Hello everyone and happy Friday 🙌🏻

I have been taking advantage of this weather to take a lot of photos, so I can add my next load of products to my website, but I’m struggling with some of them, or maybe I am overthinking (not a surprise); so I would like your opinions please.

This is a real photo, not AI generated, it just has a few tweaks to balance the brightness, but I don’t like it, I feel it looks like a very fake photo 🫠 what do you think? Please be honest, the last thing that I want is customers finding my products and thinking that I am not genuine.

Are you looking for a funny card to celebrate the best dad ever? Well! I’ve got it for you 🙌🏻celebrate dad with a funny 5-star review card.

This card is A6 size (postcard size) and comes with a white envelope. The best of all is that if you don’t live in the same city as your dad, I can add a personalised message inside and send it directly to him 🙌🏻

I like to add a funny vibe to all the gifts I get for my friends and family. Are you like me, or do you prefer a more classic vibe?

If you want me to add some other items that can go perfectly through the letterbox, please contact me, I’ll prepare a lovely gift set for your dad 💝

Today has been a busy day here. I started taking photos and making some videos of different gift sets that I can do 🙂 Here is a sneak peek of a very special gift set, “it’s ok to overthink” 🙌🏻🤣

I am a professional overthinker and I worry about everything that hasn’t happened and maybe never will… but one of my ways to deal with my “demons” is laughing at them, not hiding them, and most importantly, not feeling ashamed of it.

First I came up with the idea of the “let me overthink” metal pin because a lot of people used to tell me at work “don’t think so much!”, and my sarcastic response was making a metal pin for my lanyard 🤣🤣 Then I decided to make the magnet and the keyring because I know not everyone uses pins. The other element of this set is the “jar of worries” notepad, and this too is inspired by myself; when overthinking starts to make me feel overwhelmed, nothing beats starting to write and emptying out all my worries. Sometimes, because I feel a bit witchy too, I burn the sheet and let the worries go away 🔥

So if you have a friend, partner, colleague, or family member who is like me and likes to have a good laugh about being an overthinker, this is a lovely set that I can send directly to them with a card to remind them how proud you are of who they are 🙌🏻

You can also buy these items separately 😉 and here are some news for you that read all the post… Tomorrow I will launch my website 🥳🙌🏻

Small notepads and some magnets are ready 🙌🏻 I have to leave them overnight to make sure the glue seals properly.

Here I have 3 different designs for the small notepads because there are two more designs that I want to show you next week as part of a gift set. I also made a lot of the “let me overthink” magnet and the magnet with a design that I exclusively sell at Serendale with a painting of St. Mary Magdalene Church, a beautiful landmark of Newark on Trent 🤩

Can you see something that catches your eye? Do you like to use tear-off notepads?

Happy Friday!! Bank holiday weekend is starting today 🙌🏻 and the sun is out there 🎉☀️

This time I want to share a new set of mug and coaster specially designed to celebrate the fur dads 🐕🐈‍⬛ those fathers that one day said “I don’t want the dog upstairs!!!” And the dog now sleeps between their legs 😁😁 or the ones that once said “I’m really not a cat person” and now they can’t watch tv without their cat on the lap 😍😍 They are also doing a great job, giving all the love they have to their furry babies.

Do you have a cat dad or a dog dad at home? Was he one of the funny ones that said they “never” will be giving all the love to their cat and dog?

Another option for a cute Father’s Day present is the Amazing Dad ceramic mug, a cute way for him to be reminded, with every morning coffee or tea, of how great a dad he is! 🙌🏻

I can also make you a matching keyring and coaster with the same design.

What do you normally buy for Father’s Day (if you do)?

Another beautiful gift set sent directly to the recipient 🤩 so far the set with soaps and reusable face wipes is the most popular, but maybe it’s because it’s what I show most here.

Would you enjoy if make a few videos showing different gifts sets? It will be sets that I would prepare for the videos, rather than sets that really went out to surprise someone.

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

This week I had a plan to show every day some options for Father’s Day gifts, but life had another plan for me for the beginning of this week including an invasion of 2 adventure squirrels inside my house and a last minute return journey to London by bus 🫠 but I have good news, now I’m home and without squirrels under my toilet (yes, my toilet) and inside the shoes wardrobe, so let’s start with some ideas to celebrate dad on his day 🙌🏻

First photo is a stainless steel keyring with a personalised photo and the second photo is a stainless steel bottle opener with a lovely design on both sides (this design can also be personalised). Are you ready for Father’s Day next month, or are you still looking for the right present for him?

I sell these mugs and coasters all year round, not just near Mother’s Day. I have been thinking about making a new version of dog mum and cat mum set using different colours, or maybe a colourful background… would you prefer a colourful design or a minimalist design like this one?

A request saying “Can you make a birthday card for my friend, she likes blue, it’s her 80th birthday and she still plays tennis very well every week” resulted in a nice square 80th birthday card with a tennis theme in the recipient’s favourite colour 🎾🥳

Do you like to get fully customised cards for different occasions or you prefer to just go for any nice card available online or in shops?

12/05/2026

I will always feel so happy with every gift set I prepared and sent directly to the recipient. I just imagine it as a way to spread happiness, love and kindness.

This was a birthday gift with a fully personalised tote bag, a nice lavender handmade soap, a reusable face wipe and a beautiful flower bouquet card 🤩

If you want to send a surprise gift to a friend or family, would you do this just for their birthday or sometimes just because it’s a nice day to remind them how special they are to you?
