  • Love In The Time of Covid – Biscuit By Post

    Posting biscuits and happiness across the UK!

    I was reflecting the other day about the biscuits we have baked over the past 6 months (since lockdown started). I scrolled through the images of all the delicious biscuits we have baked and iced, and I realised that my dream of creating a business that makes people happy is well and truly here!

    We have made such a huge array of biscuits for individuals, companies, team leaders, parents, kids, people living on their own, people wishing they had more privacy and so many, many more. At a time when so many needed isolation gifts, we have been able to send custom and personalised biscuits through the letterbox. And the overwhelming theme has been sending custom biscuits by post to let people know they are loved, thought about, appreciated and missed.

    custom message biscuits

    It has been a privilege to send some of the personal messages on biscuits that children and grandchildren have sent to their isolating parents, messages of strength friends have sent to each other, reminders of better times sent on photo cookies, and sometimes just a simple rainbow biscuit to remind people that this will pass.

    An absolute favourite was a mother who sent a custom biscuit gift by post to her son. He is in his early 20’s and was living alone through lockdown in a flat with no contact with anyone other than through a computer screen. She asked us to create a photo cookie biscuit gift box with images of her son as a (very cute) toddler, with the message “You are amazing, strong and have got this. Never forget that. Love from Baby [Name] from the past”. I have to admit as a mother, this made me well-up slightly, and I felt so privileged that we were helping raise a smile to someone who really needed it.

    We have also worked with lots of companies since their staff were no longer able to work in offices. Managers wanted to find ways to let people know they were appreciated, and recognise that everyone who normally worked together were working apart and in very different circumstances. Another manager wanted to find a way to bring everyone together and recreate the office camerdarie – even if only for an afternoon. We have created everything from branded and customised biscuit gift boxes sent to every team member, through to a single Thank You biscuit and a tea bag to encourage people to have a cup of tea and a biscuit whilst chatting with colleagues. Again, baking custom biscuits to help bring some positivity at difficult time has ben a real privilege.

    So as a small business owner in a rather turbulent year, I feel so proud that we have designed, baked, iced and delivered such an array of amazing, loving, funny, bittersweet and personal messages onto biscuits.

    So just get in touch if you want to find out how we can help you send some custom biscuits by post. I know biscuits can’t fix things, but they do make things just a little bit better!

  • Letterbox Biscuit Gifts – custom biscuits posted straight to your employees

    Well, Coronavirus has certainly changed the way we are all doing things. Colleagues and teams who once saw each other every day now only see each other through screens. And as dates for returning to an office remain under discussion, often employees and staff can feel unsettled.
    It is also important to recognise many of the challenges employees are facing as they work from home. Many people live alone and have barely any interaction with other people in an average day (if at all). Others are home schooling whilst holding down a full-time job. With all these different circumstances and new pressures on our colleagues and friends, small acts to show them they are appreciated take on much significance, and employee wellbeing is so important.

    A Cup of Tea and a Biscuit

    As many of the workforce continue to work from home, or are furloughed, we have been looking at ways we can help keep teams feeling engaged and motivated.

    Now, I am in no way suggesting that biscuits can fix things, but I do know that receiving a biscuit gift through the post to team working from home can really brighten their day, spread a smile and preseve the camaraderie we all took for granted when offices were open.

    We have been creating custom biscuit gifts for some of our clients, and the feedback to date has been wonderful:-

    “Thank you so much. They loved them.”

    “What an amazing idea – it really perked people up.”

    “I love them – thank you!”

    “We all had a cup of tea and a biscuit on Zoom together.”

    It’s not a meeting without biscuits

    So why not send them a thank you gift – let them know you appreciate the effort they are putting in and the juggling many are doing to keep things going. We can all acknowledge that things are tough, but let people know they are still part of a team, even if they haven’t seen them other than through a screen for weeks. You can use our biscuits gifts to say thank you and just show your team you care.
