The Great British Hamper Debate: DIY vs. Pre-Made for a Merry Christmas

Christmas in the UK is synonymous with festive cheer, family gatherings, and, of course, the exchanging of gifts. Among the most appreciated presents are beautifully crafted Christmas hampers, overflowing with treats and delights. But amidst the festive flurry, a crucial decision must be made: DIY or pre-made? This in-depth comparison examines the pros and cons of both approaches, offering a realistic budget breakdown and helping you choose the perfect method for your Christmas gifting needs. We'll consider everything from time constraints and cost-effectiveness to the level of personalization achievable with each method.

The market for Christmas Gift Baskets UK explodes during the holiday season. Retailers showcase an array of options catering to every budget and taste. From traditional festive treats to gourmet selections, the choice can feel overwhelming. However, before you dive into the online shopping frenzy, consider the alternative: creating your own hamper. This option allows for ultimate personalization, reflecting the recipient's unique preferences and creating a truly bespoke gift. But the DIY route demands a significant time commitment, careful planning, and a degree of crafting skill. Let's examine each approach's considerations in more detail.

For businesses, the annual task of corporate gifting demands careful strategy. Selecting the ideal gift showcases appreciation for clients and employees while reflecting positively on the company’s brand. Corporate Christmas Gift Baskets UK present an excellent option, offering a universally appreciated and visually appealing gift. However, the decision between creating these hampers in-house versus purchasing pre-made hampers necessitates a detailed cost-benefit analysis. This includes assessing the time commitment involved in assembling multiple hampers, the potential for inconsistency in presentation across different gifts, and the overall impact on the business budget.

In today's connected world, sending gifts across geographical distances is increasingly common. The ability to Send Luxury Gift Baskets to UK addresses seamlessly streamlines the process, especially helpful during the demanding holiday season. Online retailers specializing in luxury hampers offer secure and reliable delivery services, ensuring that your gift arrives in perfect condition, even across long distances. This convenience is particularly appealing for individuals or businesses with clients or employees spread across the UK or even internationally. But, again, this convenience translates into a cost that requires careful consideration alongside the alternative of DIY.

The allure of premium ingredients and elegant presentation drives the demand for higher-quality Christmas gifts. Christmas Chocolates and Gifts UK and their luxury counterparts are sought-after by those seeking a more sophisticated gifting experience. Gourmet chocolates, fine wines, artisanal cheeses, and other specialty items transform a traditional hamper into a luxurious indulgence. This segment highlights the crucial differences between DIY and pre-made hampers even more sharply. The time and expertise required to source premium items and create a truly luxurious presentation can be considerable, making a pre-made hamper a more practical and potentially cost-effective choice.

Budget Breakdown (DIY):

Basket/Container: £5 - £30 (depending on size, material, and aesthetic appeal)

Filling Materials: £5 - £20 (tissue paper, wood shavings, decorative elements)

Gift Items: This is the most variable cost. Budget £25 - £200+ (depending on items: gourmet food, chocolates, wines, personalized gifts, etc.)

Ribbon & Packaging: £5 - £15 (decorative ribbons, cellophane wrapping)

Shipping (if applicable): £10 - £40+ (significantly influenced by size, weight, and delivery service)

Total Estimated Cost (DIY): £50 - £270+ (a wide range reflecting the variable nature of the gift contents and shipping)

Budget Breakdown (Pre-Made):

Hamper Cost: £35 - £250+ (prices vary greatly depending on vendor, contents, and luxury level)

Shipping: Often included, but could range from £7 - £25+ (consider additional charges for expedited delivery or insurance)

Optional Add-ons: Personalized messages, gift wrapping upgrades, expedited shipping, all add to the cost.

Total Estimated Cost (Pre-Made): £40 - £275+ (price range influenced by hamper choice and additional extras)

DIY vs. Pre-Made: A Comparative Analysis

Choosing the Right Option for You

The best option for you will depend on your particular situation:

Budget: DIY potentially saves money, but pre-made offers predictable pricing.

Time Constraints: Pre-made hampers are significantly more time-efficient.

Crafting Skills: Lack of crafting skills suggests purchasing a pre-made hamper.

Personalization: DIY provides the greatest level of customization.

Presentation: Pre-made hampers ypically offer a superior presentation.

The decision to DIY or purchase a pre-made Christmas hamper is a personal one, dependent on individual priorities and resources. Both approaches offer valid advantages. For a stress-free and beautifully presented option, consider the exquisite range of hampers available from Brezze Gifts. For those with time and crafting skills, a DIY hamper allows for complete creative control. By carefully weighing the pros and cons, you can select the perfect method to ensure your Christmas gifting is both memorable and enjoyable.

