Happy Christmas to all our customers, staff and suppliers. Thank you for shopping small and supporting us.

So we are being ‘relocated’ from my unit of 11 years to a smaller unit that needs huge amounts of work done to it. Not our choice, but our landlords.

Yes, stress off the scale… 😂🙈

Soo…. This also means we are having a MASSIVE sale. Over half of our stock has been reduced in our new year sale, and in our clearance section we have discounts of up to 60% !!

We are also offering FREE postage on ALL orders until 3rd Feb

Check it out, grab a bargain!

Offering a wide range of homeware, toys and gifts for all ages and seasons. Same-day dispatch and 30-day money back guarantee.

So we’ve officially clocked off until the 27th December 😃🎄

Any orders placed between 12pm today and 9am on Friday 27th will be dispatched on the 27th.

Another year with all the ups and downs in a tough climate for our small business, but we are still here and continue into 2025 🫶

Thank you to all our customers that support small and local - which makes Blue Whale possible ❤️

A big shout out to our staff, Aaron, Claire, Tina, Steph, Krystle, Joe (and our two Christmas temps Cheryl and Ann) who work so hard and who we appreciate so much. Our Team at work, but also our friends 😘

Myself, my husband Alan, Our Manager Aaron and all our amazing staff wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy and loved 2025 🎄

So here we are, Krystle and I, the last two standing on Christmas Eve, still smiling but ready to shout “over and out!” 😃😃😃🤩

Enjoy all 🎄😘❤️

Like so many small businesses we have been made, well forced, is the only true and accurate way of describing it, to close our European shops. We are no longer able to sell to our EU customers or our Northern Ireland customers.

This is due to the new GSPR regulations that come in to force on December the 13th.

Today we had to make the decision to close all these selling platforms.

We are devastated. We have many customers in Europe but an even larger amount in Northern Ireland, and just want to say how sorry we are.

We are going to try our very best to navigate a way to reopen our stores as soon as the ‘system’ allows us too.

Brexit really is the gift that keeps giving.

Like so many businesses who are in exactly the same position as us, this is a real hard blow, and we really hope it can be resolved soon.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, It really means the world to myself, my husband Alan, Aaron our Blue Whale manager and our team that work for us. ❤️
