Sheepskin (www.sheepskinlife.com), the award winning collection of stylish and unique holiday properties, has launched its first online gift site - www.therewhenyouarrive.com - offering everything from delicious locally sourced foods and beautiful gifts to gift vouchers and its own branded dressing gowns.  Designed to enhance and complement the Sheepskin holiday experience, this new online initiative is launched just in time for Christmas when consumers may be looking for something new and novel.

Customers can purchase food hampers, tapas styled 'Sharing Selections' and flowers to make self-catering stays even more enjoyable and convenient while special pamper packages are perfect for those that may be looking for a little TLC during their holiday.  Many guests stay with Sheepskin in celebration of a special occasion and the new site now gives friends and family the option to arrange for a surprise and personalised gift to be put in place before the guests' arrival.

Items can also be delivered from therewhenyouarrive.com to any UK address - not just to Sheepskin's properties - providing consumers with new and unique gift ideas even when not going on holiday, or perhaps just to spoil themselves at home. Sheepskin gift vouchers are available to purchase online and make an ideal alternative to the traditional wedding gift list or simply as a present for a special someone. 

Helen Shaw, Director at Sheepskin, says, 'It is very exciting for us to launch this fresh online concept. All items have been carefully and thoughtfully handpicked by the Sheepskin team and represent something that is novel and that you won't find on the high street." Tracy Stanton, Business Manager at Sheepskin, adds, "Through our new product offering we aim to celebrate the artisan producer and those small suppliers who make their goods with love and passion.  This could be something truly delicious or something locally made. For instance, with socks hand knitted
exclusively for Sheepskin, our Hiker's Heaven Hamper really is an individual and unique purchase."

Therewhenyouarrive.com is now live and Sheepskin will be adding new lines and interesting additions for limited periods to ensure the shop keeps fresh and exciting.
