As many of you may well know our salt & peppers (our little people), have become synonymous with Cromwells.
We bought them exactly a year a go as a Valentine’s Day fad. I’d seen them on a kitchenwear website, and thought they’d be perfect. Just something that would sit on the tables, and remind our customers what day it was. We were even going to give them away to the people that had booked that evening, until everyone commented & said how nice they were.
So we decided to let them stay. Over the last year we’ve sold just over a thousand of them. Seriously. It’s a talking point to say the least. People make them talk to one another, children give them names, and the adults… well, erm, I’ll just say we find them in “various positions” when they vacate the table! They even took part in the office nativity at Christmas.
The one question i get asked often is “where do you get them from?”. My answer is, we sell them. The main reason for this blog post is to make people aware that we sell them.
Just before Christmas, the little people have been wandering off. Jumping into peoples handbags, some have returned, but many, sadly have not.
We sell them for just £6 a set for the plain black & white ones and £10 for the limited edition range, that we design ourselves.
So why not come in and pick up a set? They make a perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
