As the enquiries start rolling in to Chillisauce for Christmas party bookings, we’re glad to find out that we’re not the only ones jumping on the Christmas bandwagon in summer…Selfridges are opening their Christmas shop on 2nd August- a whopping 145 days before Christmas – that’s over a third of the year being dedicated to festive shopping!

But as crazy as it seems, there is method to their madness. In 2009, the Selfridges Christmas shop sold over 1,000 baubles in its first week of trade, after opening on 8 August.

The items on display in the Christmas shop this year include make your own and pre-lit Christmas trees, paint your own baubles, wreaths, ‘play’ themed Christmas crackers, ornate fairy lights and life size donkeys.But number one on the Selfridges Christmas hot list is a pre-lit, 14 foot Christmas tree by Black Box Trees – the ultimate in yuletide luxury.

So if you fancy getting prematurely festive, get yourself down to Selfridges London on 2 August and don’t forget to book your Christmas party with Chillisauce now to avoid being left out in the cold! Fill out an enquiry form here.