20/8/24 [4X DIYS — draft from yesterday, key + significant photos at end]

nobody asked, but regarding yesterdays journal - i actually went to sleep at 3 because i got distracted with patrick stump gifs. i was supposed to just be looking for a few blue coloured ones [raa having a colour themed blog is so annoying // there’s so many cute gifs of musicians that aren’t blue/black and i cant change the colour and therefor cant use them =(] but lost track of time. meaning i was absolutely exhausted when i woke up [8:30]

after waking up, i went outside to say goodmorning to boris and scrolled on scenemo/alt diy tiktoks until i got a message from N ‘apologising’ for yesterday. i say ‘apologising’ because i know they didn’t mean it, and they also said they deleted the photos of me immediately. which isn’t true as i saw them press the send button and then put their phone away. they wouldn’t have had time to delete them before whoever saw them, saw them. this means my mum has told her mum, which i’m super embarrassed about. i don’t like people knowing i’m upset about anything they’ve done/someone they know has done. i’m just still worried about it because i know those photos looked so bad and they sent them to so many people. and now, it dosent matter if they get rid of them because whoever those people were have already seen them. i’m so humiliated.

anyway, i carried on scrolling on scenemo/alt diytok until 10:40 when i finally got dressed while listening to my sleeping with sirens live cd. today i wore my purple asking alexandria shirt, a pair of striped purple and black tights, blue ripped shorts, knee high converse, my my chemical romance [danger days] zip up hoodie, my can tab bracelet, a falling in reverse bracelet, and dark blue skull bracelet, a two row studded cuff, diy kandi + elastic bracelet, sleeping with sirens and panic! at the disco bracelet, and last but not least a spiked kandi cuff. [photos at end]. i haven’t made kandi jewellery in a while because i’ve run out of beads, but once i start seeing my other prevision again, i’ll buy some more. today i’m going to reptile experience/possibly going on a long car ride with my dad so i can listen to music full blast without worrying about anyone hearing.

i couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that there’s stupid photos/videos of me going around to strangers. i know it seems like i’m overreacting, but having photos taken of me is such a big deal in my mind and this whole situation makes me feel like the world is ending. i hate seeing my own face and knowing that other people do aswell. the thought itself disgusts me, i only like pictures of my outfit and sometimes that’s too much. after getting dressed, i did my hair and then went outside with boris at 11:20. the weather was being weird and one second it was boiling hot, and the other freezing. but that’s just the uk for you.

i stayed with him until 11:50 when me and my mum left to go out. boris has started meowing everytime i come out to see him and it’s really really cute. i also took a few videos of him before getting in the car. on the way to reptile experience, i listened to early fall out boy + american beauty/american psycho fall out boy, and a little bit of letterbox tradgedy. when we arrived, everyone was having their lunch so i went into the reptile room and said hi to boris #2 [the bearded dragon] and the other visible animals. i also took a few photos of various animals to put in this journal/this weeks recap [photos at end]. along with observing all the other stuff in the room, like the stuff for the horses/ponies.

once everyone in the other room had finished their food, me and my mum went out to the kitchen/sofa area where the rodents live. S [the lead crew member, she’s lovely], put out some ripped up pieces of newspaper and treats for rat enrichment and set all 4 on the table everyone was sat around. we were told not to pick them up [i think it’s because everyone apart from me was really young and rough with the animals], and just let them come to you. i watched as they had their snacks and scurried around the table and sofa that was just by where i was sat.

three came up to me all at once and hoarded around my bracelets. S said it was due to the shininess of the can tab one, and maybe the smell. i let the rats crawl over my arm/lap/wrist and took a few photos. while doing so one in particular kept on sniffing my phone camera lens so the videos look really silly XD — i took a few bits of the newspaper for an upcoming collage as i found a few paragraphs of writing about true crime and that’s one of my interests. [this feels weird to write, i just find the psychology aspect of it interesting]. once the rats were put away and the enrichment was cleaned up, S & A [the other crew member, the one that makes me feel sick of jealousy due to his looks etc] took out pinecones, some lard, and some birdseed.

i already knew what was coming so i moved my bracelets further up my arm and tied bits of string to a few secreted pinecones. we were then told that we were making bird feeders. i covered the pinecones in lard and then rolled it in a sunflower seed based mix as it had the darkest colours. i made five as S said i could make two for the farmer’s gate and three to take home, yipee // once i was done, i looked at a few of the drawings on the wall. a lot of them were illustrations of five nights at freddy’s animatronics. which gave me an idea to also draw animatronics on small bits of card and line them wherever there’s an empty part of my wall. at 1:40, we walked round to the farmer’s gate and hung the pinecones around the wood. [picture at end] S gave me two that had already been made by various people attending, so when we went back round to the buildings and it was time to leave i got to take home the five that id made!! we headed for home at 2:11 after thanking all the workers. on the way back i stopped off to get low cal boba [photo at end cuz it looks just as good as it was]

in the car, i sorted through the photos taken there into an instagram collage to add to the end of this journal + my weekly recap. [photo collages at end]. i also listened to quite a lot of panic! at the disco’s vices and virtues. we [me and my mum] arrived home at 3:20. i didn’t end up doing for the drive with my dad because it would’ve been around 7 hours in the car, and that’s too long for me to be away from boris in the car unless i’m going away. and even that’s a stretch. i stayed outside with boris until 3:50 when i decided i’m going to put up my bird feeder. i took the pinecones outside and called my mum out to try and work out where i should hang them/what i should hang them from. my mum spawned this plant holder thingy and asked me if it’d be any good. i didn’t have another option and it was an alright improvisation so i went into my room to work out what part of the garden’s bank i can see from through my window.

