Gingerboxcompany says THANK YOU


We've been up and running here at Gingerboxcompany for a few months now and I gladly say Thank you to a great many people, because the support through sharing in our little world has been sublime. We want to THANK YOU. Two wonderful words when used together give you great feeling. We say them constantly many times a day, and it's a great thing we do.
On Twitter @gingerboxco and on Facebook gingerboxcompany, through our Etsy account and Folksy. We have had very kind people spreading what we do to a wider audience, THANK YOU.

This week has been a great step in our progress as we have been invited to have a stand for the 2 days at UK baby & toddler show in #Liverpool which is their flagship event 2-3rd February 2013. We want to give a HUGE thank you to them for this wonderful opportunity to showcase our brand.

Who makes me tick artistically

When you're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social network sites, you meet and converse with an abundance of talent. Everyone from making clothing and creating paintings, to sharing parental tips or ideas. No matter what the time or day you can view, talk or share in these talents.

I get very excited when I find an individual or company that makes, sells or gives something that inspires me. It gets my creative juices flowing. There are a few people at the moment that do just that.




The first is a lady who goes by the name of accidentalvix found here http://www.accidentalvix.co.uk/ or on twitter as @accidentalvix with a fantastic collection of handmade products, from  bibs and booties , to cards and artwork.

Her cards are uniquely made for many happy occasions for everyone's needs.  Her bibs and booties are lovingly made using many colour schemes, that are beautiful and functional, a must have in every little ones wardrobe. Her illustrations are a great addition to everyone's home, they are for adults and children alike. Ideal for wedding gifts, or children's nurseries, they are a must have.

I have purchased a great pair of booties and also her fantastic Molly Superstar illustration. They are both designed and made to a very high standard, that show her talent and love for creating beautiful handmade items. Everyone should follow her twitter @accidentalvix and also check out her products for sale at her Etsy shop.

Superhero babies

When choosing your little ones nursery theme, most people go for the bland colours, and the usual baby store brands and themes, why? Why not break away from tradition. Classic superhero canvases or framed pieces are just the break away from tradition you need.

They can be placed in the nursery together, giving a unique theme which could be continued as they grow up.
There are many more on the website to choose from, have a look for yourself

You can bring your little ones up with the amazing fantasy world of comic superheroes as their daily ritual. Using there imagination to create a world that is looked after by heroes doesn't sound bad to me. Who knows maybe one of them out there could be the next Peter Parker...
