Kids Parties..

Stuck for ideas to keep the little ones entertained at your kids Birthday Party? Well here is a helping hand.. Christmas Crackers have been a part of Brits festivities every year.

We have looked into what kids want at their parties and created a range that will keep all the guests entertained – Kids and Adults too that is! Check out a few designs we have below or click on the link to see the full range:

It's nearly Easter..

Looking for ways to host the perfect Easter Dinner Party?.. Or perhaps ways to keep the kids entertained during their time off.. Well who said Crackers are just for Christmas?! After a successful first year our Easter collection returns.. Filled with extra special gifts they will add the final touch to any Easter table setting.

We have introduced a brand new design this year – Our rather cute Easter Bunny Crackers.  These crackers are handmade here in Dorset using paper which has been illustrated by Ross Shiers. They contain a hat, snap, joke and Easter gift. We also have these crackers available in minis with 9 crackers per tray they are perfect during teas & coffees at the dinner party. Each cracker contains a hat, snap, joke and chocolate mini eggs.

We also have our Speckled Hen crackers which have a speckled egg print finished with caramel satin bows and filled with milk, dark and white chocolate organic hens! These crackers also contain a hat, snap seasonal Easter Joke.

Next our Easter Make n Bake crackers which have been extremely popular already this year. These beautiful bright crackers are made with recycled paper and tied with raffia. Each cracker is filled with cooking gifts and recipes – the flapjack one was one of the favourites! These crackers can actually be used all year round as they are not themed but we thought they would be a nice little treat at Easter.

All of our Easter crackers are lovingly handmade here in Dorset by our specialist team. Check out our Easter Cracker page for more information

RSPCA FUNDRAISING DAY

Our charity for the first 3 months of the year is RSPCA so we thought what better way to raise money for this fantastic charity than to dress as an animal! The idea was pitched to the team and was given the go! So yesterday was official animal day in the office. Check out the pictures below..

We have Gemma the leopard, Hayley the Bear, Pip the Wolf, Jane the second bear, Michelle the Tiger and Paul the Shark!

Each staff member who dressed up donated money and this will be added to the final total for RSPCA! Take a look at their website below to see how you can help - http://www.rspca.org.uk/home
