It's a long time since we've updated our news, but we've just been so busy! Bag Hook Boutique is as popular as ever and we love the fact that the word is spreading. It's the perfectly priced gift for these days of recession, which won't break the bank, but looks a lot more expensive than it is :-) It also makes a great bridesmaid gift and if you have 3 bridesmaids, all the better as you can get 3 for £40! Enjoy the summer and, most of all, enjoy keeping your handbag safe and clean!

Not long til Santa arrives! We have been really busy with our adverts in Elle and Red magazines really catching the eye of discerning ladies across the country... and a few gentlemen too. Don't be shy boys - these bag hooks make the perfect gift. One chap recently offered me £30 for mine in a restaurant! And he said he was trying his luck and thought it was worth much more! We love these perfect bag hook moments.
At the moment we are really loving WAH Nails and WAH magazine. Check them out at www.wah-magazine.com. We especially love them because they have our bag hooks on every table in their salon, so customers don't have to put their handbags on the floor. Tell your manicurist - this is the way forward!!! They are really into the gold ones!
So, I'm off to New York in a couple of weeks, but don't worry, Jennifer is staying behind to pack up and post your bag hooks out. We're looking forward to showing off our bag hooks in the Big Apple. Last time we were there we sold a couple too. Those New Yorkers love our little hooks!!
That's all the news for now, keep in touch with us and we'll keep in touch with you!
Lots of love

If you are anything like us, we are sure you are already thinking about Christmas. I know, I know, it's not even November yet, but we can't help it! We love sparkly and, let's face it, Christmas is the most sparkly time of year! Don't forget bag hooks make the perfect present for that difficult to buy for friend. We're already getting the orders in!
You might notice our little ads in Red magazine and Elle magazine classifieds. We're hoping that lots of people will see our bag hooks and start a major trend - just think, you'll be able to say you had one first!
Now for some sad news. The postal strikes in the UK make things extra tricky for small businesses like Bag Hook Boutique. We will try to overcome that as best we can. During the postal strike we will do
everything we can to ensure your parcel arrives with you as soon as
possible. Depending where you are based and how many hooks you
require, we may use different methods to get your parcel to you. In
most cases we will use Royal Mail recorded delivery. Please let us
know if you are experiencing particular problems with your post and we
will use alternative method of delivery. Thank you for your patience
during this difficult time.
On a positive note, we're off to New York in December - can't wait to show off the bag hooks there, the American's do love us Brits and our fabulous style - they will be so impressed!
Have a cosy winter, keep wrapped up and keep that bag hook handy.
Lotsa love,

Hello Bag Hookers!
We've had a great summer so far, London, LA, Colorado, Ibiza, and Paris. Happy days! The bag hooks are being perfectly received all over the world! The look so pretty sparkling in the sunshine - even boys ask where we get them! I think they secretly want one for themselves :-)
Exciting news - due to lots of you asking (see, we do listen), we are bringing back the limited edition GOLD bag hook! Okay, it's not real gold, but it's gold colour with the same sparkly crystals. Check them out in our on line shop!
Those of you who are loyal customers will see we have kept our bag hooks the same price since we launched in 2007 - we know there's a credit crunch and we've been hit with the poor £ like everyone else, but it's important to us to keep our product fairly priced for you. We think £15 is a reasonable price for a unique gift and hope you agree. We are always open to your comments and feedback, so please use our contact form.
Don't forget to check out the offer - 3 hooks for £40, bargin! Must be a pink, crystal and a green in the same order.
Happy holidays!

Spring is finally here! We're really enjoying the long, sunny evenings, riding round the city on a Pashley bike delivering bag hooks... happy days!
It's been so busy, Valentines Day, Mother's Day and now Easter and everyone wants a bag hook! It seems we can't sit in a bar or restaurant without someone asking where we got our sparkly little bag hooks from! They really do make the perfect present!
Have a wonderful Spring and thank you for your lovely comments and feedback.
Best wishes,

Happy New Year!! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and everyone loved their presents - especially those that received bag hooks!
Now, it's not long until Valentines Day and it's time to start dropping those hints! Also, if you have a brother, dad, work colleague who you think needs a push in the right direction - send him our way! We think pink hooks are the perfect gift this Valentines day!
Wishing you all the best.

