So here we are again, a second lockdown. We know this is a tough one for so many of us, but we've done it before. We can do it again. Remember, it hopefully won't be as long, we're all more prepared, and this time there will hopefully be supplies in the supermarkets! Plus, we've got Christmas to look forward to, even if it's just a very laid-back one this year.

So, we want to keep things positive around here. We also want to help you, our lovely Daisy Parkers out the best way we know how: by making your online Christmas shopping as stress-free and easy as possible. You may have seen us mention these on our socials, but here's what we can offer you:

• Website - as usual, our website it open 24/7.

• Kerbside collection - If you're in the area you can order your goodies online and pick them up through the door (as safely as possible of course) Or give us a call 01769 579077 and we can organise orders for you.

• Local delivery - If you live nearby but can't get out, let us know! We might just be able to drop it to your doorstep ourselves.

• Card writing/gift wrapping - If you're unable to do so yourself, we can write out cards on your behalf (just give us the message you'd like inside), and wrap gifts up in lovely tissue paper and ribbons for you too.

Don't hesitate to call or email us if you're unsure on anything, but please do bare with us, after all we are an independent business with a small team simply trying our best, so there may be a few delays. But thank you for your continued support, and everyone's kind words this week. We really do appreciate it.

Now onto the fun stuff.. new stationery!

If you're anything like us, this will be exciting news for you. We've stocked Bookaroo bits for a while now and we're loving their stuff so much that we simply had to get some more goodies in. We're sensing that stationery like this will be massive this year for Christmas gifts, they're super handy and ideal for anyone working from home right now. Plus, they're easy to send in the post which is definitely a bonus now more than ever!

The reading stand is a new favourite of ours. As a bestseller from Bookaroo, it's ideal for all this extra reading many of us are doing these days. Prop your book up in bed on your lap, or place it on a bath tray with candles and your favourite tipple, and you've got a cosy night in sorted.

The travel tech tidies are great gifts too. Ideal for anyone who travels a lot, or who has a lot wires and bits (which is all of us these days, let's be honest!). You can keep earphones, charges, pens and more in this handy little wrap.

And don't forget the kids! There's some fab little treats for children who are into their reading or general stationery. The reading timer is super handy if you need some quiet time, then there's the mini bendy reading light that conveniently clips onto books. Plus the notebooks and accessories are perfect for school books and more.

And much more. Stationery is always a great go-to for Christmas gifts if you're stuck for ideas, especially this year with so many of us working from home. Perhaps someone who's struggling with doing so could do with a spruce up of their at-home desk area? Or maybe they're just a huge lover of stationery, we know the feeling! It's probably a bit sad how excited we get over stationery here at Daisy Park, but we just can't help it. We hope this blog post filled with these goodies has brought you a tiny bit of excitement in an otherwise not-so-exciting world too.

Sending lots of love to all of you, our fabulous customers. Take care and stay safe. Love from Em & the Daisy Park team. xx
