Cannot rate highly enough! FANTASTIC artwork and a FANTASTIC idea! The recipient absolutely loved it and it was a very unique gift to give. I love finding different things and this smashed it. The packaging was beautiful and all in all it was just perfect. Thanks!

Sent as a gift for relative searching for a nativity scene. These were gratefully received described as "perfect" and given pride of place on the mantelpiece. They will be used for many years to come. Have bought several items from this seller and they are all cherished decorations. And the seller communication is fantastic too. Highly recommended.

#SBS Success for Walnart!
Ginette McGee, owner of Walnart, tweeted Theo about her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet by Theo to his near half a million Twitter followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.
Business and retail entrepreneur and self-confessed Shopkeeper, Theo re‐tweeted Ginette’s message to his almost 500,000 followers and as a result, Walnart has hundreds more followers and extra orders for Walnart decorations and gifts. Walnart is also profiled on the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.
