With pouring rain outside, there were not exactly any signs of winter as SCCE met for the Christmas and Winter edition of Time to Refresh & Revive on Thursday evening 12 November. However, welcomed by a glass of wine there were indeed Christmas in the air as we gathered in Hemtex Solaris store - both visually, and in terms of scents and tastes.    

Kaja Saar, Timo Arvonen and their team at Hemtex offered us gingerbread and a nice discount on their new Christmas textile collection. Ivar, Margit and Mari-Anna Miller put up the Swedish national treasure Västerbottensost, as well as Semu sea buckthorn glögg for us to taste. And, Helina Eha and Cadrin Lokotar let us try Oriflame's range of high-quality, natural Wellness products developed by world-leading Swedish scientists.

Just as this spring, the Refresh & Revive hours passed quickly and many homes will now get a new and stylish look for the upcoming festive season. I'm also sure that many Estonian, and not only Swedish, Christmas tables will include Västerbottensost for the years to come. And, many bodies and minds will for sure be refreshed and revived now with Oriflame's Wellness products.

- The products in our Christmas, as well as our entire collection are always offered at good prices and delivered in stylish gift bags to our business clients. Just give me a call or an e-mail, says Hemtex's Kaja Saar.

Her contacts are; tel: (+372) 56 844 146, e-mail: kaja.saar@hemtex.com

Additionally, there are also Christmas gift packages available including products from Hemtex, Västerbottensost and Semu. Examples on packages and more information are found in the 'News from members' section at www.swedishchamber.ee/newsfrommembers

On behalf of all participating SCCE members, I would like to thank Hemtex, Oriflame, Västerbottensost and Semu for their support in refreshing and reviving our homes, bodies and minds. And, last but not least, my thanks go to all participants for creating yet another SCCE After Business Hours filled with cozy and nice togetherness.

Sincerely,

Kristiina Sikk