once i’d worked out a suitable place for it to go, i brought it up to the bank and supported the legs with a few bits of scrap wood planks. then i hung the five pinecones along the frame of the flowerpot part. [photo at end] i finished within -10 minutes and then went back inside to my room. when i first got in, i took my stuff out of my bag to give my dad his battery pack and accidentally got scrap bits of purple-like wood all over my bed. id snapped them up yesterday while at the creek for an idea i had. i thought i might aswell make it now, so collected them off my blanket and got my hot glue gun ready. the idea was to glue them around the metal tin that a candle rests in. which is stupid, because this particular wood is the most flammable in the uk so i most likely wouldn’t even be able to burn it. anyway, i collected a few more bits of stick from the garden and lined them around the tin. i finished at 4:30 and took a few pictures of the finished product. [photo at end]

once again, something else useless i settled on making, but at least it looks cute. i watched two youtube videos :[the rest of ‘Q&A time !!! :D’ by nico vamp, ‘a day in the life | fake 🩸 + pictures’ by maya malice, and then almost two more videos from the same youtuber [[‘a day in the life + randumness :3’, & ‘my problem with scenecore’.]] while listening to the last video listed, i made a collage with receipts from charity shopping on thursday + the bits of newspaper i collected today. i hid a secret message in there [its just ‘meow’, photo at the end] and put together the word ‘empierces.’ which means to pierce. get it? like pierce the veil? anyone?? [photo at end — finished at 6:35]

then i listened to the entirety of falling in reverse’s new album [again] — while doing so, i drew lolbit, RWQFSFASXC, and the puppet from five nights at freddy’s on some card. i put it along the side of my doorframe beside pictures of kellin quinn and pete wentz. [theyre so bad you don’t get a photo] then i went outside with boris at 7:35. he was being his usual polite and cute self and i could also tell he was very happy because he was dribbling at ton xp // he let himself in at 7:50 so i didn’t get to spend much time with him on the driveway, but i followed him inside, checked he had food, and wrote 4 paragraphs from this journal. after finishing that little bit of writing, i saw frank iero’s new instagram post + story like WTF IS GOING ON I FREAKED OUT. LIKE WHATS HAPPENING AT MIDNIGHT FRANK?? i went to see him [boris] again at 10 after looking through scenemo/alt tiktok and letting my phone charge a little.

he stayed out with him my for barely any time before he let himself inside to eat. i came inside with him, and during this one of my cousins pulled up to our house as he got me some of my safe food because otherwise i won’t have anything at all to eat tomorrow and it’ll be really easy to faint if the weather isn’t perfect. him and my mum spoke about the holiday that me and my immediate + extended family are going to. he left at 10:45 and then i had a bath. i usually don’t mention washing [etc] as it’s a boring thing to write about/the same everytime. its not like with the questions about boris or when i wake up because that changes. i’m just mentioning it today as there’s nothing i can fill in the spaces of this journal with.

then i collected a few green day [billie joe armstrong] gifs and went up to my sisters room because i swore she was playing the hello zepp saw themetune on keyboard. it turned out she was, i watched her play it and then came back downstairs again. while i was on the sofa, she started playing something else and asked me if i recognised it. it was numb by linkin park, but i got it to confused with another song of theirs that sounds similar at the start. i went up because she wanted me to watch her play it and she followed on the song with ‘centuries’ by fall out boy.

after she’d finished, i went back downstairs to get myself some icy water, speak to boris, and then do my teeth before having a nap. i put on a timer for 10 minutes because i said i’d check up on him every once in a while but when i woke up it was bright outside and my phone was in the same place i left it before my nap. it turned out i never woke up and never got to say goodnight to boris so i freaked out when i realised. i would’ve gone to sleep at 1.

🗝️ — boris/my cat, prevision/keyworker i have to see instead of being taken back into mainstream education, questions about boris/i ask my parents questions about my cat to verify he's okay + will be okay in the morning. its a compulsive thing and i'm hopefully going to be tested for OCD in the future.

Letters

“You really have moved on, haven’t you?” His former landlady grins at him.

“Mrs Hudson—”

“Oh, I almost forgot. You’ve got some mail. I know, I might have sent it on to you, but I kept expecting you’d come by.” She holds out a small stack of mail. “Nothing very important looking. No bills.”

“It’s fine. You’re right. I should have called or stopped by after…” Flipping through the envelopes, he sees that it’s mostly junk, but there are three addressed in a familiar hand, narrow and angular, not particularly legible. “It’s fine.”

He says his goodbyes to Mrs Hudson, promises to come by again soon. 

Heading home on the bus, he studies the three envelopes. Each is addressed to Dr John H Watson, 221B Baker Street, London, NW1 6XE, UK. The first was postmarked somewhere in Nepal, April of 2012. The second bears a New Delhi postmark and is dated a year after the first, April of 2013. The final one is recent, just weeks earlier, mailed from Istanbul. He doesn’t open them. 

Closing his eyes, he tries not to think. 

I can tell you what you can do. You can stop being dead.

Mary’s not home when he arrives at their flat, and for some reason he’s relieved to be alone. He pours himself a drink, sits down, and looks at the first envelope. 

The envelope is just a normal envelope, somewhat squarer than a business letter. What’s inside feels like card stock. The other two envelopes are identical. 

When he’s satisfied that the outside has no more clues, he uses a knife to slit the top flap and slides the contents out. 

Happy Birthday. A bunch of multicoloured balloons. Inside: I’m sending this card / As I wanted to say / I hope you have / A truly amazing day.

Written below, by the same hand that addressed the envelope: I heard you.

