Merry + Bright CHRISTMAS
CATALOGUE
Hello! We're Clare and Anthony, owners of Merry + Bright. We sell homeware, prints, stationery, skincare, clothing and jewellery for people with a relaxed and happy style. Welcome to our 2017 Christmas Catalogue! Buying gifts for what feels like everyone you know is a big job, especially when you (and your family) are already having a busy December. We may not be able to organise your work night out or make a lobster costume for your little one's nativity, but here at Merry + Bright we can take the stress and slog out of finding presents for the people you love. This is our ninth Christmas at our colourful shop on Biggar High Street and we're stocking more brilliant gifts than ever before. You'll find an inspiring blend of old favourites, bestsellers and brand new discoveries on our shelves. In this catalogue we'll show you just a few of the highlights. Wishing you a warm and joyful Christmas,
Clare and Anthony
