With the leaves beginning to turn from green to brown and the evenings getting darker, it won’t be long before we have to start making plans for Christmas. We are sure that your local supermarket has already started displaying festive choccies and other Christmas treats.

Of course a major part of the festive preparations are planning what presents to buy your nearest and dearest and figuring out who is coming to stay and when.

We are excited to announce a new addition to our product range which can help with some of the practical elements of receiving both gifts and visitors; our Vintage Style Midi Crate with Hinged Lid!

This crate is incredibly versatile and practical and is perfectly suited for use both in the house and outdoors.

Need a place to have your parcels dropped off by the postman or courier companies? This crate has got you covered. With its strong, hinged lid your parcels are protected and stored out of sight if you are not in when they arrive.
Quick tip: If you’re placing a natural colour crate outside we do recommend treating the wood once a year with raw linseed. If not in a porch, we suggest adding some waterproof lining to ensure your parcels do not get damaged. Alternatively, our Midi Crate with the solid Lid offers another options.

The crate also works brilliantly in guest rooms, sitting beautifully at the end of the bed providing a stylish aesthetic as well as being an ideal place to store blankets, pillows or bedding. The gaps between the slats ensure that there is plenty or air circulation, avoiding any musty smells from taking hold. And the lid doubles brilliantly as a spare table!

Of course, as with all our Vintage Style Crates there are options to personalise this fantastic storage crate. Up to three rows of text, with your own wording. Then a choice of the Natural colour or Silver Birch (Grey) and Castors perhaps to help manoeuvre.

But before we get to Christmas…

Now that your Christmas planning is taken care of, there is of course another celebration to think about – one of a more spooky nature! 🧛‍♂️🦇

Throwing a Halloween party? Store and transport your decorations and treats with ease with our wide range of personalised crates.

Gather all those special scary Halloween ‘bits and pieces’ together in a Personalised Half Bushel Crate.

And to ensure you have treats on hand for any callers, check out our Mini Crates and Small Trays. Small enough to easily carry around the house, both items hold plenty of sweet treats to keep would-be tricks at bay.

Get ahead of the upcoming celebrations. As always, if you need any advice on any of our products or the personalisation options we offer, do get in touch!

P.S. With Christmas only a hundred sleeps away you’ll need to think of decorations. A Vintage Sledge is ideal to put round the tree with all the presents.
