Selfridges held their Christmas preview last week where press were treated to a retro style talk through of all the new collaborations and exclusives coming to the store for the Xmas holiday including the most amazing Gingerbread house replica of the store which can be made to order.
As expected there are a bundle of special treats to eat including bake your own cake packs and incredibly beautiful chocolate decorated edible baubles. The popular advent calender full of beauty products is repeated from last year in red with an additional calender of nail polishes in 24 different colours. Children’s items include a great fun full size Shark look sleeping bag, exclusive dresses from I Love Gorgeous and Bonpoint and special pieces from Little Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Ralph Lauren.
There are also some great hand made decorations from Haiti to look out for and a unique collaboration with Children in Need with giant Pudsey Bears by top fashion names such as Tom Ford and Jonathon Saunders.

I am bringing friends to London for their first visit in November 2012. I am hoping that your Christmas window displays will be finished. Please could you tell me when this will be?
Many thanks.
Mrs. Flack
Usually the Christmas windows do appear by around the 10th November so you should be ok.

Hi, I am not the Selfridges store, please look on their website for details http://www.selfridges.com
Do you know when the Origins Christmas baubles will go on sale? I’d love to get some for stocking stuffers…
Hi , I don’t have the specific date but as all the Christmas stock is all ready in store I would imagine they are already available. Best to contact the store themselves.
Best regards
Linda
