March

Hi to all our customers,

I hope February was a great month for you! March is finally here, and I’m hoping for some sunshine and better weather. It’s been raining a lot lately, so I’m looking forward to some warmer days.

March is a month full of birthdays and reasons to celebrate, including baby showers. But let’s not forget that Mother’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday, the 30th. Whether you’re a mum or have a mum-like figure in your life, we’ve got the perfect presents for you.

In memory of the mothers who have been taken from us, we recommend purchasing something special to honour them. Whether it’s a wind chime or a figure, we understand that every mother is precious and deserves our respect.

Stay safe and shine bright!

Love, Milly xo

October Already?

Hey everyone, I’m excited about the upcoming autumn and the cooler months ahead, especially as we lead up to Christmas. I love the fashion in the autumn layers are always so stylish!

Our Clearance page has been a hit with many of our wonderful customers, who have seized the opportunity to find great deals. Cheers to all the bargain hunters out there!

I am thrilled with the response to our pangolin vase! We were amazed by how quickly they sold out, and we’re working diligently to restock them as soon as possible. Thank you for your incredible support!

It seems like just yesterday that I was working on the July blog, but time is flying by so quickly. I can’t believe how fast it’s going. In case you missed it, we’ve restocked the Roy Kirkham ranges that is always so popular among our customers. Also, I know it may seem early, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about Christmas shopping!

We are genuinely grateful for the support from every customer who has chosen Animal Gifts. Your support has been instrumental in helping our small online shop thrive, and we are truly thankful for making a positive impact on our journey. Thank you.

love always,

September Blog

As the summer warmth gives way to the gentle embrace of autumn, September arrives, bringing a sense of renewal and change. In this month’s edition, we dive into the heart of this transformative season, exploring themes of growth, reflection, and preparation. From the latest giftware to personal insights and seasonal tips, we’re here to guide you through the wonders of September. Join us as we bid farewell to the carefree days of summer and welcome the cosy, introspective vibes of the cooler months. Let’s make this September one to remember, filled with learning, inspiration, and meaningful connections.

Exploring the New Wave of Ceramics and Mugs
As the season changes and the air turns cooler, we can’t help but be grateful for cosy jumpers and steaming cups of our favourite beverages. We’re excited to introduce a fresh collection of mugs and some delightful additions from the Quail ceramics range to make your moments even more special.

Let’s not overlook the timeless elegance of Roy Kirkham’s exquisite floral cups and saucers, which boast a delightful and charming aesthetic.

Let’s always remember to show kindness to others and the planet. One way we can do this is by making a conscious effort to recycle whenever possible. By recycling, we can help reduce waste and minimize our impact on the environment. We must take individual responsibility and contribute to making a positive difference for our planet.

August Blog

The past month has flown by, and we’re now in August! While I’ll miss the long summer evenings, I look forward to embracing autumn fashion. I love layering up for the new season.

As my mum, Karen, works diligently to fulfill orders, I’m focusing on crafting the August blog. There’s a lot to share with everyone – while my health isn’t the best, I find joy in the arrival of new products. Speaking of which, we have delightful new additions to our inventory, from charming dog bowls to even more captivating hare statues that effortlessly enhance the cosiness of any room.

Make sure to take a look at our latest clearance section! If you’re someone who enjoys discovering fantastic deals, this is the place for you. Once items are gone from the clearance page, they won’t be coming back. So, act fast and grab a great bargain before it’s too late!

My mum, Karen Jane, has dedicated countless hours to honing her skills as an artist and her hard work has truly paid off. She has poured her creativity and passion into her drawings, creating truly stunning pieces that captivate the eye and touch the soul. If you’re interested in owning a one-of-a-kind piece of art, you’ll be happy to know that she is now accepting commissions. Don’t miss the chance to bring a unique and breathtaking work of art into your life!

Also we must not forget to recycle packaging and I mean all of it!

July Blog

Oh July already, this year has passed swiftly, particularly with the numerous appointments that have filled my schedule. For those who may be unfamiliar, I manage Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, BPD, and Fibromyalgia, among other health conditions. I am deeply appreciative of my Mum’s assistance in fulfilling the numerous orders we have received, but also always guiding me, also I must thank every customer for their continued support.

I try to write a new blog post every month, and I’ve been keeping up with this goal. It’s really exciting to see all the new ideas we’re coming up with at Animal Gifts and watch them turn into reality.

An example is our new clearance page where we sell end-of-line products and bargains. Keep looking, as it is ever-changing.

As well as ensuring that all items are in stock and ready for sale, it’s essential to highlight the arrival of our new products. We are continuously searching for items that will delight and satisfy our valued customers.

Whether it’s our new flamingos and geese or our strong-selling items like Roy Kirkham cups and saucers, plus Quail Ceramics we do aim to please so have a browse and remember our packaging from tape to nuggets is all ready for the recycling bin.

Mother’s Day

Hi everyone,

It’s been more than a while since I’ve done a blog post so I will now be doing one for every month.

If you don’t know Animal Gifts is run by my mum Karen and I. We make the perfect mother-daughter duo.

So Mother’s Day is coming up so I thought I’d give you all some clue into what would make a perfect gift for those who love anything floral.

From Quail Ceramics we have Daisy the white cat who I promise does have ears but loves wearing flowers in her hair.

As well as wall vases we stock a lovely range of breakfast cups and saucers, you can never go wrong with these.

New Year

Happy New year from all of us at Animal Gifts. I really hope you’ve all had a lovely festive period and start to 2023. So far we have been really merrily trotting along into the new year. As I write this I’m sitting by the fire with the Head of FR (Feline Resources) Margot. Having a lovely cup of tea from one of our Roy Kirkham Breakfast Cups and Saucers, I really love these cups, they’re that perfect mix of delicate and dainty, but also big enough to have a proper cup of tea in them.

January is a difficult time for so many of us, with the darker mornings and evenings, and the bitter cold snap that we are going through here at the moment. Though that is perfect for all the night owls out there. If you have a night owl with a birthday coming up, our owl vases are the perfect gift. But if the dark is getting you down, never fear, evoke much sunnier climes with this koala vase. You might not be in the Australian sun, but what’s the harm in bringing one of Australia’s cutest citizens into your home? If you are gifting any of your purchases, check out our unique and beautiful gift wrap from Amelia Florence. 

I find that the winter months are the perfect time to snuggle up with a book, but me being me I find myself reading several books at the same time. So if you are like me it might be worth picking up a few of our delightful bookmarks so that you never lose your place in the story ever again. Not only that, I find that these bookmarks are an excellent way to brighten commutes and might spark one of those rare but lovely phenomenons, the conversation with a stranger on a train. Nothing brings me more joy in these winter months than through brief moments of connection as you go about your daily life.

   

Maybe like me, you have set a new years resolution to write more, whether that be journaling, blogs or letter writing. I find sprucing up my writing space at the beginning of the year really helps with that, our stationary section has really helped there. Our range of paperweights has made my desk a much nicer place to be, maybe it can do the same for you.  

Looking forward to spring, if you’re looking for inspiration for your garden do cast your eye over our garden section, it might be the place you find the piece that you can build your garden around, or perfect the vision you already have for your garden. 

Hanging basket brackets are one of our best sellers we have many designs available.

Until next time, stay safe, and happy shopping, 

Milly