He thinks about that birthday, over two years ago. He remembers coming home, finding Sherlock on the sofa, contemplating some problem. 

Before he can dwell on that memory, he opens the second. Another birthday card, this one with birds and flowers, the kind of card you’d buy for an acquaintance, not a relative or friend. Everything your heart desires / Is what I wish for you / Not only on your birthday / But throughout the whole year too!

Another handwritten message: I’m sorry I can’t be with you today. 

The final envelope was sent in early September. What’s inside is another card, a generic lighthouse scene, the moon over a calm sea. There is no verse, just a handwritten message: I’ll see you soon.

Taking a deep breath, he rubs the tears from his eyes. 

The note he leaves for Mary is a bit terse, maybe even cryptic. They were supposed to have dinner tonight, and he’d made reservations. He might cancel, but she was looking forward to it, so he just tells her to invite a friend. He passes the jewellery store, doesn’t stop inside to pick up the ring. 

Instead, he heads back to Baker Street. Hearing sounds in the flat above, he moves quietly up the stairs.

He’s standing at the window, looking out. From behind, he looks much the same. Thinner, perhaps. He might sense a presence behind him, and turns his head. When he sees who it is, he turns all the way towards the door, smiling. The dead-white tinge of his skin tells John that he hasn’t been leading a healthy life. And somehow, he found the time to mail John three birthday cards. 

Sherlock is silent, his eyes wide. John can’t think of a single thing to say. 

“I didn’t know,” John finally says, stepping towards him. “You must have had your reasons, but I wish…”

The grey eyes overflow. “John.” His voice is rough with emotion. “I’m so sorry.”

There must be no more distance between them, no more silence. Putting his arms around the thin ghost of his friend, he says, “Welcome back.”

Do you have any crafty/artistic hcs about Miss Ireland? I loved your thoughts on the metalwork

Ahhh, thank you for sending me questions, I really appreciate it!!

4 main things stick out to me, one would be her abilities to work with metals. As I’ve said before, something about goldsmith Ireland just speaks to me. I think her favourite things to make by far are broaches or pins, because there’s so many shapes and pictures to make. However, I feel like, in modern day she usually makes necklaces most often, or rings or even bracelets from time to time. Most of the jewellery she owns was made by herself. She works in her basement on smaller things, but she’s very interested in getting a separate place to make things. & she is a gold girlie over a silver girlie.

I also see Ireland as a good songwriter, however, I think she’s much better at writing fictional, made up stories over writing more autobiographical stuff. If she were writing off her own experience, she would probably never get the song done. The words just wouldn’t come out. I don’t think Ireland lets herself process her feelings and her hurt especially. She tries to make jokes out of it, tries to push it down or act as though she doesn’t care, which only makes her hurt worse. So, I suppose, it’s only natural that she doesn’t let herself write songs like that, even if it would probably be very beneficial for her mental health 😅😅

I never thought I’d say any one of the UK & Ireland would be good at physical art. But here we are! I actually feel like Ireland is pretty skilled with a pencil and a brush. She enjoys drawing animals or landscape pictures, however, she doesn’t take this hobby super seriously. She’s not the type of girl to paint on a canvas, or have her own art studio, or even have super top quality supplies. She’s the type of girl to draw in her sketch pad, sat on the sofa, with probably cheap pencils. She maybe has 3 different types of pencils for different size strokes, that’s it. She doesn’t paint often, if she does she uses water colour, and again, pretty cheap. Her art is still impressive though! She’s no Italy or China, by any stretch of the imagination, but she is talented. She has a framed picture of a wolf on her living room wall. She drew it herself. One of the few pieces she shows off in any sense of the word.

And lastly, I wanna go back to something artsy that she’s not so good at: make-up! She doesn’t wear a lot of it in day-to-day life, so she’s not too skilled. She struggles to match tones, and her blending skills aren’t the best. Her foundation is a tad too dark, her eye-shadow is too pigmented of a brown, so the underneath of her eyes can look a bit orange. Her application of previously mentioned foundation can be blotchy, or she cakes too much on to avoid that blotchy look. I want to emphasise, I do not think Saoirse is a chav, she’s not walking around with aggressive fake tan and obviously drawn on eyebrows and very, very badly blended contour. Still, make-up is not her strong suit.

I realise for people who have not been following me for so long they forgot a time I wasn't haunting their dash "my dad is getting weird shit off the Chinese" probably sounds bizzar.

Part of living with my dad is witnessing him go through phases, and some time ten years ago he got really in to Lazer cutters. While looking on eBay for things he got in touch with a company based in China that sells Everything. Just EVERYTHING.

They had something like 7 Lazer cutters just hanging around in a warehouse. When you order things from china it is exported and ends up in the UK it can not be shipped back to china, but by UK law they must accept returns of everything they sell online. So what do you do with all that stuff? Mostly it goes to landfill, but it needs to go somewhere first. You can't just ship it to the dump, and if they let you keep everything and gave you your money back it would be a bad business model.

So these Lazer cutters are sitting in a warehouse after being returned, usually for being broken but we'll get to that in a bit. Dad says, well you can send them to me, I'll look at them, see if I can fix them, and if I can I will. I'll sell them, and then I keep some money, you get some money.

