A window into Christmas comes with a Wink
WINK Jewellers was crowned the 2023 Guernsey Retail Group’s Christmas window competition winner for St Peter Port.
‘I was skipping about the shop when we received the phone call,’ said owner Lizzie Jarrold.
‘I’m delighted to win for the third time because I spend absolutely ages thinking about it and get other staff involved.'
This year’s theme for Wink was a snowy Alpine scene, which was inspired by Mrs Jarrold’s son, who works in Switzerland.
‘I dedicated it to him really. It’s also nice to see people looking in the shop window and customers always comment on it.’
She said she had spent one Sunday afternoon decorating it with her two-year-old grandson, whom she said was not much of a help.
‘Last year we had a sleeping cat in the window which everybody wanted to buy, but it wasn’t for sale.
'So this year I made sure that everything in the window was available to purchase,’ she said.
Wink had previously won the window competition in 2018 and 2022.
