SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER NEWSLETTER 2025

It’s all go towards the end of the year now, and Christmas has come early as we have a sale running throughout September with up to 50% off across a lot of our Christmas products! I think we can all agree that it’s been a tough year, so we’d like to try and help and give back to our customers where we can.

With this in mind, we have even more Christmas picks and ideas for you in our Seasonal section, which will hopefully give you inspiration to get creative…

Our project for this issue is all about Birthdays – these all year round occasions are the perfect opportunity for personalised products! We’re covering a range of ideas for gifts and accessories such as badges and decorations – with ideas for some of our existing products and additional new items too (you’re never too old to love a celebration card and a sturdy personalised birthday badge – obviously made out of lovely sublimation metal!?)

Important Dates:

• Christmas Shutdown – Wednesday 23rd December (the order cut off point will be noon) to Thursday 1st January, we re-open on Monday 5th January 2026!

September and October’s Free Gift is our brilliant book tags (with new Double Sided printable versions now listed!) You will receive one at random from the few different styles, colours, and sizes that are available.

Seasonal/Marketing Ideas

As we creep ever closer to December, we have even more Christmas Picks for you to check out! But firstly some super exciting news – we have a big sale running throughout September with up to 50% off overstocked items across our range of Christmas products! Be sure to take advantage of these deals and bag yourself a bargain while also getting prepared for the festive season.

    

The A4 Bauble is an ideal shape for a lovely door or window decoration! It can be printed up with the house number and street name for both a practical and pretty door decoration, or why not use it as a fun ‘Santa Stop Here’ sign that can be hung up in the window? You could even get extra creative and weave ribbon or strings of beads through the slots to finish the decoration off.

If you’re looking for a more interactive idea for a product, this bauble shape is also brilliant for dry wipe Christmas countdowns or wish lists! These can be used year after year and make great gifts for the whole family.

Our Snow Globe is a classic seasonal shape and fantastic for tree decorations! This shape is the perfect candidate for creating personalised decorations with family photos and names, or milestone decorations such as: “Baby’s First Christmas” and “First Christmas in Our New Home”. The XL size also has the option to add a set of 3D elements which can be attached using foam pads which creates a cool effect!

New Products Spotlight!

Our new Multi Charm Two Chain Keyring/Bag Tags can be used in so many different ways! We have listed a handpicked selection of shapes from our range, as well as an optional luxury tin or bag so you can turn it into a lovely gift. As our metal is so light, it’s not too heavy an addition, so you can have fun choosing 2 shapes to help you spot your keys or bag!

Additionally, we have a new Jumping Horse shape (along with a variation with a rider), which is perfect for anyone who loves horses! We also have a new Dagger shape – excellent for fantasy themed products – which was actually a customer designed request!

One Item, Three Ways!

These Two Chain Keyrings or Bag Tags are so versatile – pair up whichever shapes you want to create all kinds of themed keyrings that your customers will love! Below are just three ideas for ways you can use this product…

Shed/Workshop Keys
This keyring is a great way to brighten up a set of keys! We’ve decided to create a set to go with some shed keys – choose a tool shape if the recipient is into DIY, or just as a way to indicate what the keys are for – if you have a lot of keys this can be a fun way to differentiate each set (especially if you hang them all up!).

Parent and Baby
This would make a simple but lovely gift for anyone who has just had a baby! We have paired up the moon and planet shapes for a space theme, but you could really choose any of our shapes for this idea. Personalise the keyring further with names and the date, time, and place of birth – or just keep it simple with names or initials!

New House
Moving into a new house is always a big deal, and deserves a little keepsake to mark the occasion. We have used our house and key shapes to create this keyring, choosing to print them up with the house number and move in date!

 

Hopefully you’ve been inspired to get shopping and making, especially with the busy season just around the corner! We’ll be back pretty soon with a few extra updates in the next month as we have yet more exciting news to share with you – this time regarding some major new collaborations and launches that will make shopping with us even easier and even more enticing!

Finally, don’t forget to go and check out our project for this issue, which is all about Birthdays!