Better than shipping things directly to the dump, so they say sure. He gets these Lazer cutters and for about a year our spare bedroom is full of Lazer cutters. And he does as he said, he checks them out, enjoys fixing them, or if they can be fixed he camabalises them to fix others. One I remember had a broken glass tube so the cooling didn't work, but it still had plenty of bits. He took it apart and sold the bits. He kept some money, and he sends the money on.

They get talking about other things in the warehouse and dad reaches this agreement with them where if they let him know they can send him electronics and he'll have a go at fixing them, and he'll sell them and split the cash.

Except it doesn't quite go like that. As mentioned they are Chinese and English is not their first language, so we start getting some Really Weird Shit. Memorable things include: a preserved rose, jewellery, a hammock with built in mosquito net, cheep lights (including one that has a hovering globe), and on one occasion a huge box of reusable physio bandages. Oh! There was the hoverboards. That was fun and also deadly.

Then one day they send us two pallets of projectors. I mean some poor sod in a lorry had to reverse down my very residential street to deliver two pallets to "the warehouse at [number][road]" which we are not. At which point dad gets in touch with them and says no, you can't just send me everything you don't want to sell yourself, or things that aren't electronic.

We have these projector's for years. We try selling the every which way. eBay, Facebook, giving them people. We saturated the local market with these projectors at a time when projectors themselves are very much going out of style as huge LCD TV's are getting cheep. We still have one or two somewhere in the house.

Things slow down for ages and we don't get many things for a while. We start getting letters though. Due to a change in UK tax law this company, which is more like a lot of companies in a trench coat, need a UK address to send mail to and dad does that. The letters come in and he sends them pictures of it so they can know what is said.

Then suddenly a few months ago they woke up from a hiatus that has been going on since the pandemic and started sending us things again. At first this is fine, electronics, things dad can fix. We've had half moon lights, phone screens, hair dryers, etc. Then the weird stuff starts creeping in again: the huge mechanical clock, the mirror made to look like a window. There's the very cute little kettle the other day. They sent dad a thermos for Christmas which was very nice, like an actual gift, not a return.

And today the rubber mouth with tongue that I do not want to Know.

I said above that most things are returned because they are broken, which is why they get sent here. Broken, dad fixes, then sold on. But actually most stuff that arrives comes in either perfectly functional order or cannibalised.

The working order stuff I figure people ordered cheep shit and wondered why they got cheep shit. Some doesn't fit UK regulation (the plugs on some of these devices! My god!)

But the cannibalised stuff is very interesting. Before we left the EU we'd get packages from all over Europe and Germany was the worst for this. People buy a device, take it apart, take out the part they need, then return it to the company saying the device doesn't work and they want their money back. Which they get, and we get the device. 👀 Sir. We see you sir. You cheepskate. Fixing things doesn't count when you're sending an identical one to landfill for the part.

And that's what I mean when the Chinese are sending us weird shit.

Can you share your Etsy shop/show us some of the jewellery you make? 🫶

hiya omg I'm so sorry for the extremely late response!!! I don't like sharing it publicly on here and I only do UK shipping but if you want the link I can send it :)

A UK-based drag queen well known for his performances to children is fundraising for the funeral costs of a convicted child sex offender he calls his “friend.”

A UK-based drag queen well known for his performances to children is fundraising for the funeral costs of a convicted child sex offender he calls his “friend.”

On January 23, drag queen Aida H. Dee, the stage name of performer Sab Samuel, announced on Facebook that he was fundraising for the funeral costs of Darren Moore, a fellow drag queen.

“Taken unjustly!” Samuel wrote in his post. “I’d like to help give my friend the send off he deserves,” he wrote, providing the link to a GoFundMe campaign for Moore and affixing to the post a photo of Moore and his husband.

But what Samuel neglected to mention was that Moore is a convicted child sex offender. 

Moore, 39, was found dead in full drag costume on the streets of Cardiff City Centre on the morning of 22 January. Previously known as Darren Sewell, Moore was convicted of four counts of rape on a boy under the age of 14 while living in South Wales. As a result, he spent 3 years in a Young Offenders’ Institution.

Following his offense, Moore was also banned from having contact with children. But in 2011, he was caught working with youth as a gymnastics and dance tutor and was convicted of breaching the lifetime order. He was sentenced to a three-year sex offender’s treatment program, a 24-month supervision order, 300 hours of community service, and a six-month curfew with an electronic tag.

Moore changed his name after he married his husband, who is also named Darren.

At the time of his death, Moore had worked as a jeweler and performed drag under the names Crystal Couture, CC Quinn and Dolly. Moore had exhibited his jewellery at RuPaul’s annual Dragcon event in London in 2020. 

As a drag queen, Moore once represented British Airways at a Pride Festival in Brighton in 2018. When his previous convictions came to light, British Airways released a statement saying he did not work for the airline but was brought in by a “third party entertainment agency who supplied a number of people for the event.” They also said they were unaware of his convictions under his previous name.

Also in 2018, audience members walked out of a “Pride Without Prejudice” performance of Moore’s after he made light-hearted comments about child abuser Jimmy Saville.

Investigations are still on-going into Moore’s cause of death, but police have cautioned the public against speculation. Despite this, some members and supporters of the drag queen community have already begun to claim Moore’s death was the result of a “hate crime.”

Upon announcements of his death, the drag queen community, particularly in Cardiff, began mourning the loss of Moore on social media.

