Happy Birthday Millies

Yes we can’t believe it either… it’s been a year since we first opened our doors in Leeds! In a very difficult economic climate many people thought we were mad opening what we see as a local/fresh foods/deli/natural bodycare/health food store – I don’t know what to call us really?! But with the support from the Leeds locals our first year has flown by. To thank you in helping us in this busy year we would like to invite you to our first birthday party!

Venue: Millies Fresh and Organic, 109 Vicar Lane, Leeds, LS1 6PJ (map).
Date and Time: Thursday 17th December 4pm – 7pm.

We will be drawing a raffle on the evening with the prize being a Millies Hamper. Tickets will be sold all week in store and the money raised will be going to the Breast Cancer Haven.

We will also be offering a 10% discount on all hampers either purchased or ordered on the night and every visitor will also receive a free gift bag on arrival.

Our new local farmers Dean and Angela Hullah from Tancred Farm, Whixley will be there to answer any questions you have on who they are, about their animals and how they run their farm.

Mark Boland, Solgar’s nutritional adviser will be on hand to give out advice on how to beat the winter colds or any other aliments you may have.

Beauty expert Becki, representative for Jasons, Giovanni and Elysambre make up will be promoting those last minute Christmas ideas for all the family!

And of course I’m sure there will be some birthday cake!

Natalie and family

Christmas Hampers available at Millies

We finally got to meet the lovely Katie from Leeds Grub in person when she called round to collect a hamper we had made up for her. She requested a Yorkshire themed hamper with lots of goodies in and blogged about it on her site:

Millies stock a great selection of locally produced gourmet items such as cheese, fresh bread and preserves. They also make delicious home made cakes, mince pies and biscuits. As well as range of pre made Christmas hampers, they will also for a small fee package up any purchases in a lovely presentation basket.

This huge Yorkshire themed hamper put together for me by Millies came to just £50 and contained the following: 2 jars of Bracken Hill chutney, 2 truckles of Yorkshire cheese, soup, chocolate, porcini mushroom crackers, home made mince pies, ginger biscuits and fruit cake, fresh bread, Yorkshire Tea, Taylors Christmas Coffee, a Christmas pudding, a bar of natural soap, mulled wine spice, and a bottle of Yorkshire punch.
