personal time is our business).

Now, please don't assume that we're not excited about Christmas. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's our favourite time of year outside of Summer. I can't speak for the rest of the staff but I know I'll be playing 'Fairytale of New York' every morning on my way to work.

And on the way home.

What we most certainly will be doing is staying open late enough (6pm) for you to drop by and make the most of our current offer - Spend over £50 and receive a FREE £10 gift voucher. Spend over £100 and get a £20 voucher.

AND we'll be offering up the Mince Pies on late night shopping evening - Friday 10th December.

Of course, the following day, it's our Surf Jumble, where we'll be exuding Gul Christmas cheer down at The Parkhouse Centre. Hopefully we'll see you, to give you your big Christmas Gul Hug.

Brrrrrrrrr

So cold.....

Ace of base

I'm new to all this layers business, didn't really get it to be honest. Then arrives our new Merino base layers and I try one on.... Well, tickle my snowballs, Gul may well have given us a sustainable answer to our poor heating problem during this cold snap. Ive got one and I'm toasty, told Rachel about it and she has one too now, she says she's toasty... We are converted! And as a result, have completely bored anyone and everyone who will listen with this impressive list of merino(y) properties:

• Natural odour resisting properties (sweat as much as you like)
  Wet and Dry insulation
  Super soft finish
  Thumb loops on the long sleeve version
• 100% merino wool

It's Cold... it's VERY cold!

With the weather as it is don't be silly, put those shorts and flip flops away and come get togged out - buy the scarf and you get the hat half price.... BARGAIN!
