POSTAL STRIKE OFFER

While the postal strikes are on and off , all orders in the UK over £10-00 are being sent by courier and will need to be signed for. That means you can be sure your order is coming to you quickly and is not going to get lost in a depot somewhere. As usual all orders in the UK over £30-00 are free, so it is a good time to do a little early Christmas shopping!

My Yard Store Opening

This Friday (9th Oct) the boys and girl from My Yard open a new exciting fashion store at No 40, Park Street. Just a few doors up from us. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the Bristol area. Support independent trade and young designers and keep the big corporates from taking over the area. Good Luck mebabbers.

Competition on Facebook

We have a competition running on our facebook site Love From Random. All you have to do is add a photo or video of yourself or others with one of our products. Or maybe you have made something out of one of our 'Things to Do' section.

i am particularly looking forward to the promised picture of a knitted aubergine from the Amigurumi knits book. If you want to let off a sky lantern and film it that would be great or maybe you drink from one of our mugs every day! Whatever you fancy join the fan page and then add it to our wall.

At the moment the prize is a fantastic 'Hot Type Transfers Kit' full of very cool fonts that are ready to transfer onto clothes, bags etc. This is very popular at the moment so will be the prize only for a short period, then we will change it to another new and exciting product.

Discount in Venue Magazine

If you are a Bristol local, Venue Magazine has the Student Guide Supplement this week.

We have put a discount voucher in there so you can get 20% off in the shop if you bring it with you and hand it in. Good thing is you don't have to actually be a student to use it, so if you are a student of life and you are already a regular in the shop you can still make use of it. It is valid until the 1st December so you can enjoy some massive savings on an early Christmas shop.

Think Gum

Newly added to the shop and the website today is Think gum. Big in America apparently, but then so are alot of things. According to the packet, it is full of brain boosting ingredients, (various different herbs etc) and says it will help chewers take on mentally challenging tasks, be more alert and improve information recall. That is alot to claim in a little piece of gum.

We were intrigued enough to order it and as soon as it arrived cracked open a couple of packets and tried some. so what is our verdict.

No1 for me it tastes horrible, yuck,yuckyuck ,it tastes like the smell of a 1980s health shop, but others did not feel so strongly and quite liked it, these younguns dont have the same memories as me clearly.

As for the effects well i do feel a bit more chipper, I have got round to updating the blog after all! It does have Guarana in it though which has natural caffeine so it could be that.

Banksy Exhibition

We finally went to the Banksy vs Bristol Museum exhibition a few days ago. We had been waiting for the queues to die down as we actually work on the same street, but that does not look like it is going to happen anytime soon. If you find yourself in a long queue, it really is worth it. It is truly brilliant. However if you really hate queueing it is way way shorter at the end of the day on most week days. Get there just before 4pm and you will still have an hour to enjoy it. The museum shuts at 5pm. Don't miss it.
