Fresh Flowers at Pierrot et Coco

We've been fans of Sophie Wilson's (aka "I Heart Flowers") designs since we knew she existed...so we're incredibly happy to have teamed up with her to offer beautiful fresh flower bouquets in time for St Valentine's Day.

For those with impeccable taste who like to shun the foily ballon/fluffy stuff/teddy bear/uninspired dozen red roses gift, Sophie has worked on 3 bespoke bouquets at £20, £40 and £60.

We'll have examples of each bouquet in the shop from 9th February, but having seen her beautiful work before, you should be assured they will be a delight to receive. Some options come in a vintage glass vase ready to give and display.

We'll be happy to make it easy for you. Pop in to see us anytime in the next 2 weeks and we can give you more details and take a pre-order if required. You can pick-up at a time to suit close to or on February 14th, or we can arrange free delivery in Glasgow. For those who live dangerously, we'll also have bouquets to buy and take away on Tuesday 14th...making it seem like you had it under control all along...

And ladies, if you need us to remind the one you love you'd rather receive a gift in good taste, we'll be happy to send them a (one-off never to be used again) hint hint email.

Call 0141 649 2489, email : info@pierrotetcoco.com or pop in to see us at 3 Abbot Street G41 3XE and we'll make sure your lady is a happy one this Valentine's Day.

Opening late until Christmas...

It's the last few days of Christmas shopping, so we're opening until 7pm every evening. It's a much nicer, relaxed environment than dashing round a mall with several thousand other stressed shoppers...

Our Christmas Eve closing time is not set in stone - although we plan to close at 4pm, we'll see how it goes and if there are still shoppers desperate for a (very) last minute gift we'll open as long as we stay busy.

More wooden wall art...

We're pleased to say we have restocked the wooden wall art, just in from Milan. We have the ones which sold out too quickly for most to have seen them last time, and found new ones for this season. We have robins, two-story birdhouses, great tits and more deer.

Coming flatpacked to build yourself, they have already been a popular choice to send as a gift through the post. If you need to know how much Royal Mail will charge for this, we're happy to work it out for you.

We love them and can't wait to get them on display tomorrow!

Chocolate treats

"You and Your Wedding" magazine featured a lot of chocolates we have at Pierrot et Coco. We have the always popular Charbonnel et Walker mini truffle hearts, huge chocolate coins, the little boxes 'For a good boy' and 'For a Good Girl' and the Prestat heart boxes.

These do make interesting wedding favours, little add-ons to larger gifts and perfect stocking fillers. From £2.50

We're about to take delivery of a new bookcase to house our chocolates as the expansion of our range continues towards Christmas and beyond...delicious!

Christmas Packaging!

We're quite excited at how beautiful our new bags look! Piero designed a new winter logo with a matching Merry Christmas / Joyeux Noel gift tag. It's especially nice because Christmas has somehow morphed into a taste-free and gaudy time of year for some, and we hoped to retain a stylishness yet show some festive spirit with our packaging.

If you're buying a Christmas gift, we'll happily put it in one of these for you*...just write out the tag then hide your purchase until Christmas Day!

We made it to ONE!

The invitations have been printed, we've decided on the date (although not the full drinks list as yet) and we hope to see you there! We celebrate our first birthday on Thursday November 24th and we're having an evening of discounts across the shop, exciting new arrivals and tasty treats.

It's been a quick year, and we're glad to have made it to the ripe old age of one!

When we first took over the dishevelled coach house in Abbot Street, we had high hopes for it...but when electricians and plasterers and joiners and tilers decided they couldn't work because "the World Cup was on" we were disheartened and found it hard to see the day coming when we would finally open our doors to the public.

It took 6 months, but eventually on a dark and snowy day at the end of November we were able to say "we're open!" to a lovely bunch of loyal and interesting/interested customers with very fine taste!

As a special thank you we're pleased to announce, "The drinks are on us!"

Thursday November 24th, 3 Abbot Street, Shawlands, G41. 6.30pm - 9pm
