Description: We all love a Christmas tree. Whether nostalgic, on-trend, multi-coloured, traditional, tall or short – putting the tree up is one of the first customs of the festive season. And what could be nicer to adorn such a feature than your very own Herts Careline special bauble.So, this year, anyone joining the Herts Careline service in December will be presented with a festive bauble to hand on their tree, by our very own technicians when they install your equipment. Then, as well as enjoying the peace of mind and reassurance that having the Herts Careline community alarm service will bring you, you we'll also be 'present' on your tree! The baubles are made of recycled plastics, produced in the UK so we're being mindful of our plant. And they can be brought out year after year or gifted to family if you prefer.
