Trending Products 2023
Happy December 1st everyone, it's officially time to step in to Christmas....
So as we welcome in the festive season, it's that time of year when we look back on what a year we've had and which of our products have been popular amongst our loyal customers as well as a sneak peek to what it coming in 2024...
1. Baby Shower Signing Sheets. As a cute alternative to our standard Baby Shower Guest Books, customers have loved, loved, loved our baby shower signing sheets at their special events where guests have signed their names in balloons and then had their poster framed for the nursery wall. Such a thoughtful and sentimental gift which has truly been big business for us this year.
2. Mushrooms! Yes mushrooms! Whether it's shiitake, oyster or cute toadstools, you guys have been buying anything with mushrooms on in your droves this season. From baby shower themes, to woodland wild one parties and even wedding table plans featuring every kind of fungi you can imagine, this year we have seen it all. We've even taken some very unusual requests for table plan themes featuring mushrooms....
3. Pets! We do love our pets and as dog owners ourselves, we totally get how they are so much more than 'just a pet.' To be fair, we spend more on our dog's grooming than the rest of the family put together, and let's just say, we are not the only ones opening an advent calendar today... From puppy milestone cards to puppy's first Christmas, this season has seen you all pampering pooches and favouring felines with your choices of personalised pet gifts. This continues to be a big trend for 2024 too.
4. Contemporary weddings. Anything minimalist has always been a big thing for a wedding theme - whether it's minimalist monochrome or one colour theming, we have seen this trend grow this year, nearly as much as everyone's obvious love for every shade of green!
5. And lastly, hot to trot for 2023 has been the Share a Memory card and Condolence Books for funerals. Our personalised condolence memory cards and books have been very popular this year for use at the funeral, wake or celebration of life service. Customers have reported to these being a treasure snapshot of the day in memory of their lost loved one.
We thank you most sincerely for your purchases in 2023 and look forward to sharing our new products with you early in 2024, though we can confirm that some of the new season 2024 wedding trends will include...
ABUNDANT FLORALS, VINTAGE PHOTO STATIONERY and HOT PINK... Watch this space...
Best wishes as always, Ems xx
