12 DAYS Of Christmas: Day #4

posted on : November 29, 2016

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Welcome back to Day #4 of the

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SALE!

Note from previous days: We have some VINTAGE CAT & DOG TAG TINS and GREEN AND RED NEON WONDER CLIPS left from previous days. Feel free to add those into your boxes anytime! We know that yesterday's items went super crazy fast… it might have had something to do with the fact that it was Cyber Monday and everyone was ready for some online shopping! Please remember that the blog notifications are not an accurate way of getting your 12 DAYS info. If you want more tips and info, read through the fine print at the bottom of each day's post or look at Sunday's post for some extra info. Thanks so much for playing along!

We are also putting up some extra color bundles from yesterday in red and green for now. Please note that they will differ slightly in fabric selection from yesterday's.

We have also found another box of twine! Woohoo! And have added those back in as well!!

Welcome to DAY #4

If this is your first time with us, thanks so much for joining us. There is a lot of "fine print" info at the bottom of this post that you might want to read to understand how this all works…but beware that your item might sell out while you are reading LOL!!

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME…

FOUR FALLING NERDS [my house is already filled with those but more the merrier I guess]

THREE FRENCH MEN [Ha, ha… I can barely handle the one Columbian man I have now!]

TWO PURPLE GLOVES [I know, I know, purple is not really my thing but no other color rhymes with turtle!:-)]

AND A CHICKEN IN A FIG TREE.

OUR KIT OF THE DAY:

ALL WRAPPED UP KIT [originally featured in our LITTLE BOX OF FIGS so all you subscribers out there should be good on this one]

OUR NOTION OF THE DAY:

LITTLE HOUSE PINS

You already know how I feel about these and no 12 DAYS SALE would be complete without a little restock of these in all of our studios! To be honest, I take the opportunity to restock my own pins at the same time! These have been my absolute favorite for so many years now and I know that so many of you have joined me over the years!

CLOVER PINS

My back up pins every day… the stronger, longer favorite to the Little House Pins above. These are just as awesome and the heavy duty workhorse of my studio. But still gliding through that fabric as smoothly as its friends!

FLOWER HEAD PINS

I just couldn't resist adding these little cuties to our pin line up. Sometimes I need something that stands out a bit more or to mark something as different. These lovely little red and pink flower heads were just what I was looking for! Too cute!

OUR GIFT ITEM OF THE DAY:

HAND CRAFTED SOY BASED CANDLES [a selection of hand crafted and hand poured soy candles from North Carolina]

Oh these lovely little candles… I am totally addicted to them in every scent I have tried. They are absolutely perfect for yourself and for lovely gifts this Christmas. And at this low price point… perhaps every one of your friends should get one too! Hand crafted and hand poured in North Carolina into sweet little jelly jars, these are really a must have for everyone's studio!

The MULLED CIDER is just the perfect blend of apple and home. I have one burning right now. The PUMPKIN SPICE is just the right blend of pumpkin, spice and that wonderful aroma of pie without being too sweet. The SUGARED FIGS is not only a bit perfect and our namesake but a wonderful blend of brown sugar and fig all wrapped up in one. We really couldn't love these little jelly jars any more!!!

DAILY SPECIAL:

ALL PURCHASES WILL BE ENTERED TO WIN A DRAWING OF A 10-PACK OF PATTERNS OF YOUR CHOOSING! OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A FABULOUS CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOURSELF!!

Hope you have fun shopping today. Click HERE for more info on each product.

IN PAST YEARS, MANY OF YOU HAVE ASKED WHAT IS THE BEST/MOST ACCURATE WAY TO KNOW WHEN WE HAVE POSTED THAT DAY'S SALE. SINCE WE WILL CHANGE THE TIMES THAT WE POST THE PRODUCTS TO GIVE PEOPLE ON BOTH COASTS AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL A BETTER CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE, YOU HAVE TO "FOLLOW" US IN SOME WAY.

EACH DAY WE WILL SEND OUT OUR NEWSLETTER, WRITE A BLOG POST AND TRY TO LET YOU KNOW VIA INSTAGRAM.

THE MOST RELIABLE WAYS ARE THE NEWSLETTER AND INSTAGRAM. IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THE BLOG, THE SUBSCRIPTION OFTEN COMES LATE OR THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT DAY'S PRODUCTS WILL BE ON THE BLOG EACH DAY BUT YOU MIGHT WANT ANOTHER FORM OF FINDING OUT THAT WE HAVE "GONE LIVE" FOR THAT DAY. Generally the blog subscription is a wonderful way to know what is going on around here and to see updates and will often give you info that won't be in our newsletter. But for information that is as timely as updates about the 12 DAYS sale, the newsletter or IG are the ways to go because they are immediate and you can see/notice them right away.

IF YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO CREATE SOME KIND OF AN ALERT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THAT.

GENERAL 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS INFO:

PLEASE READ AS SOME INFO HAS CHANGED

* The Fig Tree 12 Days of Christmas sale starts on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and lasts for 12 days [usually with a Sunday off here or there].

* Each day a different kit, stocking stuffer and/or home dec goodie will be advertised- on some days several of each! WE HAVE SO MANY YUMMY GOODIES THIS YEAR! Each day a special DAILY DEAL will be made as well.

