ReRetail Christmas Gift Guide

It's the first of December, so that means its the time of year when we at ReRetail blow the dust off of our copy of Photoshop and produce a special Christmas Boxey.

Of course, everyone wants a fun and unique Christmas present, but what to choose? Well, we at ReRetail are hear to help with our handy ReRetail Christmas Gift Guide:




 First we have our range of notebooks and journals. The item we've chosen from this category is our Indra Leather Photo Album which, whilst not technically a Journal or a Notebook is very fancy and will definitely keep your photos and nice and safe.

But that's not all! Tanks to one of our newest suppliers, Manumint, we have added to our already extensive range of bags. The one we've chosen specifically is the Chocolate and Blue Tote Bag. Of course we still have our range of Ecoist clutches and coin purses.

 Also from paper high we have a great range of Photo Frames including this one, to the right, a fantastic looking Vintage Style 6x4 Mango Wood frame.

And finally for our quick mini-gift guide we have a huge range of items from Doy Bags. Such a huge range that it was difficult to chose our favorite. But after much deliberation we went for the Kids Lunch Box Bag, which is made from recycled juice boxes. Good for both work and school. We're big fans.

But that's not all! We also have an amazing range of items for Christmas itself! Including decorations (as you can see above) and We've also got a range of Christmas Soap (Frankincense & Myrrh is our favorite). To see our complete range of Christmas items here.

And that's not all! (again) To help celebrate Christmas, and see of another year (hopefully without Mayan Apocalypse) we're offering 15% off of all items for the rest of 2012. Just use the code "XMASEVERYDAY" (without quotes) during checkout.

Anyway, that's enough from me for the season (except for our important postage information) have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Me (Matt), Kate, Boxey, and our clerical staff (Marmalade, Bumble and Mocha). We'll see you again in 2013!

Roundup 25/05/12: We're everywhere!

Hello! Is it really that time of week again? (erm, no, actually, We're a day late). We've been quite the hive of activity here at ReRetail, but then the sun came out. So we've been spending the last few days eating ice lollies and trying to remember where we left our sunglasses last summer (the glove box, right? It has to be, i've checked everywhere else).

But! Before the sun came out and we actually got some work done!

Is an advert on your own
blog really an advert?

If you've been down to the internets recently, you might of seen our grand overlord (or Boxey) about the place. Yes, it's true. We've gone corporate, we'll be wearing keyboard ties and talking into shoe-box sized mobile phones soon enough (we have, apparently, only ever watched a Betamax about corporate culture).

We have also, along with the FaceBook and Google ad's, started advertising using Project Wonderful, so if you browse any sites that use their advertising system, you might just see our ad's popping up all over the place.

Exciting times indeed. Anyway, enough about us. Just enough time for a stock update before we can all go back outside into the sun.

The Indra Leather Journals we've mentioned a few times really are flying off of the shelves, so much that we've placed our fourth order to our supplier in the (around) two months we've been stocking them. So rest assured, anything that's out of stock/low stock should be back in shortly!

I think that's everything for this week, see you next time! Until then, thanks for reading and please remember that we're still giving away Reusable shopping bags (until the end of May).

As always you can find our shop Here, also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Thursday Roundup 26-04-12

Like these little guys? Want one, for free? Then read on...

Hello and welcome to this weeks Roundup! It's been a busy week here at ReRetail towers, we've got kitten updates, bags from nuns, and free gifts! But that's enough from me, lets get into the Roundup!


Week Recap: 

I managed to get this photo
before being shoo'd away.

Since our Friday Fun, Kate has really taken a liking to the Kitten Basket we featured, and while we'll be back with them tomorrow to finish off the rest of the kit. Kate's been busy all week manically sewing the third kitten to join ReRetails new Clerical Staff (Bumble and Marmalade), these kits really aren't just for kids, they're also for crafty (like a fox!) or particularly child-like adults too!

Something special arrived on our doorstep this week, no not another kitten, but a set of children's school bags - hand made by nuns, no less! We'll talk about these once we've sorted them all and got them up on the shop, but we can say that they are really nice, and are for a good cause (so thats doubly good!) - watch out for them in a future Spotlight!


Product News:
A quick product update this week, we just wanted to say that, due to a sudden surge in popularity, we have almost sold out of all the Medium and Small leather journals. But fear not! You haven't missed your chance! We've placed another order with Paper High so we should be back in stock very soon.

Signoff:

Now, before we sign off for the week - the moment you've been waiting for!

As you can see from the banner picture, we have these re-usable carrier bags around here. They got us thinking, wouldn't it be great if you could have one, for free? 

Of course it would, which is why we've decided that, until our supply of freebie bags run out (or the end of May, whichever comes first) every order through our webshop (sorry eBay customers! This is just for the webshoppers) will get a randomly selected bag. 

If that's not incentive enough, if you're quick enough you can use this in conjunction with any of our currently active offers! 

Here's a reminder of the currently active discount codes:

For Free Shipping, use the code FRIDAYFUN - Valid until the 4th of May.

