Allergy Block Christmas Newsletter

Hello All

Well we are sure everyone is the same that you cannot believe Christmas is arriving.

We have brought on a few special lines for Christmas and have tried to provide savings where possible to get us through this difficult 'allergy period' where everyone else can indulge but for most of us, the diet is limited and therefore 'treats' are limited.

Here goes...

Willow Confectionery Santa
ONLY $1.50 (inc. gst)

The Willow Santa is like the rest of the Willow range we provide being:
Certified free from peanuts, tree-nuts and egg. Additionally the entire Willow range is free from wheat and gluten. The best before date is February 2008 although we have been 'hounded' by a lot of people to still stock them so here they are.

Of course the entire Willow Range is fantastic for all year around and especially at Christmas.
You can view the entire Willow Confectionery range HERE

Florida's Natural Confectionery

We have brought on this range for Christmas and we will consider continuing stocking the Florida's Natural if you think it worthy!

There are Fruit Strap Sours and Fruit Nuggets in three different flavours -
Orange, Strawberry and Blueberry.

Confirmed free from wheat, gluten, yeast, dairy, egg, nuts & soy!VIEW RANGE HERE....

Eatright Christmas Cake (Round)

The Eatright Christmas Cake is imported from New Zealand and is free from wheat, gluten, peanuts, tree-nuts and dairy. They have been popular so far and we do have limited stock available on this one.

Lifestyle Christmas Cake (Loaf Style/Size)

U8 Posh Pudds

Well if you are going to buy a gluten-free friend a special Christmas gift (or indulge yourself goes without saying) these are yummy! We initially ordered 24 and ate half of them ourselves but don't worry as we have ordered more.

Sweet William Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Buttons
Milk and White
Special Deals & Prices Just for Christmas

These are a new Sweet William range. Like the entire Sweet William range it is free from wheat, gluten, egg, dairy and yeast and 'may contain traces of almonds' although is free from all other types of nuts.

These have been ultra popular and most people have them as 'treats' rather than using them as melting buttons etc. They are also great for decorations and using them in baking.