Sab Samuel, known as “the story time drag queen” Aida H. Dee, posted on his Facebook page that Moore was “an exuberant human being, taken from the world too early,” adding: “Rest In Power!” 

He also shared that he wore jewelry that Moore made for him, and provided a link to a fundraiser to raise money for his funeral costs. Samuel has been seen wearing the ADHD necklace he references in the post at story time events with children and in official Drag Queen Story Hour UK photos.

Just over two hours later, Samuel posted again in memory of the child sex offender, writing: “Taken unjustly! I’d like to help give my friend the send off he deserves. Please see the link below. This is to support the husband in this horrible horrible time.”

The top comment on the post raised awareness of Moore’s previous convictions saying “Lots of media now reporting on this death but referring to him as a convicted pedophile.” Comments have since been disabled on the page.

Samuel shared the link to a Gofundme for Moore a third time today, which reads:

“Anyone who knew Darren would know how he was never understated in his appearance and costume. His larger than life character and charisma was something that you’ll never forget. We’d like to support Darren and the family and give Darren the biggest send off. If you’re able to and can afford a few quid, please donate what you can to ensure we do him proud.”

The fundraiser has already surpassed the £3,000 (approx. $3,700 USD) target and has raised £4,875 (approx. $6,000 USD) at the time of this writing. One donator left a message on the page reading, “Had the pleasure of meeting Darren last year in Gran Canaria, although very briefly, you could just tell what a beautiful soul he truly had.”

Another donor wrote: “Darren was and will always be a very special person to have known and been a friend with, his out there personality was contagious and he was someone who you couldn’t but love.” 

Samuel has raised concerns on social media in the past for his conduct around children, with some calling his drag costume inappropriate due to its sometimes prominent genital “bulge.”

Despite tremendous backlash, he continues to be routinely booked for “story hour” gigs in libraries and public venues across the United Kingdom.

Just weeks prior to posting in support of Moore, Samuel, who is the founder of Drag Queen Story Hour UK, announced he was set to perform for children at The Tate Gallery in London.

Concerned parents in the nation opposed to Drag Queen Story Hour have established a group called “Art Not Propaganda” and recently stated they have formally complained to The Tate regarding their decision to host the story hour event.

The parents have established a petition which currently has 3,400 signatures, and lists historical posts made by Samuel the group says raises safeguarding concerns.

“Sab Samuel has shared multiple images and comments on social media which raise serious safeguarding red flags. A teacher would be dismissed for the same,” they wrote in the petition. Amongst the infractions are a Twitter post from July of 2020 which Samuels captions “love has no age.” The parents point out that the phrase was popularized by a group which once campaigned to lower the age of sexual consent.

Other groups, such as Safe Schools Alliance UK and the Family Education Trust, have similarly raised concerns about Samuel’s past conduct. On January 13, Samuel responded to the backlash in an interview with Pink News where he blamed the conservative government for enabling “queer hate.”

Just last year, Pink News named Samuel “Leader of the Year” at their annual awards show for his “work with children, helping them fall in love with literature.”

Samuel first rose to infamy after he began touring libraries across the UK to read in his drag persona. He founded the UK branch of Drag Queen Story Hour in 2019, and his enterprise proudly boasts it has been featured by the National Health Service, Greenpeace, Forbes, and more.

In November of 2022, Samuel uploaded a video to Facebook in which he was almost on the verge of tears while recounting his experience hiding his sexuality from a family member’s children.

“I did not want to tell my family member or their children about me being gay because I could have been a danger — I don’t know, it was weird … I think back to that moment, I felt like a disgusting human being. I’d grown up with the idea that being gay was disgusting,” Samuel says. “People wonder why I do drag queen story hours, it’s because of those reasons there. Because I grew up hating who I was. Now, any kids who are queer are not going to grow up with that in their life. I want kids to grow up to love themselves, but to be surrounded by those who love them too.”

As backlash continues to mount against “drag queen story hours” around the world, Samuel’s events have been met with protests.

During one demonstration at Reading Library last year, two protesters managed to interrupt the session while about 25 others continued outside the venue. They were escorted out by staff and the event continued.

There have been similar demonstrations against such events in North America. As a result, antifa militants wielding guns have been seen standing “guard” in front of some venues hosting drag shows for children.

Birthday, singer and actress Lorraine McIntosh born 13th May 1964 in Glasgow.

Lorraine was brought up in Cumnock, Ayrshire from about the age of three. She has been a member of one of Scotland’s favourite bands Deacon Blue since they formed in Glasgow in 1985.

Lorraine didn’t have an easy upbringing, she lost her mother and she said her Dad coped for a while then fell apart, hitting the bottle he started missing rent payments which led to them being evicted, she said the council waited until she had turned 18, a week after that the were out. In an interview for The Big Issue Lorraine poured her heart out saying………..

“I got a phone call from a social worker saying I wasn’t to go home, as dad had been evicted. I was at the bus stop with my friend, but couldn’t get on the bus. She phoned her mum and I ended up staying with them at first. No clothes, no nothing. We lost everything. It just got put in the street. And the saddest thing was I lost all my mum’s things, her clothes, wee bits of jewellery, all put on the street. Gone.”

I empathise with this entirely except I actually got home from school and found all our belongings on the street after we got evicted, I was 13 at the time………..

