  4. Hello all!

    It has been, as of writing, seven weeks since the lockdown has started.

    That’s a lot of time to be so far away from your loved ones.

    With our products, however, you can still manage to have some physical contact with your loved ones by sending a hug their way!

    A lovely way to do this would be through a cuddly teddy, complete with a tag with can be personalised with any message of your choosing!

    47cbbd63-9e32-4a42-b0dd-3206bcbd8851

    Or maybe an elephant would suit your recipient’s style better?

    If you think that some other animal would be the perfect fit, feel free to take a look at the rest of our plushie catalogue. We have giraffes, monkeys, and even unicorns on offer, all complete with a bespoke wooden tag!

    These wooden plaques would look great hanging on the door to one of your living-room-based restaurants – although, of course, the message on the plaques can personalised to however you want it!

    So maybe you could come up with your own catchy name for your establishment, and create your own personalised startup pub for you and your significant other to enjoy!

    For a loved one who wants to keep you in their thoughts, an encouraging photo frame such as this would go well with a nice (Or, knowing the expressions that some teenage nephews can pull, not-so-nice!) family photo.

    This engraved chopping was a gift from a residential home that was given to the 'Yarbridge Inn', as a thanks to them for stepping up and helping the people at the home out. 

    Helping each other out has only gotten more valuable during this situation, and this gift made a lovely token of appreciation to people who understood that fact.

    Whilst it can be hard to remain at home during these difficult times, the people who are experiencing the brunt of this are our key workers. These brave people have put themselves outside of the relative safety of their homes so that they can keep our communities running and families safe.

    To all of our key workers: thank you.

  5. Hello all!

    There’s no doubt that staying at home during the lockdown can be tough. Hopefully, however, by remaining close (if not physically!) to our families and supporting each other, we can all make getting through these trying times just a little bit easier.

    We have wide range of personalised gifts that would be well-suited to giving your loved ones some much-needed support over the next few months.

    As lovely as it can be to be bunched up with your family like sardines, it can make squabbles more prone to occur: little ones arguing over the video game controller; teenage sons who have entirely different standards for what counts as a clean bedroom; a hubby or wife who’s begging you to watch a show on Netflix that you just cant get into.

    In such an . . . *ahem* bustling environment, this personalised sign is suitable for all areas of the house! It could provide a nice decoration, say, for that shed that you’re sprucing up – or maybe it would make a suitable welcome (or warning!) to hang up on the front door.39212806-5095-425D-9D3C-A1A401422E8AIf you’re looking for a sign that’s perhaps a bit more flattering to hang in your home, remember that we can personalise the plaque however you want! Maybe instead of ‘The Nags Shed’, you could have ‘The Man Cave’, or, if you want to provide a tribute to a furry friend, ‘The Dog House’!

    Got a place where your kids love to veg out? A bedroom that they love to hang out in, or a garage with the comfiest bean bag chairs?  Some popular ones recently have been for children’s dens, treehouses, playhouses, and mud kitchens – see below for some examples.01C099A0-9E27-4B7C-9692-D088AD2FACA1These wooden plaques are hung by natural jute string, and would make fabulous bespoke decorations to identify your child’s ‘chillout’ zone!

    If you want to send it as gift – it would be perfect for, say, a friend’s child – then you can also include a gift tag. Simply notify us of what you wish it to say in a text box at the checkout, and your gift will come with this extra personal touch.D429991C-39AD-46D3-905A-EFB8EFEC50E0Send a hug directly to a loved one with these soft toys complete with a hand-engraved wooden tag!

    Coming wrapped in tissue paper (as the rest of our catalogue also does), this cuddly plushie will make a perfect gift! You can choose a different delivery address to send your gift directly to your loved one and we will leave the invoice out of your parcel if required.70CB1E93-8E65-4CDD-A81E-70EC87F5DBADBecause we work at home, we have been fortunate enough to still be able to operate during the four weeks so far of quarantine.

    The government has encouraged online business to stay open, which we will do as long as Royal Mail continues to deliver – although please note that there may be delays in deliveries. We have reduced our Post Office visits to twice per week, whilst we’re collecting other essentials.

    Rest assured that during this period our products will remain up to the same high standard that you’ve come to expect!

    Stay safe!
