AMS Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Hello Does anyone know where I can buy the squidgy, cut-out snowflake ribbon that Nigela uses to decorate her Christmas chutney jars (page 234 of Nigella Christmas)? I must have (!) this ribbon so I have my fingers-crossed that an Omleteer has spotted it somewhere. Thanks in advance, Alison Edited November 4, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 There is a list of suppliers in the back of the book, or maybe you could try ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 John Lewis usually has a good selection of this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have searched all the stockists at the back of the book and can't find it Also tried ebay. No luck I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Saw a really pretty snowflake ribbon in the dreaded T***co - opted for a gold star one myself - but it was irredescant (spelling) and sheer - hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks everyone for your suggestions - I shall try John Lewis next weekend. I have also e-mailed domesticgoddess@nigella.com so hopefully they will know the answer. I have spent far too many hours searching the internet for this ribbon but I am determined to find it Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I was looking for pretty christmas ribbons in JL this week, but didn't see anything especially nice I am afraid The email should work - they certainly got back to me with heaps of info about another pretty thing I saw in the book that I needed to own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have emailed them to see what P&P is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMS Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 I didn't worry about P&P ... or the cost of the ribbon... how many AUS$ are there to the £ ?! When I checked out there was no mention of P&P charges (domestic or international) but the drop-down boxes had the UK as an option when registering my contact details. I half-expected an e-mail from them overnight but nothing. I will e-mail them now and offer to pay more P&P - I don't want them to send it surface mail Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 That is very good news. I found Nigellas 'people' to be very helpful when I was trying to track down a metal sign from the Christmas book too Have you seen that the ribbon comes in red too?

Lesley Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 We are lucky to still have a good Haberdashers in Stratford - and they have some beautiful Christmas ribbons, I was talking to the buyer on Saturday. It might be cheaper to drive up to Stratford Cinnamon! (I didn't see one like the snowflake one though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The thing is Lesley,I don't NEED the ribbon, I just WANT it Being female you will know exactly what I mean of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ax Wow that snowflake ribbon is lovely - I don't have Nigella's book, so I was none the wiser!! Re these adorable little wooden shapes, I have a lovely little chap near me, who does his own wooden cutouts. I'm sure they are much cheaper than 99p each plus £1 p&p, if memory serves correctly (doubtful at this hour ), he has a good selection of shapes too, bells, holly etc. They are blanks, so you can put whatever you like on them too - although these are very pretty! Would you like me to pop in & see.....? Can get some & post them if you'd like. Let me know. For the record, he also does loads of non-Christmas shapes too.
