Delivered...thanks to my new Marketing Executive..260 table favours, colour co-ordinated, handwritten personal message, JesmonaBlack Bullets sweetie favours - they look great.

Hope Children North East's Sandcastle Ball is a great hit, I am sure it will be.

Anyone wanting table favours for weddings or parties, just let us know, we can provide anything for you - pick what you want in the bag, box or wrapped, we can add message on a tag, and colour co-ordinate ribbon or any other decorations.

They take a long time to do but they look brilliant on your tables, and they make lovely gifts to take away from an event - really popular for corporates too - treat your clients, or perhaps send them out as promotional gifts in small boxes.

Sandlewood candles being launched this weekend. Such a fantastic relaxing aroma, natural and woody - perfect for a man's gift too.

The we're on to looking at men's grooming kits because everyone keeps asking us about buying presents for men - yes I agree, it's really HARD...so we're going to have some new Tins with grooming kits, shaving kits etc - can't wait to launch them at Autumn Fair...so much to organise!

Exciting new, we have finally hit the high street, Whitley Bay High Street to be exact. A lovely shop Rosewill Cottage, sells beads and jewellery and other gifts, and now they sell our GiftTins with candles and bath bombs! The display looks great, let's hope they sell out fast!

We also now have our very fan page on Facebook, I've put some pics up of our latest products - garden pouches to grow hit chillis, mini gerberas and wild strawberries, I love these gifts they are so beautifully designed. It's at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Giftinatin/110480985710236 we have 38 people people liking us so far...we'll see how that goes!

So now we have a new Facebook fan page. We already had a website page, but now we have a fan page...I've invited all my friends, so let's hope they join!

PlantTins are now launched and the Hot Chillies are proving popular, especially for Fathers Day Gifts.

I've just started designing a new scarf pattern which I'm knitting up in the beautiful black Alpaca, it;s going to be popular for Christmas I think.

So anyone wanting to join my Facebook fan page, please do, and tell everyone else you know to do it too! Thanks http://www.facebook.com/pages/Giftinatin/110480985710236

Had some excellent training today on social media marketing - learnt much about how to take my old marketing skills online - thanks Pascal at www.centreforebusiness.com

However, have also realised to keep up with all this social media and viral marketing will take up all my time....once I finish my coaching job in September it will be full steam ahead to run Giftinatin full time with my full involvement which will make a fantastic difference!

@giftinatin is deciding which beautiful products to add to our spring range, baby gifts, mens gifts, and unusual craft kits

Spring is in the air here @giftinatin! we have new yarns coming our way, some beautiful new colours and shortly some linen for light, fresh spring and summer knitted accessories.

We're also looking into new CrochetTins for some pretty summer beanies and shawls!

Then there will be the baby selection, new men's SpaTins and grooming kits....it's all go here!
