Galentines/Palentines/Valentines… here’s to celebrating love in all its forms (especially in the form of an adoring cat baking biscuits on your lap 💕)

It’s hard to find the motivation to post right now, given the state of *gestures broadly at the world* especially when you specialise in frippery and whimsy. So I remind myself that gift giving is about connection, love, empathy; everything we need more of right now.

Also, it feels more important than ever to add one’s voice to the right side of history. If you’ve ever bought a badge, print, or sticker from us, you’re probably already aware of our political leanings. Heck, if you’ve looked at our door at any point over the past 9 years, you will have seen a quote about unity from Jo Cox, the MP murdered by a domestic terrorist in 2016, so it’s not like we’ve ever claimed or sought to represent any kind of political neutrality in that respect.

And right now, neutrality looks an awful lot like complicity. So here’s a selection of some of our current badges, including some new ones that arrived today. If any of them bother you, oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️ 👋🏻

Happy New Year, one and all. I hope 2026 is the year you need it to be ❤️ We’re back open on January 2nd, see you then 🥂
