Our first LIVE Chirpy Shop

As many of you know I love going LIVE on Instagram, especially walking to work on a Saturday morning, chatting about the week, saying hello to the bin men and getting ready for the weekend ahead.

But tonight was our first Chirpy LIVE SHOPPING EVENT! I have to admit I was nervous - it’s funny just talking into the camera not really knowing if anyone’s listening!

The idea behind the LIVE SHOPPING is to show our followers our new products from the comfort of their own home. We’ve had a few deliveries this week of some gorgeous summery products which we’ve put together as a table display, hopefully to give our customers some inspiration on how to dress a summer table for alfresco dining. But not everyone gets a chance to pop in so this is a great way to show the products and share some ideas.

What’s more for the rest of the Bank Holiday, until midnight Monday, you can use the code LIVE10 to get 10% off on all the products shown. Just head to the *LIVE SHOP section in the STORE to check out the products included HERE

Now we’ve got the first nerve wracking LIVE out of the way I’m hoping to make this a monthly event. Let me know if there’s any particular themes, topics or type of products you’d like us to cover. As we’re heading to the National Stationery Show in a couple of weeks time then perhaps the next one at the beginning of June will feature the lovely new stationery we’re looking to source.

Thanks to everyone who joined the live, or watched it on catch up and happy shopping!

Don’t forget to tune in next month

SAVE THE DATE Sunday 2nd June 7:30pm

We're half way there ... an update on our charity fundraising.

Every year Chirpy does something to support a Breast Cancer Charity and this year is no different.

Having been accepted to do the Coppafeel Peak District Marathon Trek in September we’ve started to raise money to support this wonderful charity, which specialises in support younger people with breast cancer.

Earlier in the year we launched our charity products, in collaboration with Sarah Thornton Art, including tea towels, cards & prints, all designed exclusively for Chirpy. They’ve been selling well in store and online. With 20% of sales going towards Coppafeel we’ve reached half of out target.

We’d love to hit out target as soon as we can, and ideally smash it.

So on 24th May, we’re inviting our Chirpy customers to one of our evening shopping events, with £5 from the sale of each ticket being donated to Coppafeel. The other £10 will be redeemable against anything you buy in the shop.

What’s more there’ll be discounts, double points and of course goodie bags and fizz.

We’re also welcoming local boutique Katie & May as they’ll be popping up upstairs with a range of their summer fashion.

So if you’d like to support us and enjoy a great evening then grab a ticket HERE - be quick as there’s a limited amount.

If you’d like to support us buy buying any of our charity products then just check them out HERE

Thank you for all your support so far

Late Night Shopping is coming to Chapel Allerton

On Thursday 14th December why not pop down to Chapel Allerton from 5pm when lots of the great independent businesses will be keeping their doors open for our first LATE NIGHT SHOPPING EVENT!

It’s the perfect time to start (or finish!) your Christmas shopping.

We’ll have some Chirpy offers to so watch this space.

Chirpy on Tour this Christmas!

This year you’ll find us at The Mustard Pot Christmas Market on Thursday 7th December from 5pm - 9pm

We’ll have a unique selection of Chapel Allerton themed products and a great choice of stocking fillers.

LOVE YOUR HIGH STREET - this week (and forever!)

The LOVE YOUR HIGH STREET campaign is a week dedicated to shopping with independent retailers designed to rejuvenate and promote local businesses.

As an independent business in the heart of Chapel Allerton, we’re lucky to have an often vibrant high street.

You can walk from one end of Harrogate Road to the other and find everything you need, from the butchers, the fruit and veg shop, clothes, kids shoes, jewellery, gifts and books. We’re spoilt for choice with independent cafes, bars and restaurants and there’s plenty to choose from if you want a bit of pampering or to keep fit.

But that’s not to say we don’t still need your support. Some days are deathly quiet and with the run up to Christmas we rely on our local customers to shop locally in person or even online (yes many of us have great online stores too)

So this week could be the perfect time to start. ‘Love Your High Street’ campaign, is a great reminder that we are here on your doorstep with a great selection of products for you. Perhaps you haven’t popped into Chapel Allerton for a while, then why not visit us this week and see what fantastic choice of gifts we have.

If you’re not local but want to support us from afar, then we’re going you Free Shipping until midnight Sunday 19th November - just use the code LOVEFREESHIPPING

Thanks for your support this week and all the weeks of the year - it means the world!
