I am sure my wife will be too when she receives this (Xmas)................it really is a great shirt, I hope the Japanese lettering is authentic as Lindsay will almost certainly wear it on our visit to Japan next year! I have also told my mum (who was looking for a birthday present for my wife) so she will more than likely post an order to be delivered to us.Best regards,
Dean.

More Koi Gift Mugs to add to the collection.
It has been a great month, since I started creating and marketing these mugs.
Funny how a small idea can snowball.
There have been a few phone calls with the question ‘ Do you have a ……….. koi variety mugs yet?
The answer is YES of course there is, would you like one?
Added to the list below are
The Ki Utsuri
The Hi Utsuri
The Benigoi
All you have to is ask, I usually say yes.
All of the mugs are priced at £7.82 (VAT alteration included) each with £2.25 first class postage inside the UK, there are mail cost discounts when you order more than 1.
You can order any one, some, or all of these mugs from Anne by calling 01673 828811 (United Kingdom) with your card details.
It does not take long and you get to chat to the artist too.
Do it quick, Christmas is not far away and at least you thought about the gift.
