July Round-Up: Milestones, Magnets & Melted Snowmen
Share
Hello, lovely people!
Welcome to the first-ever Perfect Day Creations Monthly Round-Up – and let us tell you, July did not hold back. Between the sizzling sunshine and the whirlwind of activity in the studio, we’ve been sweating glitter (quite literally).
Honestly, it’s been hotter than the inside of a car parked in Wollaston with the windows up and no hope of a breeze– and yet, we’ve never been more in the festive spirit! Stick with us and we’ll catch you up on everything we’ve been up to… and what’s coming next. 👀
🎓 Thank You Teachers – You Blew Us Away
Our Thank You Teacher gifts have been an absolute hit! We’ve seen magnets, cards, and box frames fly off our virtual shelves faster than we could say, “End of term”.
We’re beyond grateful for every order, and so thrilled to have helped so many of you show love to the incredible teachers in your lives. It’s been so successful that we’ve decided to keep one of the most loved items – the Winnie the Pooh magnets – available all year round! Because who says teachers (or Pooh Bear quotes) should only get love once a year?
🎉 Hitting 50 Sales on Etsy – You Beauties!
This month, we hit our 50th sale on Etsy, and we’re doing a little happy dance as we write this. To all of our new customers in July – hello, welcome, and thank you! We hope you loved your orders, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon. 🥰
We’re so proud of how far we’ve come and we owe it all to you – the wonderful people who support small businesses and keep the handmade magic alive.
✨ Scratch & Win – Our New Reward Cards!
We’ve rolled out something really fun this month: every single order from our website or Etsy now comes with a shiny little reward scratch card.
💥 You could win up to £2.50 off your next order – no minimum spend, no catch. Just scratch and smile.
Important bit: Discounts are redeemable on our website only.
But wait – there’s more! We’re also selling these reward cards to other small businesses who want to give their own customers a fun little surprise. If you’d like a custom batch made for your shop, drop us a message!
📦 Etsy Shipping Changes (and Why)
We’ve had to make a change to how we ship Etsy orders. Due to Etsy’s payment rules, we now need to add tracking to all Etsy orders. This helps us get payouts faster, which in turn helps us keep the lights on and the craft supplies flowing.
🛒 But don’t worry! If you order directly from our website, you’ll still enjoy free standard 2nd class delivery, with optional upgrades to 1st class or even local pickup if you’re nearby (shout-out to our Wollaston crew!).
💌 Say Hello to Our “Card of the Month” Club!
We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new Card of the Month feature! 🎉
Each month, we’ll spotlight one of our handmade cards and give it a 50% discount – automatically applied in your shopping cart. No code, no fuss, just great savings.
📝 A quick note: this can’t be used with other offers or discounts, and it’s only available on our website – so keep an eye on our homepage to see which design is getting the monthly spotlight!
🎄 Christmas in July? You Bet!
Yep, we’ve officially started leaking our Christmas range, and we’re not sorry. We might be roasting like chestnuts in this heatwave, but our studio is starting to look like Santa’s second workshop.
Here’s what’s arrived so far:
- 🎁 Gift Tags with Attitude – sassy, festive, and fabulous
- 🖍️ Colour-Me-In Christmas Card Sets – each one comes with crayons or pencils for a perfect kid-friendly activity
And guess what? We’ve got a permanent Christmas corner set up now. It’s the most festive we’ve felt since that one winter we accidentally left the heating on for a week (spoiler: we’re never doing that again).
There’s lots more to come – including some very exciting Shadow Box Frames (wink wink) – so keep an eye on our socials and our homepage.
🛍️ Our Website Is Getting a Makeover
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working hard to refresh our website – making it easier to browse, faster to load, and better than ever. You’ll start seeing more products pop up soon, along with some design tweaks to make your shopping experience even more delightful.
If there’s something you loved on social that’s not listed yet – it’s probably coming soon!
🔮 What’s Coming in August & Beyond?
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s on our horizon:
- More Christmas launches (because obviously)
- Autumn vibes and seasonal items
- Potential local events or markets (Chrismas Market)
- And a few cheeky giveaways and surprises
We're absolutely buzzing for what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to share more with you.
From all of us at Perfect Day Creations, thank you for being part of our colourful, glittery, slightly chaotic journey. We’re here because of your support – and we’re so excited to keep creating for you.
Stay cool, stay kind, and we’ll see you next month!
(Unless you follow us on social, in which case we’ll see you in about five minutes.)
Big love,
The Perfect Day Creations Team 💕✨
