DECEMBER UPDATE 2024

Firstly a reminder that we will be closed for Christmas from Monday 23rd December to Wednesday 1st January! We will be re-opening on Thursday 2nd January. Please take these dates into account when ordering to ensure you get your order when you need it.

Secondly, a quick heads up that we have amended our checkout slightly to offer you some choice on the free items we include in your order – as requested by some of our customers in the interest of saving waste – you can now select no sample, a specific sample as offered (this month it’s to receive one of our printed shields in a choice of one of our new finishes!), and add a pack of sample test pieces if needed. You can tick your preferred option/s as you checkout, but don’t worry if you’re not bothered – just checkout as normal and by default we’ll continue to add your standard freebie and newsletter to your order. Next year we will also trial adding the option to type in your own choice of free sample!

In this update our brilliant FIFA Shield is the main focus of our product showcase as we explore a number of ways you can market it! We’re also recapping all of the sets and luxury items that will make fantastic gifts for Christmas – just in case you’re still looking for anything last minute…

Landmarks and Heritage!

Our stylised version of Scotland launched recently! It is available in 7 sizes and slots perfectly into our Landmark and Heritage collection (which also includes the new Highland Cow Head Shape – also great for Scottish themed products!).

Our in house designers are currently working on a fun map to show off well known places and landmarks throughout Scotland (just like we did for our Yorkshire shape!). This artwork will be made available as a free download in our Facebook Customer Group in early January, so keep an eye out if you’re interested…

The Landmark and Heritage section is one we’re currently working on expanding – so get in touch if you have any ideas! A Thistle shape is next on the list followed closely by some Welsh themed shapes…

FIFA Shield!

The FIFA Shield is one of our best selling products – and it’s not hard to see why… Please check out our video on the product to see examples of how awesome they look printed!

Available in 8 sizes (with the A6, Medium, and Tiny sizes having recently been added!), you can personalise them to create anything from a football stat card or cool piece of wall art to a bag tag, bookmark, fridge magnet, or keyring! To make it even easier for you, we’re even including downloadable artwork FREE of charge with the Giant A4, to create the blue version of a FIFA Shield (just add your own photos and stats!).

If football isn’t quite your thing then don’t worry – the shield is great for use with any other sport and their stats, but also for video games and Dungeons & Dragons, printed up as character sheets.

Tin options and MDF backing are available to add an extra touch of luxury to your shields! The A3, A4, and A5 size also has the option to add our new self adhesive printable metal stands! These are brilliant, and we will be talking about them more in our Jan/Feb Newsletter as they make their way onto more of our products…

  

Football Lover’s Gift Sets!

Create your very own Football Lovers Luxury Gift Set with our new Build Your Own listing! Everything in this set is fully customisable so you can choose exactly what goes into it.

Gear the set more towards someone who plays football with our medal hanger, medals, and trophies, or create a supporters pack using the FIFA shield, baby on board, bookmark, and trading card – there’s so many options for you to choose from!

The Build Your Own has a lot of options available, but if you’re looking for a simpler choice then we have pre-determined sets for both players and supporters available on our website here! We also have a fantastic FIFA Shield Luxury Gift Set which just comes with an A4 Shield (with MDF backing and a stand), Large Shield (with MDF backing, 1 hole, and a keyring attachment), and our 312 x 222 x 25 mm tin to package everything together!

The complete sets with the addition of the tin and topper (which can also be personalised) will be a high end luxury product for you to market to your customers as the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys football and you should sell it at a premium price.

Travel Game Sets!

The Coaster Sized Travel Game Set is brand new, and there are a few different variations to choose from so you can create any kind of set you like! Our three different examples should hopefully give you some ideas for your own creations – a pirate themed magnetic set, a classic standard set, and a word game set.

We have also added a Magnetic version of our A5 Travel Board Game Set to the website for even more travel game options. Check out the Metal Card Set – which is fantastic for any simple games! We have designed an ‘I Spy Bingo’ set which would be great to take on the go – each person gets a card and has to try and be the first to spot and check off all the items on their card.

You could even create a set of personalised Top Trumps style cards using family photos, or even go as far to create a full deck of cards or a Happy Families style set (though you’ll need to choose our bigger tin to fit them all in!).

These sets are great for taking on holiday or on car journeys as they’re compact and everything fits nicely in the provided tins. All of these Game Sets would make lovely stocking fillers for anyone this Christmas! You can really hammer down on the personalisation market by theming sets to specific interests…

Medal and Rosette Hangers!

The Medal and Rosette Hangers are great as a keepsake for anyone competing in sports or shows that award medals or rosettes – plus they make awesome gifts!

The standard Medal Hangers are a classic choice and are available in A4 and A3 sizes – with single or double arm options. But please now check out our brand new Themed Top Medal Hangers! We have 3 new variations: a footballer, some dancers, and the sunset sign. Watch this space though, as we have further plans to expand this range with a Swimmer, a Runner, and some Karate figures (and we’re open to ideas for more!)…

We also offer Rosette Holders with holes at the base to record and hold special event rosettes or our brand new version that has strong mesh attached (available in different lengths) that can be personalised with the competitor (person, horse, dog, etc!) and used to display a whole seasons worth of rosettes!

I’m sure you are all nice and busy in the madness of the Christmas run in by now – please check our traffic light at the top of any page of the website to see if we have any despatch delays (especially in light of our ongoing move to a new premises that we announced on our social media pages last month! – eek) So far our amazing team have kept up with silly season but any issues will be communicated though this site message – and we’ll fill you in on the move properly once completed!

Have fun subbing!
