The Funky Pigeon
The amazing world that is Twitter has allowed me to meet some amazing individuals. I was “tweeted” by a company called The Funky Pigeon last week. What, may you ask, is The Funky Pigeon? Well, it’s a very clever new site which specialises in personalising just about everything under the sun. They have cards, calendars, posters, flowers and gift packages which can be sent direct to you to give to someone or sent directly to the recipient. As Christmas is just around the corner, I was asked by Nina at The Funky Pigeon if I wouldn’t mind testing out their ordering system to receive a personalised Letter from Santa and a matching Door Hanger. Sure! A keepsake pressie for my daughter? No problems!
- STRENGTHS: The ordering process is very straightforward on The Funky Pigeon. You simply register an account with basic details, order your items and pay through any number of payment methods (PayPal, Google Checkout, Major Credit Cards). The site is easy to navigate and entertaining to browse. I was able to personalise Little Miss’ Letter from Santa by including her name, something she’s accomplished this year and what present she’s hoping for. I could also specify if I wanted the letter addressed to Little Miss and whether it shouldn’t be opened before Christmas. I was also able to select a matching door hanger with Little Miss’ name on it. Despite difficulties with Royal Mail, I ordered the Letter and Door Hanger on a Thursday (before 2pm) and received it on Friday! Now, that’s service!
- WEAKNESSES: The only real complaint that I had was that the boldness of the print on Little Miss’ letter was a bit light. The font was more of a “handwriting” style which is very appropriate as it’s written by Santa and all, but it could stand to be just a bit darker.
- OPINION: The Funky Pigeon has really found a great niche, particularly before the holidays. The prices are reasonable, the quality of the products is high and the creativity is fantastic. Although Little Miss is only 17 months and can’t read or really appreciate who Santa is yet, we will keep this letter for her and share it each year. It will be a real keepsake for her. I particularly appreciated the speed with which we received Little Miss’ letter and door hanger which is very encouraging as the weeks wind down before Christmas.
- TECHNICAL STUFF: The personalised Santa letter was £4.99 + .47 postage; the personalise Door Hanger was £2.99 + .47 postage.
- RATING: 5 out of 5
