Newsletter
We are starting a quarterly electronic newsletter for Friends of
Honeybees to not only keep you up to date of any new lines and special
offers in the shop but also including special offers for Friends only.
If you would like to be included on the mailing list then
click here
and complete
and send me the form and we will add you on. Your details will not be
used for any other purpose other than the newsletter so don’t be
concerned about dodgy emails from other companies!!
New Lines
Here is a selection of some of the new lines we have taken stock of
since my last update:
Earth Friendly Kids natural toiletries: these toiletries have all the
natural credentials as their ever popular baby range but include more
grown up packaging and smells for the more grown up child!
Bumgenius birth to potty pocket nappy: due to popular demand from
customers I’ve had this nappy trialled for the shop and was so impressed
with the feedback from my “guinea pigs” that we are proud to be stocking
it.
Medela: we’ve extended our range to include electric and hand express
pumps as well as all of those useful little bits like breast shields and
PureLan.
MohDoh: a lovely playdoh that includes aromatherapy oils to either
stimulate, relax, calm down etc. Perfect for after parties or for car
journeys.
Summer Sale!!
Just to get the sun to pop its head out from behind the flood clouds
we have decided to put all of our summer lines and some other products
into a summer sale. So far the trick seems to be working and we are
getting a bit of sun at last in Worcester City!! We have 30% off much of
the Cut 4 Cloth organic children's clothes, we have sun protection suits
(don’t laugh!) reduced as well as toiletries for Mum. Just call in and
see what’s on offer and grab yourself a bargain or 5.
Sale finishes 13th September ready for the new stock to go on sale to
celebrate our pamper day on 15th September.
Pamper day update
Bookings are now being taken for our pamper day on 15th September
for either a head massage or a mini facial - or for both! Do call in and
book ASAP as we’ve got very few spaces left as this is proving to be a
very popular fundraising event.
For those who can’t make it for the actual pampering we have had amazing
support from the local award winning Glasshouse restaurant situated in
Sidbury who have donated a raffle prize of a meal for 2! We are
therefore selling raffle tickets at £2 each so please do come in and buy
lots so we can together provide Acorns with a lot of much needed
financial help.
Pamper day
Just down the road from Honeybees is the Worcester branch of Acorns
children's Hospice, a facility for life limited children and their
families. As many of us either working in or using Honeybees are parents
we felt that this charity was an obvious local choice for us to support.
Further information on Acorns can be found by clicking on the logo.
What we are offering for the pamper day are free head massages and free
mini facials for a voluntary contribution to Acorns. We are aiming to
provide some light refreshments and other “pamper” things so check back
nearer the date when we will have posted on here updates.
To book a pamper then simply ring us at the shop in advance to book the
15minute slot that you’d like.
Old News
Official Honeybees opening party
19th March 2007 was the official opening party for Honeybees. We started
the day by hosting Worcestershire County councils Real Nappy week’s main
promotional event The Real Nappy Fashion Show. This was supported by
local parents with their babies who all love their nappies. A range of
styles and brands were modelled by the babies with some impromptu
boogying by the toddlers!
The party then moved down to the store where we had balloons, drinks and
nibbles and everyone who supported me through developing my dream of
opening the store partied until late in the evening. Some of the
comments from the guest book can be found on the Comments Page
Worcestershire County Council Incentive Launch
We were proud to support WCC launch their new Real Nappy Incentive
Scheme at the Real Nappy Fashion Show on 19th March. Full information on
the scheme and the necessary vouchers are available in the store or come
along to a Nappachino event.
Worcester News and Honeybees get nominated for a national award
We took out an editorial advert for our launch in the Worcester News and
were really proud to be informed that the feature was nominated for a
national newspaper award with Honeybees headlining the page!
Mums to Be Pamper day
At the end of April we had hot sun locally so we thought about all the
expectant Mums who wanted to wear sandals but couldn’t find their feet
to give them a make-over! Therefore we offered a free Mums to Be
pedicure and / or foot massage at the store on Saturday 19th May 2007.
This was really well attended and gave us a chance to try out the idea
before planning for our main pamper day to be held in September.......
