Champagne and French Food Gifts Added

This is our first Christmas online and so far the site is going very well. Our retail stalls/shops in Borough Market and Covent Garden are also very busy and together with some staff changes (welcome Edouard!) we have not had a chance to fully stock the site with hampers or gifts.  So see this as a dry run for 2009.

We have however today added some great Champagne and some new foie gras and wine gift boxes from Godard.

New French jams added

We are busy packing and shipping orders but have had time to launch an amazing range of new French Jams. Ingredients include lavender, raspberries, cinnamon and pear. They are all high in fruit and additive free. They will make good gifts,

Adding related items to articles in Shopify

Its been a long time since I posted but that is because the site has started to get busy and we have been focusing on running the business instead of marketing.

The key to extending a Shopify store is to understand the underlying module used to represent objects such as pages, products and collections.

You can read about the code here on the Shopify Forum

and here is an example of its use linking Foie Gras products to an article about Choosing Foie Gras.
