Wimbledon Giveaway: New Balls Please!
Summer has arrived, and with it comes the excitement of the Wimbledon season – complete with strawberries, cream, and two weeks of world-class tennis from 29 June to 12 July 2026.
With tennis balls flying across the courts, we can't imagine a more fitting mascot for the season than Archie, the lovable tennis-ball hoarder brought to life by artist Alison Friend.
As Alison explains:
"I have such fond memories of spending long, lazy summer afternoons playing tennis with my son in the garden. It was idyllic... right up until our dog decided the game was actually called 'Steal the Balls and Refuse to Give Them Back.'
Archie is a tribute to that fiercely loyal (and slightly greedy!) energy. The way he is clutching that mountain of tennis balls like they're made of solid gold just cracks me up. He's not going to play with them – he just doesn't want you to play with them either!"
Celebrate the Summer Season with a Special Gift
To mark the occasion, every carriage-free order of £150 or more placed between 29 June and 12 July 2026 will receive, completely free:
- 6 cards featuring "Archie" by Alison Friend
- 6 cards featuring "Strawberry Bowl" by Hannah Pontin
A delightful seasonal gift inspired by two of summer's greatest pleasures – tennis and strawberries!