Lorraine was a regular on the Scottish soap, River City, she has also appeared in three episodes of Taggart playing different roles, more recently she turned up on Outlander last year as Mrs. Sylvie, the owner of a popular brothel in the town of Cross Creek. Also last year Deacon Blue’s 10th album, City Of Love, shot to No 4 in the UK album rankings the week before lockdown, giving the Glasgow outfit their biggest chart success since 1994.

During the pandemic, as well as coping with the strain of lockdown, Lorraine, who lives with Ricky in Glasgow, was taken ill with coronavirus in the early stages of the outbreak.

She said: “It has taken quite a while to get over it completely. I was in bed for three weeks, and then recovered.”

In 2020 Lorraine joined up with the Simon Community’s Nightstop campaign, to encourage people to open their homes to vulnerable young people. The Nightstop service offers young people aged 16 to 25 a safe place to stay when they find themselves in a crisis. All the volunteer hosts are fully vetted and trained. Since starting in Glasgow last year, eight families have provided 96 nights of emergency accommodation. She and her husband, Deacon Blue frontman Ricky Ross, are considering signing up as hosts – but only if the Simon Community think that their high profile won’t get in the way.

I really like Lorraine, and Ricky’s humanity, specifically Lorraine visited Rwanda two years ago to raise awareness of sexual violence against women when she was moved to tears by the testimony of victims. She has recently spoken out against the plan to send refugees coming to the UK to the country and said the country was still recovering from a genocide inflicted during the civil war in 1994 and for ministers to consider sending asylum seekers there is deplorable.

On her trip, she heard of shocking conditions, including child slavery, youngsters being burned to death, and rape being used as a weapon of war to destroy communities.

On her final day in Rwanda, she made a pilgrimage to one of the most infamous genocide sites in the country called Nyamata where thousands were slaughtered in and around a church.

She said: “I was unprepared for the sight of thousands of items of clothing from the fallen folded and piled up on the church pews. The ceiling pockmarked with bullets and a line around the bottom of the wall which our guide tells us is the blood line from the carnage. A river of blood. In the gardens outside 50,000 people lie buried.

Hubbie Ricky made a simple tweet yesterday, the post read "33 years today ❤️" with the photo

Lorraine is set to appear in the new season of Shetland.

The song is my favourite where she sings a strong vocal.

Just need to vent a little here. So I’m in this UK handmade selling group on facebook. I’ve always lurked but never posted until recently. I mean I wasn’t really making anything new or selling my old stuff I’d made for my Etsy the whole reason I stopped selling on Etsy was because it got to much for me as I had a lot of irl shit to deal with. So I post my earrings in the group now this group has the same loose definitions of handmade as Etsy does. By this I mean they don’t expect you to be an artisan who makes their own charms for their jewellery. They literally have people selling craft kits - i.e they are buying in paints and brushes and small pottery bits to then combine into a kids craft kit and selling it in this ‘handmade’ group. Which tbh even I think that’s a little bit pushing the boundaries on ‘handmade’ but most of these people also have Etsy’s and that is within Etsy guidelines. So they accept my bubble tea necklaces and then last night I decide to make a post for the earrings. The same ones I’ve promoted on here the fruity ones, the panda butts and the octopus ones. It gets removed/declined for breaking one of the rules. So I’m like okay let’s see it says ‘not handmade’. So I reach out to an Admin who says she’s going to look into it in the meantime I re submit it to the group so she can find it again and look over it and I assumed accept it. She just gets back to me now and says this

Now I want to clarify again just today they have accepted not one not two but multiple posts from other sellers selling earrings with a charm on. One of them even has the EXACT same charm I have on a pair of earrings I’ve got sat right now in my jewellery container. So this isn’t a case of we don’t think they meet the true requirements of ‘handmade’ this is them saying they think I bought these earrings as is that I didn’t attach the charms myself. Bear in mind before they sent this message I offered to send them proof. I said I could show them receipts of where I bought the charms from. I even said I could show photos of the charms because I have charms sat in my jewellery containers on their lonesome and the earring hooks and the findings and all my jewellery making tools. Fuck I even offered to make a video so fuck it I did make a video which is really bad for me because I’ve been SO bad right now with aches in my wrist and hands. So now I’m thinking oh god next thing I’m gonna get back is some criticism of you don’t look like you know what you’re doing so we don’t believe you. I did put in the post I sent them as proof with the video that I AM disabled and right now my hands are not doing great and I was struggling with grip and got the shakes a little when holding the pliers to open the split ring. There’s a reason I’ve not made jewellery since lockdown (except this Monday I had a good day Monday and made some earrings HOWEVER I bought earring hooks that didn’t require me to use split rings. I’ll have to take a picture but the hooks are basically designed in a way that you can just drop the charms and beads onto it. It’ll make sense when I take the pics and post them. But I just had to vent about this because like what am I meant to do in the future when posting to this group? I post something handmade and if they don’t believe me they’re just gonna go nah sorry fuck off and like then what am I meant to do you know? It’s just so fucking dumb like what is it about these earrings specifically that made you think they weren’t handmade compared to the other ones listed on their group from other sellers. Fuck why did they accept my bubble tea necklaces and not these earrings. Like it feels so arbitrary and it’s like well fuck me I guess then. I mean fuck I’m offering you proof and you just ignore it and reply nah soz we don’t believe you. Without even accepting my offer to show you the receipts like nah fucking old white women Karens of FB tho fr. Like and she over there with her cricut selling vinyl personalised mugs and she’s judging my handmade crafts lmfao (also I don’t actually hate on the cricut I have the curio which is a similar model made from the same company like vinyl be all right but like everyone be doing it and technically she could just be buying in from china and Ali express and no one would know so it’s like half the shit on that group you could look at it and think hmm because if its simple enough then yeah it can likely be mass produced and made in china like it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to buy some charms and put them on jewellery like I am aware that I’m not doing anything particularly special here but cut me some slack it takes me twice as long to make this shit because my hands no work and I can’t make consistently because my hands NO WORK so it’s about all I can manage right now)

