OUR STORY AND THE TRUE SENTIMENT BEHIND SENDING ‘A TOAST IN THE POST’
‘A Toast in the Post’ launched during the 2020 pandemic as our exhibition business of 25+ years came to a sudden standstill. We had always had the idea for ‘A Toast in the Post’ but never had the time or opportunity to move forward with it.
We spent 9 months setting up the business, as a great deal of time went into designing the 100% recyclable packaging to accommodate the various toasts, and the personalisation element of the website was a real challenge. A Toast in the Post was launched in November 2020 and six weeks later we were the lucky winners of the Theo Paphitis’s #SBS (Small Business Sunday) Twitter competition and we have since attended an event to meet the man himself which was phenomenal.
In our first year we have been Finalists for the Enterprise Vision Awards, the Micro Business Awards UK, and the Lancashire Red Rose Awards. We were also selected to be part of Small Business 100 which included an invitation to the House of Lords, and we won a Kitchen Table Entrepreneur grant run by the Sun newspaper and Camelot. In February 2022 Jacqueline Gold announced we were one of her top 3 winners of 2021 and we have been invited for a mentoring lunch with her in Summer 2022 which is just incredible to have such recognition.
There are always those moments in life when we need to find more ways to “stay close” with family, friends and colleagues, and be in each other’s thoughts even when you can’t be there together in person. Every single ‘toast’ is bursting with sentiment as the tipple is chosen by you, and sent with a personalised message which can feature either a personal photo or you can choose from our range of predesigned cards. The perfect gift for any occasion, or no occasion at all, a ‘just because’ gift to let someone know you are thinking of them.
Cheers!
David & Jane
