Greetings Curry Lovers!

Unlucky for some, but lucky for Redhotcurry.com users, you have just 13 days left to take advantage of our stunning 20% off Discount Offer at the Redhotcurry.com shop. But you Redhotcurry.com users are a canny lot. Many of you have already discovered that the voucher is reusable and have ordered more than Santa Claus himself (just how many people are you buying for??!).

Anyway, for those who have emailed me asking for clarification....the 20% off discount is OVER AND ABOVE (i.e. in addition to) the price you see on quoted on the screen. And yes, this does mean our new hot Bollywood DVDs start from only £8.79 with some of the very latest ones costing just £11.99. We also offer FREE DELIVERY on Bollywood DVDs so that is really all that you pay. Asian music CDs start from just £6.39 and you can pick up Jay Sean & Raghav for just £9.59 (although I don't mean that literally...I'm talking about their debut albums).

As we rapidly approach the party season, we have just launched a terrific range of unique Lapis Lazuli jewellery sets and stylish kurtis to help you jazz up an otherwise sober work outfit. Sourced from Noorjehan Collections, the Lapis sets range from beautiful, chunky, Egyptian styles, through several Indian-inspired designs to a distinctly rock chick glamour look. With your 20% discount, sets consisting of a necklace, bracelet and earrings start from just £52.79. Individually earrings start at £6.39, bracelets at £10.39 and necklaces at £34.39! And men....these make wonderful gifts for the women in your life! (just a gentle hint).

LAPIS LAZULI JEWELLERY new
Lapis Lazuli JewelleryPrized by the earliest inhabitants of India, Persia, Mesopotamia and Egypt, Lapis Lazuli consists of grains of several blue minerals. Lapis Lazuli, the stone of the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt has been found on mummies that are 7500 years old. It was the sacred stone of Egypt, valued on par with gold. The word Lapis is derived from the Arabic ‘Allazward’ meaning heavenly or sky because of its beautiful blue colour. Our necklaces, designed by jewellery specialist ‘Noorjehan Collections’, consist of the highest quality, Triple A grade lapis lazuli worked with hallmarked sterling silver. read more read more
RED CORAL JEWELLERY new
Red Coral JewelleryThis natural Red Coral has been harvested from Morocco and is merely shaped, polished and drilled with hallmarked sterling silver to give a beautiful, original finish. Coral is an animal that grows in colonies in the ocean. Coral polyps secrete a strong calcium structure that is used in jewellery making. Coral ranges in colour from pale pink (called angelskin coral) to orange to red to white to black. The most valued colours are deep red (called noble coral) and pink. In jewellery making, coral is either carved into beads, cameos, or other forms, or is left in its natural branch-like form and just polished. read more read more
KURTI COMEBACK? new
Cerise Pink Kurti, detail of embroideryThis modern version of the traditional Kurta (long, knee-length shirt) is all the rage. Described by many as the hottest selling garment this season, the Kurti (Tunic-Shirt), with its eastern and western influences, is the most versatile piece of clothing you could own. It is accepted both for casual and formal wear and you can mix and match it with trousers, jeans, salwars and lenghas! read more read more

In the beauty and fragrances section, the Lacoste designer brand is outperforming all the others with 'Touch of Pink' for women and Lacoste 'Red' for men. Apart from the packaging, the clean, lighter fragrance seems to be the one to have this season. Hugh Boss is not far behind with 'Shimmer' for women surging ahead and traditional Hugo Boss for men also selling well.

'Beautiful', the unique fragrance from Estee Lauder tops our gift set sales (possibly due to the under £30 price tag!). In the Beauty Products section, hands and nails are grabbing all the attention with the gorgeous Woods of Windsor Drum Bags, consisting of body spray, hand and nail cream and a soap bar, almost entirely sold out. The eye-catching Lace Nails, that are perfect for setting off a mehndi pattern, come in as the next best seller and cleaning ladies everywhere are in for a fragrant present this year with the Woods Organza & Make-up bags selling really well. Unlike chocolates, the fragrant products are likely to linger delightfully around one's entire body rather than settling unshiftably around the midriff!

In the Homewares section, the spiced cranberry candles have captured your imagination with both the votive candles and large candle selling quickly. I love the Christmassy fragrances for the home, but if you are tired of frankincense (soooo last year!), then try the cranberry or the true rose scents. Votive candles are also available in Lily of the Valley and Lavender for banishing cooking odours. In the Kitchen section, the humble spice box is our most popular item and probably will be forever more. It is followed, as one might expect, by Indian Cookery Books...although I note that none carry a curried turkey recipe. Is it that you're hoping for something a little more exotic this year?
