Finger's crossed for a good one

Looking forward to a busy Bank Holiday Weekend in the shop. The High Street is already jumpin' - and the skies are blue, what more could we ask for...? Don't know how long the nice weather is gonna last however, don't think the forecast is great (but lets forget that small issue for the minute and keep our fingers crossed for some nice weather). Next week also sees the return of the Scottish Six Day Trials to Lochaber - a great event that we always look forward to. It all kick starts today with the Pre 65's Trial in Kinlochleven. Good luck to all taking part, we'll keep our fingers crossed for some dry weather for you all. We hope you don't get caught short in the rain, why not step out prepared with one of these handy umbrella's. We've got plenty of other designs in our High Street shop, The Granite House to, so why not pop in for a visit. We have hundreds of cool gifts and gadgets as well. Have a good one everyone - lookin like it's gonna be a good one.

Snow, sunshine and BBQ's!

It's hard to believe with the blue sky outside our windows at the moment, that the snow is forecast to be on its way again this weekend. So we'll be making the most of the long nights, spring sunshine and midge free evenings while they're here. Time to fire up the BBQ and enjoy a few icy cold beverages we think. And we have just the thing to add a bit of entertainment to your barbie. Check out, what we consider to be the must-have BBQ accessory of the year - The BBQ Sword. The perfect way to grill in safety and style.

Happy Easter

It's a glorious day here in Fort William - rather chilly though brrr! We got some great new products in the Granite House this week including Jellycat soft toys, a range of extremely cute highland cows, monkeys and rabbits to name a few. We also got in Dean Morris greetings cards which are a little risque and very very funny! We are getting new stuff in store and online almost everyday so there's always something new to check out whether you visit us in person at the Granite House or online at www.giftmonger.com. Happy Easter everyone!

Wall Climbing Mini Racing Car!

Check out this cool, wall climbing remote controll car! It operates as a normal R/C car, driving about on the ground, but then you flick the switch and put it on the wall or the ceiling and you got an R/C car that can climb! Check out the video of it in action.
