Giving a bottle of wine as a gift could be looked upon as a thoughtless last minute impulse buy, but that’s not always the case.  What do you get for that person in your life that already has everything? I know I find a nice bottle of wine or even a bottle of their favourite tipple is always a great option, but I don’t want them to think I haven’t thought about their gift.  A great way to stop this is to dress up the bottle with a Bottle Bow.  They instantly brighten up your gift, and with space for your own message they make the gesture of giving even more personal making it look like a very thoughtful present.

I’ll admit that sometimes when I buy a bottle of wine it can be a last minute purchase, maybe just as a gesture so I don’t have to turn up for that party, but even then it would be nice to make it look like I put a bit of thought into.  I don’t want to have to fork out for a bottle bag that costs as much as the bottle itself so a Bottle Bow is a great option and at a lot lower cost.

Go in to any card shop or supermarket and there’s rack after rack of ‘samey’ cards which at a glance are amusing …but didn’t you send your sister pretty much the exact same card last year for her birthday?!

If you’re looking for a novelty greeting card you can send someone with a wicked sense of humour - look no further than our Wobbly Bits range.  With 20 designs in the range there’s bound to be one to suit the occasion and your friend’s sense of humour, and the added intrigue of the wobble action will definitely have the recipient in stitches – we’re sure they won’t have seen anything like this before.  Take a look at the online videos and you’ll see what we mean.

It’s impossible to resist the urge to flick the wobbly shapes and the action raises a smile time after time.  See our full range of greeting cards online here.

What do you get the person who has everything for their birthday? We all know at least one person who falls in to this category whether it’s your best friend, your mum, your aunty or just that someone at work but you’re the luck so and so that got stuck with the task of buying them a present with the works whip round!  If you’re like me…then there’s one thing you can get that you pretty much can not go wrong with - a bottle of wine or even their favourite spirit. 

The only difficulty with this present choice is just how do you wrap it?  Unless you’re some kind of origami master, then a traditional sheet of wrapping paper is completely out of the window.  Plan B is then usually a bottle bag which tends to cost more the bottle itself, and on top of that you’re fooling no-one as to ‘what might be inside?’!  So our latest product launch is the perfect answer - don’t even bother wrapping it; just stick a Bottle Bow on it! 

Bottle bows are a range of greetings cards/tags specially designed to sit around the neck of a bottle and transform it from a ‘thoughtless purchase’ into a ‘thoughtful gift’.  In a range of designs there’s one for every occasion whether it’s a birthday, a birth an anniversary or even just to say ‘well done’ or ‘love you’.  Each has a space for you to add your own personal message and they make a great keepsake for the recipients ‘memories box’ if it is to commemorate a special occasion.

Wobbly Bits greetings cards are a new range of cards from our sister company A Nice Touch.  There are 20 designs in the range, all of which have an unusual ‘wobble action’ that makes them interactive and entertaining - sure to raise a smile on the face of any friend or loved one you care to send it to.

You can check out all the designs available through the A Nice Touch website where you can even watch a short video which demonstrates the special wobble action.  We’re sure you’ll get ‘I saw this and thought of you’ syndrome with at least one of the designs, and if you do, you can even place an order on line. We generally hold a small amount of stock of all of the cards which means we can despatch them to you right away.

We’re also pleased to tell you that all of the cards were designed, printed, hand-assembled and packed right here in the UK at our head office in Lancashire.  In addition to this the envelopes, the cello packs and the springs were all also made in the UK and the 350gsm silk art board that the cards are printed on was supplied by a UK paper merchant.

When we launched our new greeting card division, A Nice Touch, at The Spring Fair we didn’t quite know what the reaction would be – particularly from sales agents. However, judging by the rate at which good agents have taken up the offer of our opportunity we needn’t have worried. In less than two weeks we have covered about 75% of the UK. The areas that are left without cover are the North West, the North East and Northern Ireland.

 We are keen to get cover in those remaining areas and if you are a greeting card agent looking for new products with something different to offer then our two small ranges could be right up your street.

 Bottle Bows have never before seen light of day. They are a totally new concept in the world of greetings and are designed specifically to accompany the gift of a bottle of wine. They are easy on the eye, easy on the pocket and very easy to use as they come ready-folded to slip over the bottle neck.

 Our range of Wobbly Bits also has a new angle. These photographic adult humour cards have the added attraction of wobbly action. The funny captions are backed with bums that wiggle; bellies that wobble and heads that shake and nod.
