✨SANTA'S MAGIC WISHING COIN (for true believers) ✨

I'm finally releasing these beauties today! (and I'm very proud of them!)

I designed them myself and then had them specially made to trial out this year. They are totally exclusive to Vintage Twee and really are one of a kind ✨

These Wishing Coins are created from a gold acrylic disc with beautiful fluted edges and engraved wording. I added a gold tassel for an extra special touch and they come presented in a dark red velvet drawstring bag. They measure approx 5cm in diameter.

They are the perfect addition to Christmas Eve boxes or to leave as a gift from Santa on Christmas morning as a thanks for his mince pie or cookie! 🎅

As I'm just trialing them this year, I do only have a limited amount which is the only bad news! So they are a bit like an Aldi Special Buy - once they're gone, they're gone!

These magical Wishing Coins are £7 each and can be collected from me in Glossop or posted for £1.50.

If you would like one, please let me know as soon as possible by sending me a message 💌

Thank you!

Every year I create these special letters, I laugh, smile - and sometimes cry - at the things that our kids ask Santa for on Christmas morning. The contents of their little minds never ceases to amaze (and amuse!) me and I often wonder if a) their parents actually manage to pull off their requests and b) how the hell do they explain why Santa couldn't bring them an AK 47 assault rifle...🙈

I always love to share some of my favourites with you so, as promised, here is the list of weird, wonderful and downright hilarious gift requests that I've received so far for Santa from our crazy little humans!

🎅 A trip to the moon
🎅 A bar of gold
🎅 A HDMI cable
🎅 A new set of teeth
🎅 A stick
🎅 One of the reindeer's 'hoofs'
🎅 A drone to spy on the neighbours
🎅 Mature stuff
🎅 Cheese
🎅 A later bedtime
🎅 A real elf
🎅 A hampster
🎅 A ham sandwich (mine)

Next time, I'll be revealing the Parent Typos from those who have obviously filled in their personalisation form AFTER they've hit the Baileys..🤦‍♀️

Don't forget! The last date to return your personalisation forms is Monday 2nd December. I'm still taking orders for the letters for a couple more weeks before the books close, so drop me a message if you'd like one for your little darlings! 😇😈

09/11/2024

Just a really quick post today to remind you that the last order date for my personalised reply Letters from Santa is Monday 2nd December 🎅

If you have already ordered your letter, please kindly ensure that your response form is returned by this date also 🙏

As usual, the gift requests I've seen from children this year (including mine...) hasn't failed to disappoint on the amusement scale - I'll share some with you next week! 😂

They are £9.50 each - postage is £1.50 (regardless of how many you order) or free collection from Glossop.

TO ORDER:
Just pop me a message across with:
🎅 how many letters you'd like

Thank you and have a lovely weekend!

Keeping it in the family here at VT! 🫶

This Christmas, I will be collaborating with my wonderfully talented 8 year old niece, Bonnie, (a real budding entrepreneur and my creative partner in crime!) and we'll be gifting one of her festive loom bands with every order received! 🎅

Vintage Twee and Music Light Jewellery are a match made in craft heaven and I wholeheartedly wanted to support her new venture. So, I've invested in a stock of these beauties to give away in the name of true Christmas spirit! Swipe to see photos👉❤️

Don't forget, my website is no more so you can view all my Christmas products on my Etsy and Not on the High Street online shops or DM me to order if you know what you want!

01/10/2024

I'm BACK! And just in time to sprinkle some magic for Christmas 🧑‍🎄✨️

Things are a little different this year to ease me back in after a looong time off - I no longer have a website to order from but everything I'm currently offering is listed on my Etsy and Not on the High Street shops.

I'll also be putting all my Christmas products on my social media pages too so you can order direct by just sending me a DM (it's a little cheaper this way too..ssshhh...🤫)

If you're already on my list to order a Santa letter and anything else, I'll be in touch this week 🧑‍🎄😊

You can see the whole range of what I'm creating this year on the photos, along with a price list and how to order - just swipe 👉

PLUS... keep your eyes peeled for a BRAND NEW magical addition to my Christmas 2024 range that will be sure to take your child's breath away...👀

It's good to be back ❤️

🎅 CHRISTMAS ORDERS ✨

As you may have noticed, Vintage Twee has been shut for the past few months while I recovered from an operation. I've been getting a few enquiries about my personalised Santa Letters and just wanted to let everyone know they will be available to order from Monday 30th September!

If you want to be placed on the priority list, please pop a comment on this post - I'll then add you to my list and drop you a message when I'm ready for the onslaught ha! (seriously, I have physio today to limber up..) 😂

IMPORTANT INFO:
There have been a few changes to VT while I've been off, the main one being that I've had to sacrifice my website - unfortunately it was just too much work/expense running this and the one for my coaching business.

