Piskie presents

Up to 20% off, if you can catch Pirran.

A piskie with a parcel flits through these shelves. Where he leaves one, the price comes down at the counter by itself. No code, nothing to type, nothing to hurry for.

Bigger presents sit on cheaper things. Every present still leaves us a small profit, so none of them is a trick.

Pirran the Piskie on the sign above the Emporium door at Polperro harbour

How it works

1Wander the shelves. Pirran's parcel is on some of the tiles this week.
2Spot the parcel on a tile: it says the size, 5, 10, 15 or 20% off.
3Put it in your bag. At the counter the present comes off by itself, labelled "Piskie present".
Pirran is between rounds. The next presents go on the shelves on Monday.

Who Pirran is

The wrought-iron piskie on the Emporium's signFor as long as anyone remembers a wrought-iron piskie has sat on the ironwork above the Emporium door, lantern in hand. We gave him a name, a coat of leaves and a counter bell, and let him loose through both shops. He steers you to the right thing and tells you every honest caveat before you buy. The presents are his idea of a welcome.

The small print, in plain words

Questions

Is the shelf price real? Yes. It is the price the thing has been on sale at, and it stays when the present goes.

Do I need a code? No. The present is attached to the thing itself; the counter sees it and takes it off.

Why not 20% on everything? Because then it would not be a present, it would be the price. The sizes are set so each one still leaves us a little, and bigger ones sit on cheaper things.

Does Pirran know who I am? No. The presents are on the things, not on you. What the shop remembers of your visit stays on your device; see the privacy page.

What if it does not come off? Email hello@kernowtradingco.com with the order number and we will put it right.
