End of Term Pressie Rush


It's that time of year again when harrassed parents need to find gifts for their childrens' teachers, teaching assistants, matrons etc. etc. I sometimes worry that one poor teacher will end up with exactly the same present from each of her pupils.

As an ex-teacher I know how nice it is to be appreciated and I really enjoy making beautifully wrapped gifts to make people feel special.

Gift buying can be stressful especially if you don't want it to be a token present. So I spend a lot of my time dreaming up different gift ideas and how they are going to packaged. Good packaging is often the most expensive and time-consuming part of creating a brand.

Luckily, as a small manufacturer, I can try out different ideas in my shop and online to see what appeals. Men are attracted to different styles of packaging to women and are always grateful if they don't have to wrap it.

With online shopping you don't even have to post it yourself, that's my job!
