Unique British Gifts: Bye, bye Teddy - you'll be missed
http://uniquebritishgifts.blogspot.com/2006/12/bye-bye-teddy-youll-be-missed.html
Wednesday, December 06, 2006. Bye, bye Teddy - you'll be missed. So one of Britain's best loved teddy bear makers, Merrythought Toys, founded in 1930, has been forced to close with the loss of 48 jobs. That's right - a toymaker forced to close in the run-up to Christmas. Ironic to say the least. Tremendously sad for sure. Another small-scale British manufacturing company bites the dust. Why? Does anyone out there care any more? Does "Made in Britain" count for nothing, even to us Brits? Posted by Peter W...

Unique British Gifts: The cost of convenience & affordability
http://uniquebritishgifts.blogspot.com/2006/02/cost-of-convenience-affordability.html
Friday, February 24, 2006. The cost of convenience and affordability. Figures suggest that approximately 1 in every 3 spent in the United Kingdom is spent in supermarkets. It seems we cannot resist these giant centres of convenience and affordability. Their incessant growth across our tiny island has crushed the local butcher, family greengrocer, florist, newsagent, independent store and skilled artisan producers in our towns and villages.One store now takes care of it all! The sharing of wealth? By igno...

Unique British Gifts: December 2010
http://uniquebritishgifts.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 07, 2010. A cure for Man Flu. Our HMS Victory Winestopper. And Pewter Desk Clock. Were featured in the Daily Telegraph a couple of weeks ago. We were thrilled that it generated a whole new legion of new and valued Unique British Gifts customers. Indeed, one of them even seems to have invented a cure for Man Flu. Part way through taking the order, in a particularly headmistressy way, the lady said "you sound like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders! Well done Channel 4!

Unique British Gifts: It's the thought that counts!
http://uniquebritishgifts.blogspot.com/2006/02/its-thought-that-counts_114069809843217077.html
Thursday, February 23, 2006. It's the thought that counts! OK, so we're a giftware company and we talk gifts all day. But there's a saying related to our industry that made us think: "It's the thought that counts.". A phrase used to express pretend satisfaction about a less than perfect gift you've received. It's a way of being polite. It's a typically English way of saying "why on earth did you buy me that? More importantly, what are the gifts you give saying about how you view the recipient? What if yo...

Unique British Gifts: Well done Channel 4!
http://uniquebritishgifts.blogspot.com/2010/12/well-done-channel-4.html
Tuesday, December 07, 2010. Well done Channel 4! We got a phone call last week from Channel 4. Now, we get a whole load of calls each day from people looking to relieve us of some of our hard-earned to advertise here or there, so I assumed, with my usual scepticism, that it was about advertising. I nearly fell off my chair when they informed me that they had seen our Historical Map Jigsaws. On our Unique British Gifts. Website and they were looking to run a piece in Kirstie and Phil's Perfect Christmas.
