December 2022 was technically our first Christmas as a trading business — but it wasn’t really. We’d launched in November with limited inventory and no preparation for Christmas demand. Stock ran short before the end of November. Some customers who wanted to order for Christmas couldn’t, because there was nothing left to order. We learned […]

When we launched the Gaucho BBQ Grill Apron in November 2022, we faced a packaging decision that most new product businesses face: commission bespoke branded boxes, or find another way. Custom packaging for a first production run is expensive, slow, and commits you to a volume before you know whether the product will sell. We […]

When we launched the Bison Skewer in September 2023, the core design decision was the flat blade. Unlike round rod skewers, the flat profile locks food in place — no spinning, no uneven cooking, no chicken thigh rotating away from the heat mid-cook. One skewer, £15. Solid product, clear purpose. Within weeks of launch, the […]
