Hi all👋🏼

I just wanted to address the radio silence over here…
I’ve been toying with the idea of buying in new stock for new themes, but with the way things are going with rising costs, I’m sadly unable to invest further money and time into the business 😞
I don’t regret any bit of it and I love what I’ve created, even the anxiety-inducing reels! The Boxful gave me focus during lock down on mat leave and I’m proud of what it’s become but boy, running a small business in this climate, alongside a job and raising a small human is hard, so I’m having some down time.
I’m not sure whether this is the start of a Boxful goodbye or a little hiatus, but in the meantime, its going to be a tad quiet over here whilst I mull things over some more.

✨I’m going to continue with the sale for now to clear the stock (increasing to 30% off), so if you know of anyone that wants a bargain just use the code FLASHSALE (although not so much of a ‘flash’ now!) ✨

Thank you so much for all the support. I’ve appreciated every like, share and sale. ❤️

https://www.theboxful.co.uk/post/how-to-make-an-easy-diy-balloon-garland

Here are 10 simple steps/tips to follow in order to create a professional-looking balloon garland... Firstly, pop a sheet down for your inflated balloons, this stops them attracting dust. You'll have both 11/12 inch balloons, and 5 inch balloons within your kit. Inflate all of the 11/12 inch balloon...

The MEGA Space Boxful 🚀💫

Cake toppers, extra scatter balloons & goody bags all included…

⭐️Tip; cardboard cake stands are a perfect cost-effective way of creating height and interest to your food table (and mini Astronauts are also a great addition!)

I hope it’s been glorious where you are too…

If you’re planning an outdoor celebration, our animal plates look super cute in the sunshine! ⬆️💛

Well, it’s true what they say…

Holidaying with a 2 year old is pretty much like looking after a very tiny drunk person… absolutely cannot be reasoned with, constantly snacking, and always runs off in the opposite direction to stroke dogs.

I’ve heard the word snack approx. 573738478 times and my Google history at 2am read ‘how to get a crying toddler to sleep in a hotel’ 🥴
BUT we had a lovely lovely time! And the best weather 🌞

It’s always good when you find perfect holiday spots with kids, so I’d 100% recommend Sykes Holiday Cottages (named Tom, Dick & Harry) in Blisland, and the dreamy Watergate Bay Hotel.

And now, normal party content will resume!
Thank you for the recent orders, they’ll be sent out this coming week 🥳

17/03/2022

Receiving feedback like this really is appreciated, and so lovely to read! ✨✨

We love putting smiles on little party animals faces 🥳

We’ve had a few new followers recently so thought I’d say hi and inform you of a temporary change in delivery times with a pic of me and my wriggly 2 year old - attempting to get a decent photo!

❤️A warm welcome to The Boxful…
The brand was born out of a desire to make the somewhat stressful party-planning process a far more enjoyable, hassle-free process for time-poor (and extremely frazzled) parents… Keep us in mind for your little one’s birthday, and remember if you don’t see a theme you’d like, we now do custom orders 🥳

I go on holiday in a few days but I may share a few pretty beach stories in amongst the party content… and normal service will resume in April 🤩

This one was made with extra love ☝🏼🧡
For my digger-mad boy 🏗🚜

This weekend reminded me why I started The Boxful…
Planning and putting on a party can be pretty stressful!
Have I done enough food? Have I catered for all the kids? Have I catered for all the grown ups? Will people have fun? 😓
It goes on…

That’s why, as a new mum with little spare time, I thought having the decor & tableware ticked off - themed, sourced and delivered in one box, would make life a hell of a lot easier for all my fellow frazzled parents (and boy, let’s take a bit of convenience where we can eh).

With the Boxful you can keep it simple AND your party focal point can look Insta-ready too - for creating those lasting memories (just as important in our opinion!) ✔️✔️✔️

Just like this one pictured - a custom construction theme…🧡
Which leads me nicely to some news.

We’ll soon be taking custom orders…(YAY!)

This is just one example of what we can do to help you give your little party animal their perfect party 🥳…

DIY decor made easy!

My little boy turned two yesterday and we hosted not one, but two parties at our house for the occasion. 🥳🤪

So today was sponsored by coffee and birthday cake …

Here’s a little cake cheat I’ll share with you… buy 2 x M&S Victoria sponges, sandwich them together with lashings of jam, and cover with lashings of butter cream, et voila - it even looks homemade 😉
(Tip - an oversized cake topper acts as a perfect distraction to take focus away from the messy bits)

[For ease I’d recommend buying the butter cream… we had to whisk it by hand (💪🏼) after realising we’d lent out our electric whisk, so had to borrow an ancient one from our 80yr old neighbours, which incidentally smoked and almost caught fire - I’m about to take round said cake to soften the blow, wish me luck…🤞]

It was so lovely to have family and friends round to celebrate, given his 1st Birthday was in lockdown - I wanted to go all out, so party prep has been the priority this last week, (along with existing orders of course). 🧡

But I’ll be back here posting more party decor inspo and hacks this week along with new additions to the Boxful range 🥳

And of course, I’ll be sharing a behind the scenes video of Woody’s party set up - how could I not!

A statement balloon in your garland can really make your focal point pop!
No need for expensive helium canisters either, simply inflate using a straw (provided), and attach with doubled over tape, nylon wire or glue dots.

TIP! Be sure to keep your foil balloon post party by re-inserting a straw and pressing down to remove the air - flatten and then re-inflate for another celebration!

Sparkly unicorn cake toppers look great in yummy doughnuts too 🍩💕✨

07/02/2022

We include some rather cute masks in both our Jungle and Partysaurus Boxfuls… which make for great photo props under the balloon garland 🦕🦁

💛Create some picture-perfect memories! 📷

05/02/2022

Why not theme your party snacks too… 🥳

⭐️Star gummy sweets
🪐Crisp planets

🛸And removing the red wrappers on Kit Kats is also a nice idea for a ‘Space’ themed party
