'Twas the night before Christmas...'

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...'
Children's Christmas Eve Kit by Vintage Twee
This year Vintage Twee has been busy in the studio creating some cute Christmas items that will bring a smile to your little ones, friends and family over the festive period!

Our Children's Christmas Eve Kit will keep the Christmas magic alive and is full of traditional items for your children to leave out in anticipation of Santa's arrival! There's a 'Drink Me' tag to tie onto his glass of sherry, a party pick to pop in his mince pie, a gorgeous little organza bag filled with 'Yummy Reindeer Food' for Rudolph, a tag containing 'Santa's Magic Key' and a note card to write him a special message. All these lovely things come presented in a vintage style hessian bag which has been embellished with a red gingham bow and button. The kit comes complete with a kraft tag which will be printed with your child/children's names to add a personalised touch.




We thought this kit would provide a wonderful memory for children and enhance that magical atmosphere that only a night like Christmas Eve could possibly hold!

Vintage Music Novelty Christmas Rosettes
Another new and exciting addition to the festive range this year are our Vintage Music Novelty Christmas Rosettes! These have been especially created for your friends and family members to add a comical touch to the turkey dinner..and they are the perfect accessory for those Christmas jumpers!

And let's face it...there's a role for everyone at Christmas - whether you're Scrooge, Santa's Helper, Head Chef or The Chauffeur (always responsible for taking Grandma home), you can wear your rosette with pride. We have a selection of popular and entertaining Christmas family roles or why not personalise these for a small additional charge and choose your own text such as family nicknames!


These rosettes are great for male and female guests and are a perfect keepsake that can be brought out year after year to create your own Christmas tradition.

'Your Ticket to Riches' Lottery Scratch Card Holders
We also have our popular items from last year which are back and ready to adorn your Christmas dinner table! These are our festive 'merry christmas' and'eat me' party picks in kraft card with cute red and white twine bows and our brilliant 'Your Ticket to Riches' Festive edition Lottery Scratch Card Holders. Fill with a standard £1.00 scratch card to make fantastic favours or gifts for your family and friends – or personalise with your guest's name to create amazing (and potentially profitable) place settings!

'merry christmas' Party Picks
Vintage Twee's Christmas range of items are all available to purchase online now from www.vintagetwee.com


We just hope we haven't induced a state of Christmas panic now amongst our readers... :)

Wave the words of love....

Being lost for words is something one should never be at a wedding, especially if you’re the groom looking for some last minute inspiration for your heart rendering speech! And sometimes the simplest of words are the most effective - the ones that make us think, make us smile and most importantly, give us food for thought. Each night at my local tube station a member of staff posts a “quote of the day” at the entrance to the escalator and as I’m on my way home after a stressful, busy day at work, reading one line of inspiration will, without fail, make me laugh, muse or at the very least wonder where on earth they got that one from!
If you’re looking for a way to bring some love inspired citations to your wedding day or love themed event, look no further than the latest Vintage Twee product, Love Quote Flags. Designed to be used as centre piece decorations, buffet/candy table trimmings or alongside name place settings, these old fashioned styled flags have been printed with a different classic quote about love by some of the most inspirational people of days gone by. A neutral buttercream colour means the flags can be customised with your choice of bow to match your theme- currently available in red, dusky pink, light pink or ivory but let Joanne know your preferred colour and she’ll do her best to match!
With 8 flags costing just £5.50, they come carefully packaged in cellophane gift bags to keep them in pristine condition until your big day. Each flag measures approx 16cm long x 8cm (widest point of the flag) and look stunning individually or clustered together to make a nest of quotes and a real talking point for your guests. Perfect for any event where you want your guests to be entertained by literary genius’s and let their own imaginations run wild!

Make sure you don’t miss out on adding a special vintage touch to your main event by pitching your flags on every table! www.vintagetwee.com
