We had a great time at the Festive Pop-Up Shop in Birmingham in the run up to Xmas. We had a few regular customers pop in so it was good to put names to faces! Plus being next to the German Xmas Market ensured everyone was in a suitably festive mood!

We’re now gearing up for the coming year, with new stock in all the time. Check it out on the website…

In the meantime here’s a few items that we have on offer to warm your dark winter days…

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth!

These cupcake money pots and doughnut trinket pots are good enough to make you forget that New Years diet but without the calories!  A real steal at £1 each!

Sale!

Check out our sale & clearance section for lots of great items, including these cute reindeer party lights – so kitsch that they’d make a great year round addition to your home!
Why not add a bit of Mexican flare to your kitchen with these sugar skull magnets?
And why leave out your wardrobe?  Try the Delores Flores Top which when teamed up with theFlores Belle Skirt  looks great as a dress!

Happy new years!
