We daren’t say the C word yet but the truth is, it is rapidly rolling in and there are some things that it pays to be organised with.

Such as charity Christmas cards. And Christmas shopping.

Since 2019, the number of Christmas cards being bought has dropped by around 26 percent.

Yet sending a greeting card is a simple act of kindness that can make all the difference the 2 million people who experience seasonal loneliness and depression (in the UK alone).

Sending a charity Christmas card is also an easy way to support charities that matter to you, both raising funds and awareness for their many good causes.

We know the cost of living has gone up, though. Which is why we’re running a special offer on our charity Christmas card packs and across our online BFT shop.

Until 2nd December, you can purchase our charity Christmas cards for £4 (a saving of £1.50) and enjoy FREE p&p.

We’re also spreading the FREE p&p out to all of the lovely bee-friendly gifts and stocking fillers available in the BFT shop, so you can buy without any additional £££ at the checkout.

For the person who has it all: Our bestselling beeswax stubby candles (pictured) are hand-dipped in the West Country and smell divinely of honey, naturally.

For the young, and young at heart: There’s not many who can resist our knitted bees and Christmas bee decorations. Each one is unique and made by our nationwide team of nifty-needle volunteers.

For those who want sustainable stocking fillers: We salute you. Instead of throwaway items, gift our bee-friendly wildflower seed mix, our Pollinator Power board game and a Build-a-Bee puppet – all designed for us by talented British artists.

So what are you waiting for? The final postage date for UK second class is 18th December and that’s really not that long!
