You’re probably wondering why we haven’t posted in a while. Well there are actually two reasons for this:
1. We’ve been rushed off our feet with Christmas orders over at The Milk and Honey Boutique
2. We’ve been developing our new blog in the background.
So if you’re reading this now, you’re probably looking at our wonderful new blog! Having exhausted all the possibilities with Blogger we’ve decided to move over to WordPress (hurrah!) and we’re very happy with the outcome. Have a look around – you’ll find all your favourite posts still here, and if you have subscribed via RSS they you don’t need to update any links as we’ve done it all for you!
As normal service has now been resumed, you can expect plenty of new posts from now on..!

We’re currently feeling the knock on effect of the postal strike and some of our customers are suffering from delayed deliveries of their Milk and Honey goodies.
Not wanting to keep our customers waiting, and with the possibility of more strikes ahead we’ve decided to temporarily scrap our Royal Mail services and offer you a reduced rate 48 and 24 hour courier service to make up for it!
Our 48 hour service is down from £4.95 to £3.95 and our 24 hour service is now £5.95.

At least you have your delayed post to thank for something..!

With so many towels on the market nowadays, it’s important to make sure you spend your money in the right place. Gone are the days when “one towel suits all” so to help you make the right choice, Milk and Honey has developed this handy Towel Buying Guide to assist you in your purchase.
“We shall base our definition of a good towel on its softness, absorbency, on its ability to dry quickly and finally on its longevity. What you should consider for your towel is first of all the feel – a towel should be plush, fluffy and feel soft to the touch…”
Happy towel hunting!
