We've not posted a huge amount lately as it's been absolutely manic what with pesky Christmas cards clogging up the place, and winter stock arriving by the barrowful.

To start us off with the Autumn/Winter vibes, here's our lovely Andy modelling one of our new winter hats!

Pop in anytime to browse the range and more stock updates to follow soon 😊

A little reminder about breakages in our shop.

We understand that accidents happen. Our shop is full of items and with bags, coats, prams and children. things can occasionally get knocked and broken.

What happened today has prompted us to post this reminder.

A customer knocked over a glass melter today and refused to acknowledge it was her. Instead of alerting staff she stayed in the same spot shopping amongst the broken glass. When confronted we were told "that wasn't me". No apology or acknowledgment.

We do have CCTV which clearly showed what happened and the customer did indeed knock the item over with her bag, but we have decided not to share the footage as we would like to protect the persons identity. This isn't about publicly naming and shaming anyone.

However when the customer took her items to the till she refused to pay anything for the item. Eventually she begrudgingly agreed she would pay half for the damage but would not purchase her other items and would not be back. With a customer like this our repose was, leave your items, we will pay for the damage and you can leave the shop.

We do not want this to seem harsh or put customers off from shopping with us and accidents do happen, but a simple "I'm sorry, I've broken something" can go a long way. We will always try to deal with accidents fairly.

Please take care around our displays and if an accident does happen please alert a staff member. As a small independent business we simply cannot afford to personally absorb the cost of breakages as this is our lively hood.

We are not looking to make anyone feel bad. We just ask for the same honesty and consideration that we try to give our customers every day.

Accidents happen. Taking responsibility is what matters.

Thank you for supporting our small business. ❤️

🎈🎈A little update on our Helium Balloon situation. 🎈🎈

In the last few years the price of Helium has been steadily rising, and we've managed to absorb the costs with few price increases. However it's sky rocketed to over a 135% increase this year making things exceptionally expensive, so we've made the decision to stop providing Helium.

🎉 For now, we still have all of our air fill latex balloons for sale if you're looking to decorate for a party, and we're going to monitor the situation to see if things change and we can start doing them again when things have settled down.✨

So it’s official… we’ve partnered with The Treats Darling to create a very special limited-edition wax melt from Galloway Melts, celebrating an incredible 10 years in business! 🎉☕🍫

The scent was created to capture Jade’s love of coffee and chocolate — a rich blend of dark roasted coffee with warm, sweet notes of caramel and chocolate. It’s cosy, indulgent and absolutely gorgeous, making it perfect for the autumn nights ahead.

We’ve finished it with just a little hint of glitter to represent Jade’s glamorous side ✨ and a single coffee bean, which gives each melt such a simple, elegant finish.
I’m so thrilled that Jade asked me to be part of this lovely project and to create something especially for such a big milestone.

I really hope you all love the new scent as much as we do! ❤️
Available in store soon, so keep your eyes peeled 👀✨
Here’s to 10 amazing years of Treats Darling — and many more to come! 🥂

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately — it’s been a very busy summer! But behind the scenes, our very own Galloway Melts has been cooking up a rather exciting little collaboration with a fellow local maker…

We’re so excited to share it with you, but you’ll have to wait just a few more days for the delicious details. 👀✨

🎉 Guess the Birthday Boy! 🎉

80 years young today and still going strong! 🥳

He’s been part of the shop, the laughs, the stories and the chaos for many years — and we couldn’t let today pass without wishing him a very happy 80th birthday.

Still full of character, still keeping us all entertained, and still proving that age is just a number!
