Bee Gifted

Thank You so much!

I just want to take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to some incredible women who have helped bring this rebrand to life 💛

you absolutely nailed the vision for Bee Gifted. From our very first call, to all the chats about what I liked, didn’t like, the little tweaks, the edits, and all the fine details… you somehow turned the mess in my head into a brand that feels so me and so right for the future of my growing business 🐝

thank you for being my sounding board through all the brain dumps, the planning, the “what do you think of this?” messages, and helping me organise the chaos in my head into actual plans and social posts.

My lush ladies and thank you for being my spell checkers, proof readers, and second pair of eyes when my brain had completely fizzled out.

And to thank you for letting me use your skills and helping me tweak my business cards so everything felt more cohesive and polished.

Running a small business can feel lonely sometimes, but this rebrand has reminded me just how lucky I am to have such supportive people around me 💛

I genuinely couldn’t have done this without you all. 💛🐝💛

My website is now OPEN! 💛🐝

After lots of late nights, large cuppas, second guessing, tweaking, redesigning… and staring at screens until everything blurred together 😂 the new Bee Gifted website is finally live!

It’s still a work in progress, and I already know there are products, categories, and little bits I’ll be adjusting over the next few weeks, but the main products you know and love are all there ready for you to browse

If there’s anything you can’t find, please just pop me a message!

And honestly… if you have any feedback, I’d genuinely love to hear it because I think I’ve become completely blind to the website after looking at it for so long 😂

Thank you so much for all the love and support today. Every like, comment, share, order, and message means more than you know 💛

I really hope you love the new branding as much as I do, and I’ll keep sharing updates as more new bits are added!

One of the details I’ve been most excited to reveal is the new Bee Gifted business cards 🐝

These will now be included with every online order, market purchase and in-person sale and I wanted them to feel just as thoughtful and personal as the gifts themselves.

The QR code takes you straight to me where you can choose to visit my website, Etsy store or social media so it’s super easy to browse, reorder or share Bee Gifted with someone else 💛

I need opinions…

✨ What’s your favourite part?
The colours, honeycomb design, logo or overall vibe?

Launch day is almost over and over the next few days you will see my branding come to life on my socials.

Look at what we have here.....

The new Bee Gifted colour palette 🐝💛

I know some of you were probably expecting lots of bright yellows… so the greens may come as a bit of a surprise 🌿

But I wanted the rebrand to feel calmer, warmer, more natural and more timeless. Think cosy gift shop, countryside walks, jars of honey on wooden shelves, beeswax, botanicals and little moments of calm 💛

A yellow did have to stay of course… because Bee Gifted without yellow tones would just feel wrong so we have something a little more subtle.

Were these the colours you expected?
Which shade is your favourite?
And was there any colours that surprised you?

I know you have all been waiting for this little beauty!

So meet the new Bee Gifted logos💛

Each logo has its own little purpose and you’ll start spotting them across:
🐝 the website
💛 social media
🐝 packaging
💛 stickers
🐝 clothing
💛 market displays

These logos are exactly what I wanted for my new branding and of course I was never going to leave out the BEE!

Honestly showing you all this today is making me feel quite emotional!

Which one is your favourite?

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have realised that I actually sneakily shared the new fonts last week....

But now it’s time to properly introduce all THREE fonts behind the new Bee Gifted look 🐝💛

I wanted fonts that complemented each other while still feeling:
✨ clear and easy to read
✨ warm and welcoming
✨ timeless with a slight vintage feel

So here we have
🐝 Fairytale
🐝 Luxenta Reg
🐝 Omnes

It’s funny how something as simple as a font can completely change the feel of a brand… but these feel very Bee Gifted to me 💛

Which one is your favourite?

Get in the mood!

The first step in this whole process was finding the right mood. I had to really think about what spoke to me not just as a business, but as a person, a maker, and a brand.

I was really torn between these two: one bright and airy, the other deep, earthy, and a bit more sophisticated. In the end, one of them just tipped the scale....

Which one do you think I chose? Let me know your guesses in the comments! The full reveal is tomorrow.

My rebrand launch is happening in TWO parts 🐝💛

Part one launches tomorrow on World Bee Day 💛🐝💛

This is the online side of Bee Gifted:
🐝 website
💛 socials
🐝 Etsy
and where you will see the new logos and colours....

BUT…

Part two felt much harder to decide.

Where do you launch something you’ve poured your heart into when every market feels special in its own way?

In the end, my heart chose home 💛

So the OFFICIAL in-person launch of the new Bee Gifted brand will be at .mcr.alt.market on Sunday 31st May ✨

This was one of the first events I attended before they rebranded themselves and from day one the organisers and traders made me feel welcome, relaxed and completely at home.

It’s also where I met my market mum 💛

So it only felt right that this would be the first market where the new Bee Gifted makes its full debut 🐝

Same favourite bee-themed gifts and honey… just with a fresh new look 💛

📍Old School Rooms, Long Street, Middleton, Manchester M24 6UN from 11am - 4pm.
