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

Pre Orders Available - helping you spread the cost of gifting

Shopping Online with Chirpy - a few changes

So after a bit of a survey with our customers, we’re making a few changes to how we post out our Chirpy orders.

From 1st July there will be a standard £2.50 postage charge for all orders

We will also now be sending orders out 2nd Class - having spoken to many other indie retailers and customers, people seem happy with 2nd class and often things arrive just as quickly.

However, if you are in a real hurry and have a tight deadline for an order please let me know as can arrange for 1st class postage at a small extra cost

We hope that our customers are happy with these changes - we’ll review it in a couple of months just to make sure.
