🌼🐰 E A S T E R 🐰🌼

Hello there! 👋

Wow it's definitely been a minute since I've posted to my page and I do apologise for the long silence! 💫

Life has been a little hectic since Christmas time and I have been taking a slight step back on the social media front but have continued to take orders as and when I have been able to do so. I'm looking forward to posting some and catching up a little! 💓

Anyway! It's only a week until Easter Sunday! I'm aware that there are lot's of yummy tasty sweet treats available to order from some amazing local bakers but if you are looking for something a little different to chocolate and cakes for your little one then let me know as I have a small amount of Easter baskets available that can be ready in time for next weekend 🥰

The baskets are available in blue, pink and yellow and the colouring/activity book is also available in blue, pink and yellow. Other items include a colour your own Easter tote bag (perfect for the egg hunts!), Easter decorations, jelly bean carrot sweets and chocolates 🐰🍫🥚

⬇️ Swipe to take a wee look ⬇️

If you would like to place an order I will be taking them until mid week so send me a wee message and I'll be happy to give you any information 🌼

Thanks again and I hope you are all enjoying your Easter break! 🐰

✨ H E L L O.....everyone!

Sorry for the lack of content recently, it's been quiet on the social media front for a wee while as life has been a bit hectic 😅

Though I haven't been active in posting I have been busy behind the scenes with orders and attending local markets 🤗

I will eventually catch up with showing you all what I have been upto and orders I have completed but just now I wanted to talk about......

C H R I S T M A S!! 🎄🎁😍

After the amount of orders I went through last year I said I was going to be ahead of myself this year but it hasn't quite happened that way 🤣

We will be offering the same as last year in terms of options with an extra option of the smaller boxes (postal option) as I didn't have this in place last time. So to show you as an example I have used last year's pictures (some items subject to change). ➡️

Option 1) Luxury Classic Foodie Hamper filled with all the favourites, mince pies, christmas puddings, oatcakes, chutney, cheese, fruit loaf etc! These were very popular last year and I have already have a few orders for these again this year! 🧀🍷

Option 2) Children's Christmas Hamper, filled with fun festive activities and treats for young ones to enjoy either as a pre- christmas/christmas eve or christmas day gift. These were also a popular choice!🧸🍬

Option 3) Postal box variation of either option, this will be available and will be a smaller version with selected items. This is a handy option for those looking to send a gift in the post. (I will have a cut off date for items being sent in the post) 📦✉

Personal orders can still be requested for Christmas gifts such as Pamper style hampers etc or if you have specific items let me know. Last year I had a couple of fun requests such as for staff members and friends! 🌟

I am aware that it's coming towards the end of November so if you can get your orders in as soon as possible then that would be great! Any questions please get in touch! 🎁

Hope we are getting into the Christmas spirit now! Whether you like to be super organised or last minute remember to try and shop local this year and support small business 🎄

This will be a fantastic market tomorrow afternoon in the View! Make sure you get yourself along to have a look at some of these great local businesses and what they have to offer. Could be great to have a look for Christmas gift ideas! 🤗

✨ Finally we have our Halloween Launch!! Apologies as the plan was to get this out on Friday the 1st but with a few delays we got there in the end! 😄

I absolutely love how these have turned out! If you know me then you know Autumn and Halloween are my favourites so I couldn't wait to put together some goodies to offer you all this year! 🍂👻

⬇️ Make sure to swipe to have a closer look at these!! 👀⬇️

The options will be...

👻 Spooky Bucket 👻

This option is suited to one person it will be wrapped in cellophane and finished with some Halloween ribbon and a gift tag can be personalised with the name or...

🎃 Trick or Treat Box 🎃

This option is suited to more than one person so ideal for a family or maybe friends, this can also be personalised with names, the treats included will be per person (so no arguments over who has what!🤪)

Contents of both options are...

