  • Happy New Year – A Biscuity Review of 2020

    So here it is…2021 so a Happy New Year to you all. After a lovely Christmas break, the real world is back with many returning to work this week. It is a little different to normal though with many schools closed, tier 4 across many parts of the country, and a general feeling of ‘When will this be over…?’

    January can be hard regardless of global pandemics. So read on to see some happy biscuits to brighten your day. We know biscuits don’t fix things, but they really do make everything a little bit better!

    Best Biscuit of 2020

    Corporate Biscuits & Classes

    It’s always so hard to choose my favourites over a year. We have gone from a brilliant icing class (yes, actual people in a room making Valentine Biscuit cakes back in early February) through to biscuits for Captain Tom when his autobiography came out. We also made the biscuits for the launch of Barack Obama’s book, A Promised Land (YES WE CAN), the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Nick Sharratt’s stunning illustrations for You Choose Fairy Tales.

    Personalised Biscuits

    Some people did manage to get married this year. We were so happy to make their wedding favours, and it was a privilege to work on the photo cookies people sent to family they couldn’t see this year.

    Our gingerbread men had a slight upgrade this year to include masks, and we sent so many ‘Cup of Tea and a Biscuit’ packs out to staff working from home to help keep them feeling connected and boost morale (read our blog for how successful these have been to remote and furloughed staff!)

    Creative Biscuits

    And here are my personal favourites…

    Colour in your own Christmas jumper (quite a few Zoom Christmas parties!),

    Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows and more rainbows (we have made hundreds!),

    Online gingerbread house competitions with biscuits, icing, sweets and logos provide by us, and the creativity provided by the recipients

    And finally…Frida!

  • Team Appreciation and Happiness – A Case Study

    “I love this – such a great idea”

    CEO of the company of this case study.

    We have been working with quite a few companies looking at ways they can help their team members continue to feel engaged and appreciated with seem many of them working at home.

    In the current climate, with so many staff currently working from home, business leaders and managers are looking for ways to keep their people motivated and engaged. The sense of camaraderie and day to day relationships are missing, and the contact with the people seen every day is now only through a computer screen.

    Furthermore, everyone working from home is working in a very different set-up with some living alone, and others trying to manage home schooling before their work day begins.

    We have recently worked with a large energy company. As with most businesses, all of their staff have been working from home since March.

    Having spoken with the CEO, he was looking for a slightly different way to communicate with his team and let them know they are appreciated by him and the business. He wanted something unique, appropriate for everyone and branded to help the sense of belonging. He also wanted to raise a little smile and give people a well-deserved break!

    We created biscuit giftboxes for every team member that included logo biscuits, plus message biscuits saying “Thank You for all your hard work”, and “Apart but still one”. Each box also included a personal gift note “We are all in the same storm but not in the same boat” recognising that each team member was having a different experience and facing different challenges whilst working from home.

    And as an added element, and to add a little smile, we included a single tea bag with the note thanking everyone, and encouraging them to take some “much deserved time out and have a cup of tea and a biscuit”. Each box was posted directly to the team members house.

    The response was great with people emailing thank you’s (and the odd post on social media too!) The CEO said “For a small gesture, these biscuit gift boxes really do make a difference to reminding our staff we appreciate them and everything they are doing at such a challenging time. Thank You!”

    We were delighted to work on these for this company. Small personalised gifts showing people they are appreciated and remain part of a team are so important to maintaining morale at the current time. Biscuits can’t fix things, but they can make things a little bit better!
