Oh wowโ€ฆ we have our second sell-out from the British Classic Gonk Collection! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Big Ben has been so popular that he is currently sold out too!

But please donโ€™t worry, he is already on his way back. Our shop is still full, with hundreds of other gonks to choose from, so please donโ€™t let one sold-out design stop you from visiting. You might discover a completely different favourite! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Š

If you prefer a quieter shop, pop in during the week, as Saturdays are starting to get very busy from now on! ๐ŸŽ„

Good morning, my Gonksters! ๐Ÿ’š

I tried to take a peaceful day off on Sunday, and I really did. Wellโ€ฆ sort of! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿค

We travelled to our Mansfield shop to sort through what will be available for our November and December pop-ups. We also brought back the Advent calendar inserts, ready to slowly begin building the calendars this week.

When we arrived, we discovered that one of our storage piles had decided to fall over! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸซฃBut we both stood there looking at it and agreed that, considering it had collapsed, it had actually fallen very neatly and politely. It could have been much worse!

Iโ€™m adding a few pictures from last yearโ€™s calendar-making process so you can see how much work goes into every single one. But please donโ€™t look too closely at the gonks inside! ๐Ÿ˜‚ These are last yearโ€™s designs, so you will not be receiving these. This yearโ€™s calendar is completely new and slightly different.

Start getting excited, guys! In around two months, your calendar will be sitting in your home, with only a few days left until you can open that very first door! ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’š

On our way back, we saw something incredible. I shared it in my stories, but the video really doesnโ€™t do it justice. The whole sky turned deep, dark blue, with what looked like a huge wave coming towards us. It almost felt as though we were standing beside the sea. We had never seen anything like it.๐Ÿฅฐ

It made me think about how busy life becomes. Most of us are rushing from one day to another, paying bills, trying our best and sometimes simply making it from one month to the next. But for those few moments, we forgot everything and just looked at what nature had created.

Sometimes, all you need to do is stop and look up. If you havenโ€™t been outside for a while, go for a walk and notice what is around you. Even through the hard days and the not-so-good days, there are still beautiful little moments waiting to brighten your day. ๐Ÿ’™

Now itโ€™s a new day, a new week and a new Monday. We keep going! ๐Ÿ’ช

To everyone who has only recently found us, welcome to Gonk World!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Š

These are the final three days of September. From October, our mint-green shop will slowly begin its big transformation into a magical Christmas grotto! ๐ŸŽ„

If you would still like to see the shop before Christmas takes over, come and visit us soon.

If you canโ€™t visit, our British Classic Collection is going full speed online, and we already have plenty of orders waiting to be packed this morning! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Have a wonderful week, everyone! ๐Ÿ’š

My Gonksters, thank you so much! ๐Ÿ’š

Today was officially our busiest day since moving to Warrington, both in the shop and online. You have completely wiped me out! ๐Ÿ˜‚

But now, guys, I am officially clocking off until Monday morning. I donโ€™t want to hear another question about gonks, Advent calendars, colours, stock, opening hours, opening days, why is calendar so expensive or where your parcel has disappeared to. ๐Ÿ˜‚

You know I like you all, but my brain has now closed before the shop has! If your parcel has decided to go on a little adventure, I promise I will deal with it on Monday. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you for an incredible day. Have a lovely evening and a relaxing Sunday, guys. Speak to you all on Monday! ๐Ÿ’š

Gonksters, itโ€™s officialโ€ฆ Timmy the Teapot has made Gonk World history! ๐Ÿ’š

Timmy is officially the fastest-selling gonk we have ever released in five years. You have completely fallen in love with him, and at the moment, guys, he is SOLD OUT!

I could see so many of you still had him in your baskets, and so many people were asking for him today, so I have just placed another order with the factory for 100 more. They should be here within two to three weeks, so keep your eyes open. Vintage Timmy will be back!

This is only the beginning of Timmyโ€™s collectible journey. There will be 14 different Timmys to collect altogether, and Vintage Timmy is the very first one.

So if you missed him this time, donโ€™t worry. Keep watching for Vintage Timmyโ€™s return so you can still jump aboard the Timmy collectible wagon from the very beginning!

Then in November, our second Timmy will arriveโ€ฆ meet Merry Timmy, the Christmas Edition! ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿปโค๏ธ

Iโ€™m adding his picture here so you can have a little sneak peek. Keep your eyes open for his official November launch!

But for now, Vintage Timmy is officially gone. What an incredible new Gonk World record! Thank you so much, Gonksters. ๐Ÿ’š

Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Guys, you have practically emptied my shop! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š

Thank you so much to everybody who came in today, and thank you for being so patient with me because I am here on my own.

