🎄What’s your favourite Christmas traditions?
For us, it’s the putting up of the Christmas tree as a family around the 1st December. (And yes, by now the tree will be up and twinkling away). Its spending time with my two daughters making the Christmas cake in September. But one thing I love this time of year is to curl up infront of the fire watching Christmas films.
I’d love to know what your favourite Christmas traditions are? 🧑‍🎄🎁⭐️

We need to talk….
As you may have noticed,major retailers have already been doing big discounts in the run up for Black Friday. Which has now turned from a one day / weekend to a month of discounts.
As a small business, we just can’t compete in the same way. The Christmas period is so important to us, we would love for you to shop with us and other independents.
The products we provide in our gift boxes are all from small independent businesses made in the UK.
And... from each purchase made, we give a % of our profits to support other cancer charities.
So, for this weekend only:20% off using code: COLOUR20 or FREE gift wrapping.

Sometimes, it’s when things suddenly change in our lives that we take realise how much the little things in life are the best things. Like the cuddles from our little ones, to the ‘I love you’ from our partners, to the reaching out for a cup of coffee (or in my case a hot chocolate) from our friends to check in with you are the best things ever.
What are you most grateful for this weekend? 🎗

43 women.

Every day.

Gone too soon from lung cancer — often misdiagnosed, often unheard.

I’m standing with & to on lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the UK’s biggest cancer killer. It strikes without warning. It’s silenced by stigma.

Lung cancer deserves the same voice, visibility, and urgency as every other cancer. We owe it to those we’ve lost and those still fighting to raise our voices and demand better.

, the time for change is now.

 

 

Please take a picture of yourself in black and white holding you fingers to your lips. ( see Jules example)

You can actively schedule your post now for the date & time you want it to drop onto your page.

We need your support 🙏

There were days I felt strong, and days I completely fell apart.
“Why me?” “What will happen to my family?” “Will I reach 40?”
I kept those feelings hidden for so long — but they only grew heavier.

To anyone waiting for answers or living with a cancer diagnosis, please know your emotions are valid.
You are not alone in this. 💚

We would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you have a memorable time with loved ones.

Black Friday is often associated with consumerism and deep discounts, but as a business focused on making a meaningful impact, we’ve chosen to take a different path.

While major retailers slash prices, our priority remains steadfast in supporting those affected by cancer. By donating a percentage of our net profits to two dedicated charities, we aim to provide essential aid to individuals and families navigating the difficult journey of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Our decision not to participate in Black Friday sales reflects our commitment to fostering long-term benefits over short-term gains.

Moving forward, we are determined to amplify awareness about cancer and the incredible work these charities do to support those in need.

By choosing to support our mission, you are contributing to a cause that prioritizes compassion and community over competition.

Thank you for being here with us. We are incredibly grateful for the support you show independent businesses like ours.
