It's been a while. Don't mention Brexit & EU bureaucracy, but we can now officially say our books & journals are safe & we know the trees that created the paper in them. So we are able to ship to Europe again. Irish website is here with Euro payments & UK ships to Europe too. ie.fromyoutome.com

Hello ... our founder Neil is creating a Substack feed for us, so feel free to say hello on there if you are using it. substack.com/profile/1357...

Did you know that 2.9 million books were sold through the tills in the UK during the last week, bringing in a total of £28.4m. That's a lot of books. Which one did you receive for Christmas that you love?

Nothing to do with us but singer Sofia Eleni just launched a song that could be about us! Do you like it? 😊 youtu.be/FAUY_W2ftIE?...

Our Personalised Book of Christmas Giftable Tickets offers an ideal way to connect, bringing families and friends closer with a unique and interactive gift that goes beyond material items. Get inspiration from other customers ... www.fromyoutome.com/blog/forget-...

Collins Dictionary informs us that 2025’s “word of the year” is “vibe coding”, the amateur practice of using AI to write computer code. What's your favourite 'new word'? We have just had to explain to someone in the office what a 'meme' is, but stopped short of explaining 'Brexit'!

It's nearly Christmas 😊 🎅 so please put the Christmas Tree Festival in your diary, 9 to 14 December 2025 at Holy Trinity Church in Bradford on Avon. There will be many gorgeous trees to see & we have our own 'Memory Tree' on show for you to make & add your own memory decoration. Open 10:30 to 6pm.

And it must really be Christmas ... as here is the John Lewis advert. But if we had the budget, this should actually be the FROM YOU TO ME advert. "Our meaningful gifts all tell a story. If you can't find the words, find the gift." youtu.be/z1bRlnyQeDk?...

Halloween has past, the John Lewis advert has been released, so can we mention the 'C' word? Christmas is a great time for traditions & keeping family stories alive & here is our founder Neil's own story about his love of Christmas. We hope it brings a smile. www.fromyoutome.com/blog/keeping...

Our founder Neil seems keen on sponsoring the new @bathsupporters.bsky.social stadium ... So how do you feel about watching the finest rugby at the FROM YOU TO ME Stadium rather than The Rec?! 👍🏻

Would you want to spend time in this #Library? Truly amazing & interesting, but something quite drab too without the natural light. #Rijksmuseum

Another high profile Prostate Cancer candidate today in former US President Jo Biden. We wish him and his family well in managing this difficult news. This highlights how even well protected people like Jo Biden did not find this cancer early enough. Men over 40, get yourself tested.

We are proud to support @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social & this Father's Day we are campaigning & donating to their charity as well as working hard to get men talking. See the video of our founder Neil's talking about this and his own story here. fromyoutome.com/prostate_cancer

I am Neil Coxon, founder of FROM YOU TO ME, sharing some rather good news. We are so happy to share that we have been selected as the best small publisher in the south-west region and have been awarded 'Small Press of the Year’ in the British Book Awards, aka The Nibbies. Well done to our team!

"While AI churns out bland corporate soup, brands have an opportunity to show up differently. To be the voices of calm in the storm, of brutal honesty in the sea of bullshit, of genuine connection in our increasingly artificial world. It might just make us all feel a bit more human." #SonderandTell

We've been discussing our advertising strategy & this appeared today of an advert from natural fragrance maker #Ffern. How stunning. Makes you want to get outside & put down those devices. It's given us a lot of ideas. Thank you for sharing #SonderandTell youtu.be/bpe4WbXQTbg?...

Excited & ready to meet our local retailers at The Giving & Living trade show in Exeter starting tomorrow, Sunday 12th January, 2025. It's our first time of attending & will be here until Tuesday so please come & have a look at our new ranges of meaningful gifts. givingliving.co.uk

Many of the new rules of how we should actually certify that our products are still not clear. (They are safe, but they do not have the now required safety badges!) So because of the EU's GPSR regulations that are now in force, we can now not ship to the EU from the UK! 😥 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Happy New Year to our new BSky friends. May 2025 be your best year yet.

It's fascinating how the role of 'influencer' has become a career for many and sometimes very well paid. We all influence each other to some degree. Do we just become more influential the more well known we become or the more followers we have? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Be bold. Be confident. Be yourself. Believe in what you do. Love Bowie's quote ...