For 15% off all Makedo items, use the code BUILDABOXEY - Valid until the 30th April.

and, as always, for 12.5% off of all our items, use the blog code to the left, and a FaceBook advert code, which is a secret. 

Thank you for reading and that's all for the Roundup for this week. We'll see you Tuesday for the Spotlight! Remember to check back tomorrow for the Kitten-y conclusion to last weeks Friday Fun.

Thursday Roundup 19-04-12

Hello again! Welcome back to the Thursday roundup, our weekly (ish) newsletter (ish) post about the going on in and around ReRetail Towers (...ish). Now with a fancy new format!

Week Recap: 
Well what a week this has been! Last Friday we completed our Friday Fun big project 'Project Boxey' which really put our artistic skills to the test. I'm pleased to report that Boxey is steeling into his new surroundings and seems quite happy.  We also received a very nice write-up/post about it from Makedo, which caused this to happen:

Up is good

 Which means, in basic terms, that it's more than just our mums who read this, so thank you to everyone reading this, and a special thank you to Makedo for making such a fantastic product.

Check out Makedo here or on FaceBook.

Product News:
The Elephant Dung Journals we mentioned last week are now back in stock (all sizes) in limited quantities, these items are quick sellers so get them before their gone again!


Also the Embossed/Stitched A4 Leather Journal that impressed me last week seems to have impressed you as well, as we're down to our last one!






Signoff:
Thanks, again, for reading and remember! Until the 30th of April you can still get 15% off of all makedo items using the code BUILDABOXEY (restrictions apply) and, if that's not enough, you can get 12.5% off of all our products (forever!*) using the code IMFROMTHEBLOG (restrictions apply).

A little birdy has also told me that you can get 15% off of our entire range by using some kind of discount code from some kind of FaceBook advert that we have. So if you can find it (it's like a treasure hunt) you can get yourself quite a nice saving.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you Tuesday for the Spotlight (remember to check in tomorrow for the Friday Fun!)

Thursday Roundup 12-04-12

Hello and welcome to the newest thing in blog (well, our blog), the Thursday Roundup! 'Whats a Thursday Roundup' you say? Well, it's like a newsletter but it comes up here every Thursday (like a newsletter) and features a summary of all thats been going on over the past week (like a newsletter). 

...Basically it's pretty much exactly like a newsletter, but we've decided to call it a Thursday Roundup, which makes it different (somehow). Anyway, on with the show!

Embossed & Stitched
Indra Leather Journal - A4

First up, we have our (newly restocked!) selection of fantastic journals from Paper High. The Indra leather journals are a particular favourite of mine, and the A4 (right) really caught my eye.

The journals have approximately 125 pages (less for the smaller sizes) of paper made from Recycled Cotton from the Indian garment industry. Which makes these both fairly traded and eco friendly!  They come in a variety of styles (pictured is stitched & embossed with clasp). Also avalible from Paper High is Coloured Leather, Leather, Sari and Elephant Dung. Check them out here.

Button Bag Kitten Basket

Next up we have two new additions to our store, the first is from Button Bag, which are craft kits for kids (or crafty grown-ups) which you can use to make all sorts of fluffy things, such as Kittens (left), Owls, Mice, and more. 

As you can see from the picture these items should come with a dentists warning, because of their incredible sweetness. Expect to see more of these on here in the future. Check them out here.

Choc-o Juice Carton Place Mats

And finally we have just started stocking a rage of place mats and home-wares from Doy Bags. All Doy Bag items are made from recycled juice cartons  by a women's co-operative in the Philippines. 

"Wipe-clean and eco friendy? Is it true?" You bet your bottom dollar it is. These placemats look great and come in a variety of designs. Check them out here. We also stock matching coasters, check them out here. 

Well, it's been a busy week, hopefully next week we have as much (or more) cool stuff to show off to you! Remember you can get 12.5% off of all these items (and all the items in our webstore) using the code IMFROMTHEBLOG (restrictions apply).  

As always you can find our shop Here, also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for reading and we'll see you tomorrow for some Friday Fun!

Coming Soon!: Paper High Elephant Dung Notebooks

The first of our (Blog Exclusive!) Sneak Peeks is our Elephant Dung Recycled Notebooks from Paper High.

These notebooks are handmade in Sri Lanka from 'Pachyderm Paper', a mix of elephant dung* and recycled paper, and are in support of the Millennium Elephant Foundation (a home for elderly and disabled elephants).

The notebooks contain approximately 60 pages of paddy husk paper and have a brass elephant design on the front. The notepads are also both eco-friendly and Fair Trade.

So, with these you can support a good cause and have a rather nifty notebook to keep all your thoughts and ideas in, like that novel about space-elephant cowboys you've been waiting to write.

Because these notebooks are coming soon, they're not quite in our shop just yet, but the should be in a couple of days. Once they're up they'll be here.

Once they're up we'll put the word out on our Twitter. And like us on Facebook, if you want more of this, but with a blue bar at the top.


*Don't worry, they don't smell. Because of science!
