Dear Customer,

A gentle reminder. With bells on.

Heal's would like to respectfully remind you that the time for vacillating, procrastinating and agonising about what to give for Christmas is running out. Last orders for gifts chosen from our website will be taken on 18th December, after which you'll simply have to rub shoulders with the hoi polloi and venture out shopping.

'But what to get for Great Aunt Gertie?' you implore. Order an ipod for her gangsta rap and be done with it!

Heal's bells! Time is running out.

Oh, Heal's. It's nearly Christmas.
