Where does Mother’s Day come from and why do we celebrate It?

Why are 'keepsake' gifts so much better than 'throwaway' gifts?
Gift giving is a timeless tradition that has been passed down through generations. It’s a way to show someone you care, express your love and appreciation, and make their day a little brighter. But with so many gift options available, it can be tough to decide what to get. That's where keepsake gifts come in - they are gifts that are meant to be treasured for years to come, rather than just being used once and then discarded.
What is "Galentines Day" and why should I be celebrating it?
Spreading love and positivity: Galentine's Day is about spreading love, positivity, and joy. It's a day to forget about the stresses of everyday life and to focus on the relationships that bring us happiness and support.
The Thoughtful Marketing Movement
When special occasions come around each year we often send out emails or newsletters to give you some thoughtful gift ideas. We never want any of our customers to worry about opening up their emails at what could be an already difficult time for them. With that in mind we have signed up to be part of the Thoughtful Marketing Movement.
No Mow May
Wildlife and nature expects have discovered that by allowing the grass and garden to grow, just for 1 month, you can actually help pave the way for new plants, increasing the chances of bees, butterflies and birds paying a visit to your garden.
Sustainability Statement
Since 2008 Letterfest has been creating handmade gifts. These gifts have always been designed and manufactured to minimise the negative impact they have on the environment but we want to go much further.

Tales from the garden - March
Flowers are sprouting up across the garden in a colour explosion. With no frost to worry about, the magnolias have put on a great display with an eruption of pinks, purples, and whites across the garden, contrasting well with the whites, reds and pinks of the late flowering camellias.
Tales from the Garden - February
As I write this month’s blog, the sun is streaming in through the window. The garden is very spring like, a small colony of white and purple crocus have colonised the tearoom lawn. Snowdrops and hellebores which are still flowering, will soon give way to the masses of daffodils that are spread across the garden.