🍬 Sweetie Cone
🍬 Colouring book
🍬 Superhero Mask
🍬 Transfer Tattoo's
🍬 Halloween Scratchers
🍬 Snap Band
🍬 Bubbles
🍬 Balloon
🍬 Yo yo

Big thanks to
For working with me on this one to create the personalisation for the boxes and tags for the buckets! Just what I was looking for! 😍

I thought it would be something a little fun for the kids this year as I know not everyone will be out round doors as normal for whatever reason so maybe this would suit someone as a nice treat! 💀🧟‍♂️

There will only be a limited number of these available as I cannot guarantee more stock but will definitely see how things go!

Get in touch if you would like to order or if you have any questions! I will post a close date for last orders too!

Happy Sunday and Happy October 😍🍂🎃🧡✨

✨ I'm so behind in posting orders just now 🙈 September has been so busy and I still have a few more orders to complete before the end of the month so bare with me 😆

This was a lovely order I got to put together for a couple as a gift on their wedding day 🍾🥰
We worked closely with Anita’s Creations to add in some personalised touches with decals on the box, candle and glass, they were 😍

⬅️ Swipe for a closer look at everything included! ⬅️

Other items included a personalised frame made by myself, diffuser set, confetti and tasty chocolates from Oban Chocolate Company

Another specific request was non alcoholoc beverages so we went with Irn-Bru as it's a favourite drink of the bride 👰
Requests are what make our gifts personal so its always nice to add this in!

I was so happy with how this one turned out! And we wish the happy couple all the love & happiness their future as Husband & Wife 💕

**Little side note, I'm full for the rest of September! 🙈 Keep an eye out for our Halloween Launch coming next week 🎃

✨ Still catching up on my posts so bare with me! I really wanted to share this group order I done as I loved how it all turned out! 😍

I was asked to put together a birthday hamper along with some treat bags as a surprise for a young lady celebrating her birthday who was off for a weekend away with her friends.

I thought this was such a lovely idea to not only gift for the birthday girl but include all of her friends too! (very thoughtful mum! 🥰)

The request was pamper items
so this is what I put together!
⬅️ Swipe to take a closer look inside the hamper and bags ⬅️

The gifts were each personalised with gorgeous name tags provided by Anita’s Creations 😍

I hadn't really done smaller gift bag styles such as this before although I wanted to I just didn't have the time for an example 😆 but this type of gift is available as an option and would be ideal for group gifts such as for a wedding party or baby shower etc! And can be suited to theme, personalised budget discussed etc.

Perfect little weekend treats for the birthday girl and her friends! We hope you all had the best time! 🥂🎉✨

✨ This was another wee catch up order from a few weeks back and I am STILL obsessed with it! 😍🙈

Lauren asked me to put together a 'Good Luck' gift to a colleague that was leaving the practice. She asked for it to be 'Oban Dental' themed if possible so I had to get my thinking hat on! 🤔

➡️ Definitely swipe to look at all the items inside this one! ➡️

We included sp in this special hamper were....

🪥Black 'You Got This' frame
🪥Bamboo toothbrush and floss set
🪥'Amazing Dentist' wish bracelet made by the lovely Handmade Creations by Roxy
🪥Purple 🦷 themed notepad which we personalised with a decal from Anita’s Creations
🪥Purple water bottle personalised with name by
🪥Beautiful purple wax melts by TLC Waxes of Oban
🪥Parma Violet Gin with little wooden heart from Turadh Crafts & Clothing
🪥Facemask, bath bomb, tealight, hand cream, twinings tea, towel headband, wooden plaque.

To finish off this order I made a little personalised note (you guessed by now! In the shape of a 🦷 of course 😆) with a message from all the staff at Oban Dental Practice.

I went with a purple colour scheme to tie it altogether and box decal by too 🤗
I absolutely love how it turned out! 😍💜

There's a lot going on with this one and I used as many local businesses where I could and I'm so happy with how it came together as it had quite a specific theme to fit. We wish Aoife all the best in her new job! 💕

What are your thoughts on this one guys? Yay or Nay? 😄✨