This is my first proper break, the shop is finally empty, and I am trying to restock the shelves. I honestly wish I had filmed a time lapse because you have wiped us out!

We have only four Timmys left, very few Dude Milos and fewer than ten Advent calendars.

Big Bobby is flying out, the British Classics are flying out and the cushions are going too. Wow, guys!

Donโ€™t worry, Iโ€™m absolutely fine and everything is still under control. The shelves may be empty, but Iโ€™m still standing! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank goodness we have more stock on the way. Thank you so much for supporting us! ๐Ÿ’š

If you canโ€™t visit us, you can shop on Etsy here www.gonkworld.co.uk ๐Ÿ’šโ˜Ž๏ธ๐Ÿ›Ž๏ธ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ›’๐Ÿ›’

Want to collect the British Classics from the very beginning? This is where it starts, guys! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ’š

Quite a few of you have been messaging, so Iโ€™m putting all the information here.

All five original characters from my signature British Classic Collection are now available on Etsy, and we can post them directly to you.

Some are already running low. We do have more stock on the way, but once those final batches are gone, they are gone. I wonโ€™t be remaking this collection because next September Iโ€™m planning to introduce brand-new British Classic characters.

So, if you want to build your collection from the very beginning, these are the first five you need!

Timmy the Teapot is also becoming a special collection of his very own. There will be only 14 versions of Timmy to collect altogether.

The original vintage Timmy is the very first. A Christmas Special is coming this Christmas, followed by one new themed Timmy every month next year.

We already have plans for winter, Valentineโ€™s Day, Motherโ€™s Day, blossom, a special Gonk World edition and plenty more surprises throughout the year.

Once the final Timmy is released next December, the collection will be complete. There wonโ€™t be any more, so all 14 will become part of one finished collectible series.

The Etsy link is in the comments. Get your orders in while the original British Classics are still available! ๐Ÿ’š

Good morning, Gonksters! Happy Saturday! ๐Ÿ’š

Sometimes one week can make such a difference to a small business.

Last week felt like one challenge after another, and at times it honestly felt as though everything was falling apart.

This week has definitely not been calm, but it has been positive, exciting and our best week since moving to Warrington.

Welcome to the life of an entrepreneur! One day everything is chaotic, and the next it feels calm. One day you feel on top of the world and ready to climb mountains, and another day you question everything and feel ready to give up. That is the honest reality of entrepreneurship, but we keep going. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜Š

You know I always share the real journey with you, including the difficult parts, so it feels only right to share the wonderful moments too.

All of this has happened since last Saturday. Our British Classic post has now reached around 750,000 views. ๐Ÿ‘€At the same time, two Australian comedians posted their funny video of my Gonk Mobile, which also went viral.

Dave Berry and the Absolute Radio team then picked up the story, Warrington Worldwide continued sharing our journey, and Aaron, who is currently appearing in the live shows of The Voice, continued supporting us too.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š

Then I posted the simplest little video of Kristoff showing our Advent calendar box. That video has now received more than half a million views on TikTok and another 100,000 on Facebook, helping our calendars fly out!๐Ÿ’š

Together, these moments have brought Gonk World well over three million views in just one week. I think it is safe to say the Gonk Mobile advertising was worth it! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Those viral moments have already opened two more doors for us. Two lovely ladies from the media have contacted me. One will be visiting us next week, and the other is working on a little story. I will update you when I can!

This support has made our Etsy shop busier than ever and helped it reach its highest ranking so far. At least 150 orders have gone out since Thursday, with around 70 sent in one day alone. Our calendars are nearly sold out, and all five gonks from our British Classic Collection have been incredibly popular.

We have sent a few little gifts to say thank you, but I also want to thank every single one of you. This kind of publicity is something we could never afford to buy. It has made this month a little easier and is helping our small shop remain on the high street.

I will be in the shop myself today, and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing many of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If the shop becomes busy, please be patient with me. I promise I will look after everyone as quickly as I can. ๐Ÿ’š

I also want to give a huge shout-out to Emma, who helped me find the correct contact details and address for Absolute Radio so we could send the team a little gift to say thank you. Thank you so much, Emma! ๐Ÿ’š

A big thank you also goes to Tyler from The Hive, who was more than happy to appear in another video for us.

Honestly, we have received so much support from so many different people this week. Whether you filmed, shared, helped behind the scenes or simply cheered us on, you have all played a part in this incredible week, and we appreciate every one of you. ๐Ÿ’š