Happy Holidays to all our customers from all over the world! It's been a busy year for Bag Hook Boutique and we have you to thank for that!
Check out our offer - if you buy a hook in each colour we will give you a discount - that's 3 for £40 plus p+p. Also, due to popular demand, we have started to stock the bags that we use to display our hooks - a bargin at £15!
We now have a Facebook page (we are sooo with the times!). Check us out at "Bag Hook Addicts - What Every Goddess Needs" or follow the link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25927013287
This month, check out the new FY magazine for a feature on our bag hooks. On line link www.fy-magazine.co.uk.
When visiting LA in September, we met an inspirational lady called Helen Arabanos, who is one of LA's top Feng Shui gurus. She explained how placing your bag on the floor is not good Feng Shui and immediately began to recommend our bag hooks to her clients. This is great news for you too, as Helen is offering a bespoke package for UK customers. For £50 Helen will arrange a Feng Shui telephone consultation. You can electronically send her photos of your home and she will recommend the changes you can make. Could this be the most unique present this Christmas - a consultation with an LA Feng Shui expert?!! Check out her GORGEOUS website at:
www.fullbloomfengshui.com
or email her at helen@fullbloomfengshui.com
All that remains is to wish you all the best for the holiday season and we hope your friends and family love their Bag Hook Boutique gifts.
Love and peace

Everywhere we go, people are asking us where we got our sparkly little numbers! There have been lots of admiration for our green hooks this summer, maybe it's the in colour? Good news, we've now put in an order for some gold coloured hooks that so many of you have asked for. We've only ordered a limited edition of 50 so you'll need to be quick! We've got lots of ideas at the moment to expand our range, so watch this space.
In the meantime I'm off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas in August for a well earned rest! Will be flashing my bag hook all over town, so don't be surprised if you see all the celebs carrying them very soon!! In the meantime, business will still be running, so don't worry, orders will always be sent out within 24 working hours.
All the best and enjoy the sunshine!

We can't believe it's June already - where has the year gone? I've just got back from Sunny Sweden and had a lovely time. There are some gorgeous little boutiques and I couldn't resist a couple of summer purchases! There were no bag hooks in sight, so mine went down a treat - I packed a pink one and it looked so gorgeous sparkling away in the sunshine!
I don't know about you, but all my friends seem to have birthdays in July! I must have about five coming up. Of course Bag Hook Boutique can provide the perfect present - we will happily post your bag hook gift directly to the recipient and will enclose a personal message if required. Just drop us a note on our contact page when you order and we'll do the rest.

Things at Bag Hook Boutique have been non-stop this year! First we had Valentines Day, then Mothering Sunday -- we've been swamped! We've noticed a few other little bag hook businesses popping up on the web - good luck to you guys, we're open to a little healthy competition!
Just to keep you up to date, our hooks are high quality and are really very pretty. We're keeping the cost as low as we can, but we make sure they are beautifully packaged and with next day delivery you can't beat Bag Hook Boutique! Happy shopping!

Hope you all loved the bag hooks you got for Christmas! If you're a new customer, you should note that we're out of the country for a little break, but don't worry, we'll be back in time to post your order on 8th January 2008. Have fun!
Happy new year,

Wow! You're loving the bag hooks! We are thrilled that so many of you are contacting us for multiple orders for Christmas already.
We have been out and about around town and it's great how many people are coming up to us and asking where we got our hooks. We even sold one in Lille a couple of weeks ago! And it's great to get so many orders coming in from Ireland... someone must be promoting us over the Irish Sea!
However, watching morning television last week, Jennifer was horrified to see that Her Majesty the Queen carries a MEAT HOOK in her hand bag. Mortification! She uses this to hang her bag on the table when she is giving speeches. She obviously hasn't heard of Bag Hook Boutique. What could we do, but send her a complimentary bag hook? So if you see her using it, do drop us a line!
We're off to Miami for Christmas, so we'll be showing off our bag hooks in the capital of bling. But don't worry, we're not going until Christmas Eve, so there's plenty of time to get those orders in. Don't forget your mother, sister, friends, aunties, colleagues and even your hairdresser would all love one! Get in touch if you want a multiple order and we'll see what we can do to discount postage.
Best wishes and have a fabulous winter!

You could be one of the first customers to purchase a specially designed bag hook.
We spotted these handy little gadgets whilst on holiday in the USA in May 2007. Big thanks to Jim for taking us to Del Ray, where we discovered the new "it" item! We knew our friends in London would love them. Only recently I was out in a bar in Holborn and saw a girl get her bag stolen... if only she'd had one of these bag hooks, she might have saved it!
When we got home, we knew we'd hit on something big when our friends went crazy for them. That's when we decided we would set up our little business - Bag Hook Boutique. Of course, there are a couple of other bag hook sites, but we think ours are much prettier and we aim to keep the costs to a minimum, so they are the perfect gift to suit any purse size! Plus we post them from the UK, so you won't have to wait too long for your perfectly wrapped parcel to arrive.
We're hoping to stock some of our designs in boutiques and gift shops so we'll keep you informed. Until then, if we see you out and about with one of our hooks, we might even buy you a cocktail!
Love
Katharine & Jennifer
