Have you ever been hit by that nostalgic feeling? A certain song, smell or photograph catches you off guard and you’re overcome by a warm reminder of a time from your past, or a memory of a favourite day.

With another academic year over and graduation season upon us, orders for grad-related goodies have started to roll in, and we’ve been thinking about the best end-of-uni gifts in our range. Georgia, our Creative Assistant, is the most recent graduate of the Create Gift Love team and has put together her top picks for graduation gifting.  Bournemouth University Graduation - 8th November 2016 Before joining Create Gift Love in February 2017, I spent three long years studying for a BA English degree. Although it was a lot of hard work and was very stressful on occasions, I had such a great time at university and I’ve got so many happy memories to look back on. My graduation day for one is something I’ll...

It’s always exciting to receive a wedding invite – a date to mark in the calendar, outfits to plan, friends to see again. But knowing what to give the happy couple is sometimes a struggle. Do you stick to the usual request of money for the honeymoon, a toaster for the new kitchen and vouchers for the future, or do you dare to go “off-list”? After a little chat in the office with the happily married members of the Create Gift Love team, we agreed that it’s usually the more personal, sentimental gifts that stand out and are remembered years later. If that’s the route you want to go down then keep reading – we might just have the solution!...

We'll create your 'life journey' through a series of social media posts and to say thanks for contributing we'll...

As the academic year draws to a close, it’s got us to thinking about the wonderful job that teachers do, as they prepare for their well-deserved summer break.
