Almost done with our busiest online Valentines week ever, following on from our busiest January online ever?! To say I'm exhausted is an understatement, but very happy that all orders are now dispatched, bar a couple of Bristol addresses which I'm delivering myself tomorrow ๐Ÿšš If you don't receive Royal Mail tracking email by tonight drop me an email (with your postcode!) as some peoples spam filters are munching them up. โฃ

The webshop is still open for dispatch Tuesday, after which I'll be taking a little break for some R&R (and DIY ๐Ÿ˜’).โฃ

I'm blown away by the number of orders we've had since releasing our Veganuary VEGANG discount - has been busier than the lead up to Christmas! ๐Ÿคฏ I'm sure things will level out but honestly I'm so grateful for the boost this has given my little business at the start of another tough few months ๐Ÿ’•โฃ

ICYMI you can nab a whole 20% off our entire website with code VEGANG until January 31st. The huge number of orders we received in the first 48hrs means I'm working on a 5-7 day dispatch time (I reckon this'll be quicker, just being overly cautious and sourcing certain ingredients is getting rough again!)โฃ

I'm so excited! I expected it to be cancelled along with everything else this year but on SUNDAY my bubble (@darthanxious_ ) and I are heading back to Leeds Kirkgate for the Great Yorkshire Vegan Market with @veganevents_uk - this was so much fun in August and I'm stoked to get to see customers face to face again, I've missed it so much ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’•
๐ŸŒ UNWRAP JOY๐ŸŒ  I am OVER. THE. MOON. with our ๐ŸŒ UNWRAP JOY๐ŸŒ 

I am OVER. THE. MOON. with our new tissue paper! It should have been here months ago in time for Halloween but the universe had other plans, but I can't be mad when it's so beautiful! My fave is the moth* but it changes every day ๐Ÿ™ƒ WHATS YR FAVE? ๐Ÿ„

LAST ORDER DATES: Our last posting week will be from 15th-21st December and its filling up SUPER FAST. If you've been holding off placing your order, get a wriggle on! The website will be kept open but orders placed after 15th December may not be guaranteed for delivery before Christmas as we need to prioritise our pre-order customers ๐Ÿ–ค Heads up: brownies will need to be refrigerated or frozen if they're for 'The Big Day' itself, which is lucky cos then you can have them hot or eat them frozen like a choc ice ๐Ÿคญ

Whizz me an email or DM if you have any queries, but please be patient, I will get back to you I'm just flying solo and up to my eyeballs in brownies and boxes! 

LOVE YA, UR THE BEST, Gem x

I'll say my usual guff about Black Fri. There's always a lot of back-and-forth, including boycotts and some biz shaming. While I agree with the broadly anti-consimerist message I disagree with thinking less of businesses who do choose to take part. I handmake every single item to order, which means we don't have a stockpile of 'stuff' ready to be discounted, we really don't make much money once you take off the discount, PayPal fees, ingredients, time etc. HOWEVER! We have been participating since we opened the website (5 yrs this month, HBD webshop!) and understand that it's a great time for our lush loyal customers to grab a bargain during a very hard time at a very expensive time of year, AND to encourage people who have wanted to buy our goodies for ages but haven't been able to, for whatever reason, at the full price. I'll be buying from small businesses during this period, and as much as I'd bloody love to pay full price for everything, times is tough and a little discount goes a long way. 

We live in a capitalist society, love it or loath it, and I do believe in literally putting your money where your mouth is and spending money where it matters. With small businesses. On sustainable items. With local makers. It takes a bit more planning than scrolling through Amazon but it's super worth it. You'll have better quality 'stuff' and you could literally make the difference between a small business making it to 2021 or not (HINT check @bristol.market for some ideas!) 

Just because I'm participating with Black Friday doesn't align me with Jeff fking Bezos, it aligns me with the other small businesses who are using it to kick start the final pre-Christmas push before we close our diaries and wonder what the heck 2021 has in store.

Spend money wisely, we'll all love ya for it!

FESTIVE BROOKIE INCOMING

Boozy Double Choc Christmas Pudding Brownie. Gooey Gingerbread Cookie Dough Base.

Maximum Christmas in your cake hole. 

These plus other limited release Festive goodies online later this week, including Christmas pre-order options ๐ŸŒ 
Singlehandedly mixed, rolled, tempered and dipped Singlehandedly mixed, rolled, tempered and dipped almost 500 of these suckers in the last 4 days and, while I'm glad to see the back of them for a while, I'm not-so-secretly planning a limited release ball shaped treat for the festive season. What could it be?! 

These spherical studs have been such a hit since they launched during lockdown and the order comments never fail to make me crack up ('my husband can't stop talking about your balls' a personal fave). Our Halloween Boxes had a Truffle Ball Roulette trio in as standard, but loads of you added an extra 10 on top, and in one case, an extra 30 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ณ (Thank you for all the Halloween box tags, I love seeing them arrive with you!๐ŸŽƒ)

I'm stoked that what started as a joke product to satisfy my idiot South Park humour has gone down so well, even if it's just for the ball puns ๐Ÿ–ค 

Love ya, thanks for keeping me busy, and, as always, TAG A MATE WHO LOVES BALLS โคต๏ธ
