Red Berry Apple


Here at red berry apple we have recently celebrated our first anniversary. We are Joyce and Nicola a mother and daughter team who have always enjoyed making things from scratch or modifying pieces to make them unique. The last year has been really hard work, often working long hours but it’s been very rewarding to see our business grow. On our website www.redberryapple.co.uk we sell a range of handmade gifts as well as a selection of items that we love and think you will too. 
Our personalised ragdoll is a firm favourite with girls of all ages. You select your colours and hairstyle and we create her especially for you. She makes a perfect thank you gift for flower girls and bridesmaids. Alternatively she is often used for the flower girls to carry down the aisle instead of flowers. She is also popular as a christening or special birthday gift.
Another popular item is our Super Hero cape which again can be personalised. They make fantastic thank you gifts for Page Boys and Flower girls, especially if they have been little stars on your special day. Our capes also make excellent birthday or Christmas gifts.

We are pleased that our little pocket mirrors have been a success with the apple and owl versions being popular gifts for teachers. The beautiful satin backed mirrors and the tartan silk versions make great wedding favours.
     

We’ve enjoyed some great feedback from our customers and recently we heard from a lady who had bought a cape as a christening gift. She told us that the little boy who received it voted it his best present that day!
As we head towards Christmas we are getting ourselves organised so we are ready for one of the busiest time of the year. Next year we plan to add new items to our range and to focus more on helping brides make their wedding day unique.

Pipers for Weddings

Something a bit different for your big day - a female pipe. With 30 years piping experience, both solo and pipe bands, I can play some "old favourites" for your wedding.  

My piping career includes a piper with Dunoon Grammer School Pipe Band for 10 years, 5 of which were as Pipe Major each of those years playing as solo piper on the balcony for "Lights Out" at Sunset Cermony, Dunoon (mini Tattoo); playing before Princess Margaret for the opening of Drimsynie Holiday Village, Lochgoilhead; performed with the pipe band on This is Your Life for Sir Fitzroy McLean in the days of Presenter, Eamonn Andrews; featured with the pipe band on Scotland Today presented by Angus Simpson which covered Cowal Europe in Belguim;  and, my highlight, receiving a pipe band prize from Princess Diana at Rothesay Games.

The stirring sound of the pipes is always well received and I enjoy playing for special occassions, burns suppers, weddings, etc and do so in a very professional manner.

I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Douzo - Wedding List


Make it easy to get what you want with DOUZO

DOUZO is a new, different kind of wedding list.  It’s easy to set up and easy to use.  No more unwanted gifts, no duplicate gifts – and no hassle.

DOUZO lets you mix all kinds of gift on just one list.
o       From any shop or website
These gifts could come from anywhere: from mainstream shops, websites, through to charities and independent local retailers.  People can buy for you or send money for you to buy on their behalf.
o       Money contributions
Maybe you’re looking for a fabulous painting or a big piece of furniture? Maybe you’d prefer amazing experiences on your honeymoon? People choose how much to give you.  They enjoy knowing how their contribution will be used.
o       Pledges of help
These might cost very little but still mean plenty.  Perhaps you could use help renovating your home? Perhaps some babysitting would give you a welcome night out? 

If you can imagine it, you can list it.

Make your list personal with photos and your choice of list design.  Share it online with friends and family anywhere in the world.  They pick a gift and know that their choice is unique and welcome.  Any money comes directly and immediately to you; nothing is taken from what people give you.

We’d be delighted to help you get what you want for your special occasion.  Discover DOUZO at douzo.co.uk.
