What's in the Pipeline: New Products and Events

At the moment, I'm working on some fun things! Last year was such a constant grind that I don’t think I actually got to launch many new products. So this year, I want to make sure I bring out some really cool new items—and also host some really cool new events! That’s right, this year I’m giving events a go too, which I am so buzzing about!

New Products in the Works

Here are a few exciting things currently in development:

- Be Yourself T-Shirt

We’ve done the jumpers since the start of this journey, so why we don’t do t-shirts—I don’t know! But as soon as they launch, make sure you get one in your basket so you don’t miss out!

- Embroidered Floral Sweatshirt

Picture this: vanilla sweatshirt, super soft, cosy cuffed sleeves, and the cute floral design that already exists on tumblers—embroidered on the front. Maybe with some writing... I’m still playing with the design on this one!

- Explore Collection Expansion

The Lake District hoodie launched late last year, although Christmas totally stole its spotlight ahah. I’ll be adding “Snowdon,” “The Three Peaks,” and a few others. So if you’re a hiker, keep your eyes peeled!

- Retro Tumbler

Yep, there’s a retro tumbler in the making!

Got ideas for new products? I’d love to hear them! Drop me a message on any of my social media platforms or send me a WhatsApp.

Introducing Events!

At the end of last year, I started dipping my toes into events. I launched my own networking group for local business owners to meet up. It’s completely free to come along. I’ve loved connecting with new people, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing other business owners connect with each other. So far, it’s been great, and I can’t wait to see where this new road takes me in terms of bringing businesses together. I’ve already made a page on my website where people can see which businesses are already taking part.

Upcoming Event Ideas

Off the back of running the networking event, I was asked if I’d be interested in hosting a “Sip and Paint” group—which I’d actually never heard of before. But it’s painting on the piss. And I LOVE IT! Of course I said yes. I’ve been offered the space to do other events too, so here’s a little insight into some of the ideas I’ve got in the pipeline:

- Make your own home décor with macramé classes

- Become a weaver and create your own rug

- Create a t-shirt with organic cottons

- Workwear opening (with 30% off logo design)

- Jewellery making classes—create a tree of life or a crystal-wrapped necklace

- Pints and plants: come for a pint, leave with a plant

- Soap making

- Vision board creating

- Paint and Sip, of course

If you’re local, I’d love to see you there. Let me know what you think of these ideas or if there’s anything else you’d like me to consider.

A Brilliant Start to the Year

So far, it’s been an amazing start to the year. We’ve already done so much. I’ve exceeded my expected January sales, which was a huge relief. I went to my first Spring Fair—one of the UK’s largest retail events. I found some amazing suppliers, and fingers crossed, one day I won’t just be a visitor.

I hit a £600 order, which for this time of year hasn’t happened before! Previously, my larger orders usually came around July and again in December. So this early in the year has definitely been a really positive thing.

I’ve already had numerous requests for custom orders and a lovely amount of reviews—thank you guys for those! I visited a local secondary school to inspire children to think about career paths and talk about how to put a CV together. My fiancé launched his new business, and I made his workwear. I changed venues for the networking group, and we met amazing new members. I sponsored our local football teams, and it’s the coolest thing seeing all the kids run around with mini logos.

There’s been so much to be thankful for—and so much more to look forward to.

Thanks for being here, and stay tuned!
