Why 'The Red Squirrel'?

We have called our shop 'The Red Squirrel' but we often get asked why?

Red Squirrels are local to where we live, in Cumbria, they are playful and beautiful. As a family we have enjoyed many hours watching red squirrels. 

We decided to name our shop after these beautiful animals, because we aim to offer a carefully curated collection of stationery, gifts and greetings card that are beautiful and playful, just like the Red Squirrels.

It's also a nod to a much loved family member who loved red squirrels and once told us they could see them playing at the end of their bed.

Follow us on social media to see our latest products, special offers and competitions.