Cold-calling companies offering ‘computer repairs’ shut down after preying on vulnerable pensioners

Two UK based companies which defrauded vulnerable pensioners by falsely claiming their computer had a security issue have been shut down.  DT Care Ltd and Amolin Solution Limited were wound-up at the High Court in Manchester on Friday 30 August.  Both companies conned their elderly victims by phoning out of the blue to tell them their computer needed urgent repairs.  The victims, aged in their 70s and 80s, believed they were taking genuine calls from well-known IT companies and allowed them remote access to their computer.  They were then convinced into paying hundreds of pounds for services that were not provided.  David Usher, Chief Investigator at the Insolvency Service, said:  DT Care and Amolin Solution were both used as a vehicle to defraud pensioners by tricking them into believing their computer was hacked or needed vital security repairs. Their tactics were thoroughly dishonest and designed to be aggressive and intimidating.  We take our responsibilities in protecting the public from financial harm very seriously which is why we applied for provisional liquidators to be appointed earlier this summer, to prevent the two companies from further objectionable trading until our winding-up petitions were heard.  The two winding-up orders secured should send a strong signal to the business community that we will use all the powers at our disposal to shut you down if you prey on some of the most vulnerable people in society.  Insolvency Service investigators spoke to a number of pensioners who were scammed by DT Care and Amolin Solution. All the victims repeated the same cold-calling tactics used by both companies to gain remote access to the computer.  In many cases, the callers said they were from Microsoft Windows and claimed their computer needed urgent repairs. Others told the Insolvency Service that the callers had said their computer was hacked, their identity had been stolen or that they could fix their locked machine.  The callers told the victims they could remove the security issue or resolve their problem if they granted them remote access to their computer.  From there, they charged in excess of £400 for the “service” they provided and often attempted to take further payments from the victim weeks or even months later.  Investigators also found evidence that the companies would send unwanted parcels to the customers to suggest they had provided some form of service. In one example, DT Care sent two paperback novels, a mousepad and a wind chime, none of which were ordered by the victim.  Despite posing as IT support companies, DT Care and Amolin Solution both described themselves as e-commerce companies selling clothes, books and “junk jewellery” when they applied to open bank accounts.  The Insolvency Service spoke to directors of both companies who are aged 91 and 88 respectively. Investigators concluded that neither actually ran DT Care or Amolin Solution, with the companies thought to have been instead controlled from India.  Both registered directors were unable to produce accounting records for DT Care and Amolin Solution, meaning the Insolvency Service could not establish precisely who controlled the companies and what they claimed to legitimately trade as.  The Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator of DT Care and Amolin Solution, having previously been appointed as provisional liquidator in early July to stop the companies from further trading and to protect the public.  Since then, the Official Receiver has worked to protect and preserve assets in the possession or under the control of companies pending the outcome of the winding-up petitions.    Read the full article

Im in the uk, it is pretty much small businesses (if they can afford to still be open) and supermarkets, we just started getting costco but its rare you see one, we have wayfair and unless its a specific niche comic book, harry potter shop or somewhere for preteens to get their first goth jewellery or somewhere that sells cheap wigs and tutus for hen parties, it doesnt exist

Your options are stand, eat

and if youre lucky, look at things

We have places that try to be like michaels and spencers gifts but theyre like a small part in the corner where they sell 3 white lady mugs with an outline of an autumn leaf on it, grey fake plastic plants, tacky fake plastic gems, grey beige champagne pink and wicker everything

We dont really celebrate halloween here, its a thing but you cant find good decorations or fun home decor, sweets or items like americans can, especially these days.

youre lucky if you see pumpkins or stickers in the window and its a miracle if you find halloween sprinkles or a mask that doesnt fall apart when you touch it on the shelf, if they even have costumes in the shops

When they do itll be in the back and itll be a row of three things or on a hook next to the cashiers desk

Omg bestie the 3 white lady mugs is sending me 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 The US really is the McMansion of the world lmaooooo

Do you like Westfield? The one in the city is kinda meh now but the one in the South Bay is really nice. They have a whole side for high end stores (cries in broke) and there’s so many snack places 😋 a danger to the pockets of boba lovers!

We have have a store called party city and all they sell mainly is party stuff, even stuff you didn’t think you’d need for a party. They have Halloween costumes, I remember going to one about 10 years ago and the entire back wall of the store was pics of costumes you’d ask the employee to bring out the back for you.

The spirit store is better (not all the time), they have more the lawn decorations and animatronics.

Do you like costco? It can be overwhelming for me sometimes if I don’t know what I need.

Thank you so much for sharing!🩷
