Royal Mail strikes and what we’re doing (UPDATED)

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:26:06 +0000

Royal Mail workers have voted in favour of national strikes.

We have therefore taken the following action with immediate effect:

All orders over £30 will be sent free of charge using DHL
until further notice.

Of course we still offer standard First Class delivery for £1.95 for orders below £12, and free standard First Class delivery for orders over £12 for customers who don’t need their orders quickly. On advice from Royal Mail, we will not be posting orders with standard delivery (which are sent by first class mail) on strike days to avoid it these getting caught in the backlog and we advise you to do the same.

More information on the industrial action is available at http://www.royalmail.com/serviceupdate

Lizzie Shirt Autumn/Winter 09 available for pre-ordering now.

admin — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:32:20 +0000

The Lizzie Shirt Autumn/Winter 2009 range is available for pre-ordering now, and absolutely scrummy it is too! As always Lizzie Shirt has designed 4 ranges: Carousel and Firebird for girls, Beano and Ramble for boys.

Lizzie Shirt childrenswear is designed and made in the UK, on the waterfront in Falmouth. The business operates from a Cornish sail-loft. The name ‘Lizzie Shirt’ originates from an eccentric local character who lived in the Falmouth area towards to the end of the 19th century. ‘Lizzie Shirtie’, a pedlar, was popular with local children, selling sweets and treats from her big basket at the town’s fairs and festivals.

We expect to receive the collection in early September 2009. As always when you pre-order with us, if you pay by credit/debit card your card will not be charged unti the goods are ready for despatch (though please bear in mind that if you use Paypal the monies will leave your account immediately).

Sleepytot Bunny Baby Comforter - the end of sleepless nights?

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 14:00:05 +0000

We are delighted to welcome the Award Winning Sleepytot Bunny Baby Comforter to The Flower Shop.

This soft and strokeable Bunny with satin ears for extra texture is designed to adapt to baby’s changing needs. He has velcro paws enabling you to attach baby’s favourite things (such as dummies or a comfort blanket), ideal for when baby wakes in the night looking for his/her dummy or blanket. In fact the Millpond International Child Sleep Clinic recommend the Sleepytot Baby Comforter as a way to help older babies find their dummy in the middle of the night so your baby can go back to sleep independently without fully waking… and the whole family can sleep all night. Perfect!

As well as being so very practical the Sleepytot Bunny is bound to become a great favourite with little ones. In fact our chief baby product tester was kissing and cuddling his Sleepytot only hours after they met. But then again, he is VERY cheeky!

Presented in a gift bag with instructions, this makes an lovely new baby gift at £12.99 with free UK p&p and free gift-wrapping - we can even send it to someone else for you if you like.

Super-cool Sunnies & Sun Hats - New Designs

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 13:53:16 +0000

Let’s hope this sun sticks around, gorgeous isn’t it?

So we’ve extended our range of BabyBanz and KidzBanz Sunglasses, now incorporating two superb new ranges. The BabyBanz and KidzBanz Retro Sunglasses range have bigger lenses than the original Banz and look so cool on little faces! Meanwhile JBanz wrap-around sunglasses are designed for older children (4-10 years).

Plus there are new BabyBanz and KidzBanz Sun Hat colours available including red, green, orange stripe, fuscia floral… in two sizes from 0-2 years or 2-5 years.

If you’re in a hurry for your sunglasses and sun hats because you’re going on holiday next week then we’d recommend paying £4.95 for UK Special Delivery - if you get your order in by 3pm Monday-Friday your order will go to the front of the queue and you’ll have it the next day.

If you’re not in so much of a a rush, remember we post first class for free over £12 in the UK and we will still aim to get your order out within 2 working days of receiving it.

If you spot something you like in the Banz range and it seems to be out of stock then do ask to be notified when it’s back in stock as we have Banz deliveries once or twice a week throughout the summer months.

And enjoy the sunshine!

Fancy some lovely brights, stripes, rainbows & polka dots?

admin — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:27:03 +0000

Well look no further, we’ve got the Brights and Stripes in.

These knock-your-eyes-out-gorgeous rompers, blankets and pyjamas are just the thing to brighten your day. And for the footed romper fans amongst us, Brights and Stripes are just perfect!

All designed in the UK, the range washes happily at 40°C and won’t fade due to the print and dye processes used. The fabric combination of 95% cotton and 5% lycra means every garment will stay in its original shape, whilst fitting perfectly and giving a bit of a stretch. As Brights & Stripes say: "We want our clothes to go on looking great into the future".

We all live in an organic Yellow Submarine.

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:09:39 +0000

The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine recently celebrated its 40 year anniversary. What better way to mark this occasion than a release of super-cool fabulously wonderful tops in lovely organic cotton?

The Beatles Yellow Submarine Collection by Organic designer Green Eyed Monster features unusual stills from the film including the main Yellow Submarine design as well as images taken from the Sea of Science section and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Green Eyed Monster have been working with Jack Stokes, the Art Director from the original The Beatles Yellow Submarine animated feature film, and the results are stunning.

As always with Green Eyed Monster designs, the range has been produced with more than a little concern for the environment using super soft organic cotton and non-toxic dye and print processes.

The Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Smock Top is embellished with ‘diamonds’ from the Crystalline Swarovski Elements range (bling!) which are also Öko-Tex approved.

Check out the fabulous range here.
