MAGAZINE FEATURES

BDC would like to thank both Your Surrey Wedding and An Essex Wedding magazines for featuring Baby, Don’t Cry in their recent issues. Jam packed with tons of information, products and ideas they are a must have for all brides (and grooms!) to be! Also a thank you to Asian Bride magazine who will be mentioning Gentleman’s Hank in their November issue.

GIFT BOXES

Please be aware that all black gift boxes are now sold out!

CONFETTI HANKY

OMG – they are nearly sold out!! There won’t be another order until next year…………

NEW WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

EEEK! I washed my little boy’s Gentleman’s Hank (in blue) in the washing machine and I am afraid the colour ran…………..so I take it all back: BDC now recommends that all hanks and hankies should be washed by hand!

REMINDERS

Large Order Discounts – Winter Weddings

The wedding season is upon us! Well it has passed, however the Winter Wedding season is just around the corner so, if you know of anyone about to tie the knot this winter don’t forget to recommend SilkHankies. They make brilliant accessories for brides and bridesmaids – tuck one into your garter like Millie Dollar! Of course they are functional too and what better way to dab away tears of joy than with a Confetti or Daisy Daisy for example?

In addition BDC offers substantial discounts for larger orders, so if you are considering buying more than 10 hanks or hankies as thank you gifts for bridesmaids or perhaps posh wedding favours then give us a call to discuss a discount.




Existing Customer OFFER – My Only Sunshine running low!

Back in May, Baby, Don’t Cry embarked on a challenge to get a SilkHanky into every handbag! We want to see an end to shrivelled paper tissues leaving fluff in our pockets and bags and the return of the proper handkerchief - they look so much more pretty when you have the sniffles…..or even ‘something in your eye’ (think romantic black and white films).

We are giving away a FREE summertime favourite ‘My Only Sunshine’ when you recommend BDC to a friend: all your friend has to do is :

· make their purchase through the website - this must be at least 2 handkerchiefs.
· contact us either by email or by phone and quote your previous order details (name and address) and we will send you both a FREE ‘My Only Sunshine’.
· PLEASE NOTE that if you recommend more than one friend you will not qualify for another free hank/hanky!

So spread the word about our gorgeous SilkHankies and receive your freebies! The offer ends on 31st December 08.

The competition closes on 31st December 2008 and the winner chosen by the end of February in time to provide inspiration for brides for the new year and to see some gorgeous winter brides and grooms….bridesmaids etc etc!
