Well, well, well… look who’s blogging 👀
We’ve only gone and launched a blog! And not just any blog — the Boldly Whittle blog. Ta-dah! 🎉
We’re James and Amy — husband and wife, creative duo, full-time gift makers, part-time content creators, and the faces behind Boldly Whittle. If you've ever ordered a personalised cake topper, card, or gift from us (or just had a nosey around our shop), chances are you've seen a bit of our colour-filled, sentimental, joy-packed world.
Now, we’re opening the studio doors just a smidge wider.
🧐 So… why a blog?
Great question. We’re already spinning so many plates, juggling to-do lists and needing to top-up our brews — so why add blogging to the mix?
Because we love a good overshare.
No seriously, we get so many lovely messages asking how we do what we do, what it's really like behind the scenes, and how we come up with our designs, so we figured — let’s put it all out there.
✏️ What to expect from the Boldly Whittle blog:
✨ Behind the Scenes Bits
Think messy desks, late-night design ideas, and those moments where one of us says “Wait, what if we tried THIS…?” (followed by a lot of laser-cutting, coffee brewing & biscuit munching).
✨ Small Business Tips + Hacks
We’ve learned a lot over the years – often the hard way. From working around nap-time to navigating the world of shipping labels and bespoke packaging, we’ll be sharing the good, the helpful, and the “please learn from our mistakes” moments.
✨ Sneak Peeks + New Stuff
We’ll spill the beans on new launches before anyone else gets a look. Want to know what’s coming soon? Watch this space.
✨ Things That Inspire Us
Could be a colour palette, a funny customer note, or a song we haven’t stopped playing in the studio. If it fuels our creativity, we’ll share it here.
✨ The Real Life Stuff
Running a small biz as a couple is… an adventure. We’ll keep it real. The wins, the wobbles, the weird questions our child asks while we’re packing your lovely orders — all of it.
💬 Got something you’d love us to write about?
We’re all ears (and slightly overwhelmed inboxes). Whether it’s how we started Boldly Whittle, how we design custom gifts, or what our go-to Spotify playlist is when we’re on a deadline — let us know! We’re here to share, connect, and (hopefully) give you a little inspo along the way.
Thanks for being here. Honestly. Whether you’ve been with us since our Studio One48 days or just stumbled across us while panic-Googling for a last-minute birthday gift — you’re part of our story now. 💚💙
Until next time – stay bold, stay joyful, and stay curious.
Love,
James & Amy x
