Keen to highlight themselves as a destination for hand made artisan items that are affordable, Amazon Handmade has announced the launch of a new Pocket Money Range; a selection of unique, handmade and personalised gifts, all for less than £7. The dedicated range includes bath products, homeware, jewellery, stationery, and more, all for less than the average weekly pocket money in the UK.
Today, TV presenter and mum-of-four, Stacey Solomon launched the Pocket Money Range at the Amazon Handmade pop-up in London’s Soho (55a, Dean St, London, W1D 6AG).
The pop-up is free to attend and open from 10am-8pm on the 9th and 10th March. Visitors to the pop-up will be able to shop the new Mother’s Day collections and try their hand at making unique, personalised gifts, with the help of the skilled artisans who sell on Amazon Handmade. As well as bookable sessions, there are a range of creative workshops to drop into across the two-day event, and these spaces will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, with all workshops free to attend.
I’ve always shopped for special presents on Amazon Handmade, so I’m really excited to help launch the new Pocket Money Range. I love that kids can get involved with choosing something for their mums this year, rather than a partner or parent remembering at 9pm the night before! Pocket money these days goes a lot further than when I was a kid… I used to save up my lunch money to get a chip roll.
One of my best Mother’s Day memories was at Columbia Road Flower Market a few years ago. It was one of my favourite moments, spending time together as a family, walking along looking at all the flowers.
My ultimate relaxation is getting stuck into some arts and craft projects with the kids – it fills me with joy! Last Valentine’s Day, we made a plate for Joe with all our fingerprints on. It’s the little handmade presents that we keep forever – I have stacks of those handprint cards the kids have made at school and nursery.
