Week 2 on the blogosphere! Re-branding ideas are slowly coming to fruition and the labours of all the past few weeks hard work are paying off. And it has been f**king hard work. New website elements are being designed and stored ready to update the website in one night (instead of shutting it down completely) and I am just in the middle of tweaking SEO and keywords and seeing how I can really drive traffic to the website. I am aiming to have a very busy Christmas this year and preparations have already started with new products, stock and general planning,...

Ok, so its time to admit it: in the past 3 years of running a business I've just been winging it! The thought of re-branding did creep into my head about a year ago.

A Christmas stocking is traditionally a sock that is left empty on Christmas eve so Santa can fill it with small toys, candy and other little gifts.

Hi! Thought I'd better drop by with a quick update whilst I am updating the website and messing about here behind the scenes... After the Father's Day rush subsided and a fab summer has been and gone, its now on with *duh duh duhhhhhh* ... Christmas prep. No joke. Its time to get organised and this cannot wait until the last minute either. Fail to prepare then prepare to fail! New products designed back in March, its time to stock up and get certain processes in order before my busiest time of the year. Fingers crossed it will be as...

SO its all a bit go go go at the mo! I am trying to keep all the relevant plates spinning in the run up to the next biggest gifting occasion since Christmas, yep, FATHERS DAY! As i started out selling on other platforms before my own, I have been dispatching orders from the Squiffy website, my Etsy store and also my notonthehighstreet shop. I am basically hated in the post office some days. :/  Another little thing, one of my products is on a NATIONAL TV ADVERT! You can watch this bad boy here and guess which one it is! Next...
