Ho! Ho! Ho!

We hope you are enjoying our Christmas range of craft kits, we’ve tried to add a few new gift ideas to the range this year.

This month sees some other celebrated days to get you in the festive mood, like Christmas Jumper Day (7th), Panto Day (15th) – I know what you’re thinking, “Oh no it’s not!” but “Oh yes it is!” Who can resist a good Panto? There is also the Winter Solstice (21st) where winter officially begins and the nights become longer than daylight hours, but don’t think of it as a negative, as on a clear night those in the North can catch glimpses of Aurora Borealis and those further south can head away from the lights of the towns and cities to catch a stargazing event (fun fact, organised events can sometimes have food trucks that sell that all important hot chocolate, which is a must for this time of year. Obviously we have Christmas Eve (24th), Christmas Day (25th) and Boxing Day (26th) occurring. Then at the end of the month we have Hogmanay (31st) to allow us to ring in the new year.

However you are celebrating Christmas (hopefully crafting with one of our awesome kits), we hope you enjoy it.

If you have anything you would like to share with our team, please drop us an email we love hearing from you.

So until our catch-up next month, stay safe.

Christmas crafting, baby!

Last month saw the launch of our Christmas range and this month will see more launched.  We hope you are loving our Christmas products as much as we are.

For those not thinking of Christmas just yet, here are some other celebrated days to think about instead: you could make someone’s day on World Smile Day (6th) by just keeping a pleasant smile on your face all day – you’ll see that it’s actually contagious; or take things niiiiiiice aaaaaand slooooooow on International Sloth Day (20th); then there’s the totally awesome Back to the Future Day (21st) and an excuse to go into work in the 80’s gear you have at the back of your wardrobe…or you could just wait until Halloween (31st) and wear it then.

Whatever you are doing this month, we hope you enjoy it.

If you have anything you would like to share with our team, please drop us an email we love hearing from you.

So until our catch-up next month, stay safe.
