Hello people of the internet! It’s World Book Day today so we thought we’d bring our restock a day early and launch a brand new micro collection called “At the Library.” Not only that, but we also have our newly rebranded candles to go with the Story Time Candles - more on those later on.
I’ll be honest, we’ve done a terrible job at showing much of this collection, which is a shame as it’s really cool! I think the emo collection took a little bit and suddenly we were like WHAM here’s World Book Day!
Side note: Stick around and I’ll talk about what Story Time Candle based deal we have on.
At the Library
If you’ve followed us for the past few months - I know, some of you have been around a LOT longer - then you’ll know that lately we’ve enjoyed a micro collection or two. We’ve had more “normal” ones like Bakery or Cocktails, and then we’ve had Fairyland, Pirates, Dark Masquerade, Baby Powder Blends, and last weeks Emo collection.
This is probably one I’ve wanted to do for a while as I’ve really liked the idea of pulling book characters out of their books and bringing them to life by placing them at the library. I think we have 12 designs that we’ve done, but here’s a look at 9 of them:
Some of these scents are older ones we’ve done before, others are totally brand new. Cheshire Cat’s Mystery is actually a custom blend where we’ve mixed lavender and purple rain. I know that sounds totally weird, but damn, it works!
We do still have videos to post about some of these, but everything has just felt like a mad rush. We’ve always struggled with planning things properly when it comes to the business - totally blaming the brain fog from having kids - but we try our best.
Launching the new candles
We can FINALLY say that our new candles are now available. Yay! It’s been a few months getting everything sorted, but we’re chuffed to bits that the room sprays, reed diffusers and now the candles are all available.
Although we’ve only added ONE new candle onto the website - Bookstore, since it’s World Book Day - the rest are just paired with Story Time Candles until we can sort the listings out. So call it a soft launch. I know most of you lot would prefer a hard launch, but you have a big ol’ floppy soft one.
Oh yeah, the lid will come wrapped separately. You might be wondering why, and it’s due to someone not fully checking the design on the proof. I told the designer we needed 97mm on the candle box, on the proof it was 94mm and I didn’t notice.
800 candles then arrive and we get the “ah bollocks” moment of realising the candles won’t fit in the box with the lid on.
Oops.
Such is life, and all you can do is come up with the best solution and move on.
World Book Day Deal
Since it’s World Book Day and this day is all about encouraging people to read, we thought we’d do a World Book Day Deal.
We’re giving you a FREE clamshell from the “At the Library” range to anyone who orders a Story Time Candle. Not only that, we’ll also give you a “book token” which will get you a whopping 20% off your NEXT Story Time Candle sometime in the future.
So all you have to do is add a Story Time Candle to your basket, go and pick a book-inspired Clamshell and just like that, it’s FREE.
There’s a look at all the books we’ve added. I think it’s the most amount of books we’ve had available. Even the spicy ones have FIVE to pick from.
Oh, and speaking of spicy books…
We’ve got TWO more adult toys
If you’re a man, then we finally have our male masturbator. Can’t wait to do carrot cleaning videos 😂 in fairness, it’s sodding massive. Like bigger than my head. Don’t panic, a lot of that space is probably the motor. It can “clean carrots” of all sorts of sizes.
These toys are £69.99 for the male one and £59.99 for the double headed vibrator.
OR… you can save yourself an extra £10 when they’re bought with a spicy book.
And I think that’s it…
We have stocked up other bits like Calpol, Starry Night and other stuff. But that’s everything that’s new. Maybe. Who knows if I’m honest. I’ve probably missed something.
But that’s it from me!
Thank you all for reading - had to give you something to read on a day about books - and hope you all have a good weekend. After tomorrow. It’s weird restocking on a Thursday.
Much love,
Ross & Rachel x
