I’m back from an incredible glasto experience, which couldn’t have been more topical if it tried. With a surprise appearance by the one and only David Attenborough, a strong #extinctionrebellion presence and a site wide focus in recycling and ban on single use plastic #sustainableliving was on everyone’s mind.
Big respect to Sir David Attenborough for the continued work he does inspiring generation after generation with nature’s sheer beauty and calling to arms for considera...te living. He praised the fact that Glastonbury Festival ‘s ban on plastic bottles saved over a million in waste. Get behind the drive and get yourself #hotcocoahomeware ‘s COLLAPSIBLE (!) reusable coffee cup if you haven’t already. Available in L and XL, £7 and £8 respectively, in #pastel pink, green, #velvet green and #skyblue. Buy through the online #Etsy shop and it’ll be posted out to you using #recycledpackaging as always

It’s #justacard day - celebrating an incredible wave of support for UK independents 💪 Get behind the campaign and support your economy - did you know that every £1 spent with a small or medium-sized business 63p stayed in the local economy, compared to 40p with a larger business?! (The Guardian)
To celebrate I’m sharing a personal find of brilliant conversation starting badges I picked up at the same time as ordering my Just A Card badge last week (Get yours here for £12 and ...support the campaign: www.justacard.org/shop)
I’ve added these pins to my personal studio wear - drop me a line and I’ll pick you one up too - £5 inc P&P 💌
Let’s prompt conversations and be proud makers, creators, and supporters of independents!

A green living chuckle for a Friday 🤭💚

I know some of you wonderful global (!) hoccocoa family members are last minute-er’s, SO, if you’re still looking for an extra special, personal, gift for an occasion coming up the HotCocoa Gift Certificate is perfect. Beautifully printed on recycled card, I can pop them in the post directly to the lucky recipient (saving you hassle, time, and postage cost of larger gift).
The best thing? It keeps on giving - a local businesswoman and her studio doglet do a happy dance, and ...someone receives a gift that lets them choose something useful or beautiful that’s JUST RIGHT for THEM.
I take good care of each of my gift certificate customers, you can rest assured they’re in for a personalised experience packed with love. After all, HotCocoa is #homewarewithheart
Drop me a line and I’ll take care of it right away 💌

HC at MIB, Bedford Town Centre 💌🌿

Stop what you’re doing and head into town - #Bedford’s crazy good #fiverfest starts today and Bedford independents are on BBC News!
So proud to be a small part of a town that is fighting for the success of the #independenthighstreet (👏 Fiver Fest Bedford) and I couldn’t be more behind it, so, from the 8-15th June you can get the hand marbled bone china latte mugs for just a FIVER (usually £12 online!) when you buy any other product from HC stocked at Made in Bedford beside t...he corn exchange, no minimum 👈 🤯 😍

Go and support your high street and pick up an absolute bargain of love in person and support the wonderful Made in Bedford at Number 13 with a coffee and cake while you’re there! I’ve limited it to three available at MIB for now, so go go go!

For anyone still looking for a gift, the HotCocoa stocked travel mugs are fully collapsible, reusable, BPA free and dishwasher safe. Lots of cafes including the lovely Made in Bedford at Number 13 offer a discount on takeaway coffees when you bring your own cup, which is just an additional delicious bonus when you realise you’re not adding to unnecessary landfill waste 🌿💚 Did you know that despite looking like cardboard 99% of takeaway cups aren’t recyclable and every minute ...1 million end up in landfill?!
And what sets HC’s apart is that when you’ve finished your coffee they fold down and can slip into your jacket pocket - tried and tested for practicality by me the coffee connoseur on everyday dog walks 🐕 and highly recommended.
Available in 350ml for £7 and 500ml sizes for £8, in wool grey, pastel blue, blush pink, and soft green, online, from the studio in Bedford, and in store at @madeinbedford - just drop me a line!
