A RANGE of new gifts and cards, including a 2009 calendar, has been launched by Nightingale House Hospice.

Christmas novelties including tree decorations, festive mugs and snow globes ranging from £1.75 to £3.25 each are available.

This year also sees the return of the Nightingale House 2009 Calendar, featuring picturesque scenes from around the area.

A new range of Nightingale House’s Christmas Cards is also available. The cards are sold in packs of 10 priced from £3.25.

All gifts and cards are available for sale from the hospice on Chester Road or from one of the four Nightingale House shops in Rhos, Cefyn Mawr, Buckley and Brook Street in Wrexham town centre, or from the charity’s distribution centre in Rhosnesni Lane, Wrexham.

Caroline Siddall, income generation manager, said: “Christmas is fast approaching and is a time of year when people do think of giving to charity; by buying our range of cards and gifts, people can be sure they are helping to raise funds for Nightingale House.

“Last year, sales of cards and novelties raised more than £18,000 which goes toward providing patient services.”
