Seasonal Working Hours
Share
UPDATED 19.12.2025
We're now closed for Christmas - padded items will now be on hold until 5th Jan when we are back working. Please note that the 10 working day production time will start from this 05.01.26 for any orders purchased from Friday 19th. Please also be aware that this is likely to be longer due to a build up of orders.
Stocked items will be shipped between Christmas and New Year but please note that Royal Mail will also be impacted by the seasonal increase and this may lead to delays.
We're a small business so every order is greatly appreciated, we will do our best to catch up in the new year.
From our family to yours, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
Love, Izzy x