* Each special offer will only become available on that one day. Each goodie will only be available while stock lasts. Most of the items offered will sell out on that day, some will last a few days. Please believe us that some items will sell out crazy fast [in minutes] and some will last all day based on popularity and stock. Although we try and anticipate the demand, we are often surprised by your enthusiasm and are limited by how much stock we can carry of any given item. EACH DAY IS BASICALLY A LIMITED QUANTITY FLASH SALE.

* We never know which ones will sell out the fastest! If we are able to get more in stock of any popular product, we will try but we can't guarantee that anything that sells out will come back in stock. If they can, it will not be a part of the sale but something that we offer after Christmas for a separate January delivery.

* For those of you who want to continue to purchase items throughout the 12 days of the sale but want us to hold your purchases for one shipment, YOU NEED TO BUY-A-BOX. SEE MORE INFO BELOW. The box is an actual product available on our homepage. You only need to purchase it once either before the sale starts or on the first day that you purchase a 12DAYS item- but you need to purchase it as an actual product once. Then for all the remaining purchases you make, you will simply choose the "I BOUGHT A BOX" option in the shipping directions during the checkout process.

BUY-A-BOX INFORMATION:

Just like in past years of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS we offer you the choice to hold all of your daily goodies to be shipped together at the end of the sale so you can save money on the shipping costs and keep adding goodies throughout the 12 days! Its an awesome option and a lot of fun! This year we are continuing our special shipping system, called "BUY-A-BOX" and have made a few changes/additions.

This is how it will work:

Given how popular this sale is, and how crazy it is for us, we have had to simplify some of our processes! This year, regardless of whether you think you will get the smaller stocking stuffer kinds of items or the "bigger ticket" items and you are a die hard 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS fan, you have to BUY-A-BOX as your shipping option. If your goodies "spill" out of the medium box, we will upgrade you to a large box… AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Once your large box fills, we will send it to you along with an email that your box has shipped. Depending on what day of the sale it is and if you plan on continuing for the remaining days, you will then be able to decide if you wish to buy another box in order to continue with the sale or not.

If your box does not fill throughout the sale and all we need is an envelope, WE WILL DONATE THE SHIPPING DIFFERENCE TO OUR LOCAL FOOD BANK. We will downgrade those orders into envelopes, calculate the difference and once we have everyone's "donations", we will let everyone know via our newsletter what that amount is and donate it to the Alameda County Food Bank. IN FACT WE WILL MATCH ANY AMOUNT THAT GETS ACCUMULATED FROM UNUSED SHIPPING CHARGES AND ADD THAT TO THE CHECK. So please don't worry about whether or not you are going to fill up your box. The extra $7 or so that you might not end up needing will go to a very worthy cause during this holiday time. Thank you in advance!!

The biggest change from previous years [but the same as last year] – for those of you who have participated before- is that once your allotted box has filled, WE WILL NEED TO SHIP IT AND YOU CAN DECIDE IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE ANOTHER BOX AND KEEP SHOPPING THE SALE FURTHER. This is still a fabulous shipping deal! Not only because we will be upgrading you one shipping category at our cost, but because you can keep shopping knowing that we will continue to put items in your box until we absolutely cannot add anything else! BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT THE ELVES TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN FILLING EVERY LAST CREVICE BEFORE THEY SHIP YOUR BOX. The reason we are changing the shipping from the past is because of the sheer volume of customers that outgrew their box multiple times. The result was a bit more chaos than the elves knew what to do with around her toward the end of the sale!

So here are your steps:

1. So that you are ready for the sale on Friday, BUY-A BOX now so that you can focus on purchasing your items once they start going up on Day #1. Given how quickly the items go, etc, buying your box ahead of time is your best bet!

2. When you are buying your goodies, select the "I BOUGHT A BOX" choice in the shipping drop down menu so that you are not charged for shipping each time you place a new item in your box. This is basically your free shipping option for the rest of the items [until you fill your box].

3. If you do not select "I BOUGHT A BOX" as your shipping option when you purchase items, we will assume that you wish to receive the product right away and you want it shipped right away and you do not wish to accumulate items. Believe it or not, there are many customers for whom this is their own personal Christmas and they look forward to receiving the packages each and every day. Enjoy!

4.Please know that if you forget to select the "I BOUGHT A BOX" option for shipping during checkout, we will not be able to change it. Due to the sheer volume of 12 DAYS customers, we really only have the opportunity to see what is chosen and ship or not ship based on the info you have provided during checkout. Thank you so much for understanding!

Remember you will BUY-A-BOX only once before the sale begins or at the time of your first purchase. This will make all of us- you and us- ready for the sale before it even begins!! You can of course still BUY-A-BOX on the first day of the sale or on any other day that you begin shopping the sale. Basically if you want to accumulate your goodies, you must BUY-A-BOX first. If you fill up your box, we will ship it to you and email you right away to let you know that you will need to purchase a new box if you want to keep shopping.

International orders will be assessed actual shipping charges at the time of shipping. International orders cannot use paypal since we need to be able to access the payment info during shipping.
