Introducing Love Potion...

It's the season of luuurrrrvvve, and what better way to celebrate than with a limited edition Flamingo Candle!  Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Love Potion.

Love Potion is exactly that - a potion made with, and for the purposes of love (n'awwww).  It's an exclusive blend and in very limited supply, so you can see why we're pretty excited about it.




So, the all important question - what kind of fragrance is it?




Love Potion is a sweet and fruity, moreish fragrance which will make you fall head over heels in love.  Sugary notes of candy, vanilla and pear are mixed with glitter and a certain je ne sais quoi to create the perfect Valentine’s candle.



Not only is the fragrance to die for but, as it's smothered in sumptuous glitter, it creates a gorgeous twinkle effect when burning.



Here's a little video of Love Potion (includes requisite cheesy music and roses!):



Love Potion – a sweet, glittery treat!

Laters, cherubs!

Top Drawer January 2014

We've just returned from the mecca of design-led giftware that is Top Drawer London.  Florrie the Flamingo and the team hit the road on Saturday to set the stand up at Earls Court, in readiness for opening on Sunday.



It was a fantastic first show for us.  Our stand showcased our current candle ranges and launched our spring/summer collections (sneaky previews can be found below!).  We met lots of lovely new faces - fellow exhibitors, members of the Top Drawer team and of course new (and old) stockists.  We also got to peruse all the other wonders of Top Drawer and its sister shows -  Home and Craft.  Literally, the exhibition halls were brimming over with inspiration.  We could quite happily have ordered every single piece on display (thank God we're not buyers, eh!).









































There were lots of culinary delights too, as we got to sample the wonderful food and drink on offer in London town.  Well, it'd be rude not to!




So there kicks off our trade show tour 2014.  Next up, Spring Fair (visit us on stand 6N55) at the NEC Birmingham, between 2-6 February.

Over and out!

Visit us at Top Drawer London!

It's that time of year again - no, not the one where we have to stop eating chocolate and start a gym membership, oh wait...

We're actually referring to trade show season, where we get to leave Camp Flamingo and take a hike around the countryside purveying our wares and getting to meet lots of lovely new (and old) faces, yay!

First on our magical tour is Top Drawer.  Held at Earls Court in London on 12-14 January, Top Drawer showcases the newest product launches, cutting edge designs and must-have products for 2014.  We'll be exhibiting in the gift sector, on stand L42.  It's our first time at this event, so we're really, very excited.



 
So what do we have in store for our visitors at Top Drawer...  Only the launch of our new season fragrances and collections!

What are you waiting for?  Register for the show here.

Catch you on the flipside!
