We had just launched a new range of glitter kits when coronavirus hit the UK and everyone was talking about going into isolation, which was gutting for us. We’d sent out lots of personalised kits to our fellow suppliers before coming to a bit of a dead end with it – then we had a lightbulb moment! In the wake of all the wedding cancellations that were going on, we wanted to show our couples that we cared, so we came up with the Mini Isolation Survival Kits. They include one of our eco-glitter blends, aloe gel for applying, a mirror and a looks card. Who has received them? We posted about the kits on social media for people to message us so we could send out packages to our fabulous NHS staff, key workers and anyone else who needed a pick-me-up in these strange times. The kits have made their way to hospital wards, schools and brides. We also opened them up for everyone for Mother’s Day after seeing how sad people were that they couldn’t spend time with their mums. Tell us a bit about your company… We’re an eco-glitter bar, which is available to hire across Essex and Kent for weddings, festivals parties and events. We have a huge selection of eco glitter, reusable gems and paints, along with an awesome team of artists who go all out to give your guests some festival sparkle to party in!