From now until December, I will just be offering my Christmas range via FB and my Not on the High Street and Etsy shop. The following items will be available (prices on the photos)

🎅Personalised Letter From Santa with Wax Seal
🎅Personalised Scratch Off Nice List Certificates
🎅Elf Arrival Letters
🎅Children's Christmas Eve Kit
🎅Festive Scratch Card Holders
🎅Origami Santa Challenge Family Christmas Game
🎅Letter from Santa Kit
🎅'merry christmas' Party Picks

PLUS....✨✨✨
🎅 a VERY special new product that will blow your mind and transform ever the most skeptical of children into believers. It is possibly THE most magical thing I've created (dare I say it?!) EVER. It will be available in December so watch this space!

Thank you and I'm excited to be back in time to make some magical memories for all our little ones! ✨

What a review. Every year I have the privilege to work with the Manchester Princess Parties Ltd team on their annual Fairytale Ball at Shrigley Hall Hotel & Spa. I loved creating these mini message in a bottle favours for this year's 'Under the Sea' theme ball - it was a real show stopper and was just the most magical experience for our little ones (mine included!)

Check out these wonderful words about little old me from the director of the company herself! ❤

Some of you may noticed that I've been off the grid for a few months now and Vintage Twee had been shut while I've been recovering from a massive operation.

The good news is 1) I made it out alive and 2) I will be reopening again in September for Christmas orders! So rest assured the Letters from Santa will be back for the third year running 😁🎅

However, never one to sit on my arse and do absolutely nothing...I started a podcast while I've been off! 🎙

It's actually doing pretty well - so far, I'm being listened to in 22 different countries and I even made it I to the Apple podcast charts a couple of weeks back 🎉

BUT I need the help of Vintage Twee's loyal fans - I'm entering into the British Podcast Awards for the 'Listener's Choice' award and could really do with a few more votes as I'm losing to a bunch of business men 🤣

I don't know what it's like in your house, but the most common 3 words I hear every day from my daughter are 'LET'S PRETEND MUMMY!' 😬🤣 (scroll down to see the other contenders for top spot..)

✨️This year's Dragons and Unicorns themed Easter Hunt Kit is perfect for kids with active imaginations, I'm creating them until next week so if you'd like one, please do let me know asap!

The beautiful dragon and unicorn chocolate biscuit eggs are by the wonderful The Biscuit Days 🥚

👆 Visit link below to take you straight to them on my website:

https://vintagetwee.co.uk/store/Dragons-and-Unicorns-Personalised-Childrens-Easter-Egg-Hunt-Kit-p628145509

Other 3 word phrases most commonly heard in our house are:

😬 'I'm SO hungry'
😬 'Snack mummy please!'
😬 'I'm STILL hungry'
😬 'Is it teatime?'
😬 'what's for dessert?'
😬 'I NEEEEEED YOU!'
😬 'I'm not tired'

Just about sums up my day and I'm sure plenty of other mums too!

Happy 1st March! (though the miserable weather says otherwise here..) ☔️

Just an important notice to let you know Vintage Twee will be closing for a little while in 2 weeks time so if you'd like to order a Dragons and Unicorns Easter Hunt Kit, they will be available for a short time only. This is just to make sure I've got enough time to complete them all before I shut as I don't want to let anyone down!✨️🦄🐲

👆 Follow the link to take you straight to my website to purchase yours, don't forget if you're local to Glossop you can still order on there and just choose local pick up at checkout to save postage costs 😊

Following on from my last post, when my 4 year old Easter party pooper pointed out that dragons and unicorns don't live in Glossop..I thought I'd play it safe and do this one while she was in nursery 🤣

In my world, the Easter Bunny can write letters, tie bows and operate a wax seal stamper. Anything is possible in your child's beautiful imagination!

Who's with me?! Tap the photo to get yours and bring some magic into your home this Easter! ✨️🐰🥚

Everyone needs a product tester when you create something new. And they don't come more honest than a 4 year old...

The verdict on my new Dragons and Unicorns Easter Hunt Kit, as tried and tested by my daughter: "I loved it mummy but, you know, dragons and unicorns don't live in Glossop so why are we looking for them?" 🤦‍♀️

Wish I hadn't asked.

Tap the photos to get your magical kit and send your kids on a wild goose chase apparently... ✨️🐲🦄

I don't normally post on a Saturday night. But it's been a looooong day of parenting here today - you know the kind I mean, where time stands still and possibly even goes backwards - and I needed to do something other than make snacks, play doctors or watch Peppa Pig.

So as I lie here in the dark, wishing my 4 year old to just stop talking and go to sleep so I can watch Gladiators with a much needed glass of red, I remembered I forgot to say that my Dragons and Unicorns Easter Hunt Kits will only be available to purchase for the next 3 weeks as I'll be closing for a little while after then.

If you're local and want to collect yours, you can now order on my website and choose 'Local Pickup' at checkout 😊
