Modo Creative

A fresh new year is always the best time to think about making changes. A bit less of this, bit more of that. And the green shoots peeping through the soil have inspired us to make the final few tweaks to our bid to become a plastic-free business. We've never been massive fans of plastic. Not so much, we confess, for 'holier than thou' reasons; more because we are so concerned with the aesthetics in our lives that we couldn't possibly ruin our home or business with plastic tat! So, yes, we arrive in today's plastic crisis with a better-than-average rating mainly...

A moment if we may.  It’s been brought to our attention that we don't talk enough about some of the good things our business does.  We are not big fans of doing good and then shouting about it, we don’t do it for that reason.  However recently you lot (our customers) have started to show more interest in the behind the scenes and a few of you have encouraged us to discuss it more. So here it is.... Firstly we try and make products that make folk feel good.  Either good about a choice in gift or good about the...

There's been so much in the press recently about equal (#not so equal) pay across all walks of life, the me too movement and the centenary of the first women in this country having the right to vote. And rightly so!  We're still too slowly making our way down the road to equality, but the raising of one group shouldn't mean the denigration of another.  And we're a broad church here at Modo, so it's men that are on our minds this week. And it is Father's Day on Sunday so, you know, it might be nice to pause a while to think of...

The weather is warming up (when it wants to!) and so naturally our thoughts are turning to the summer weddings racing up to greet us on our calendars. Perhaps you've got one or two, or seven coming up this year and are wondering what to buy the happy couple. You may know one or both of them and their tastes very well or you may not quite know what their thing is and so need that all-round, crowd-pleaser of a gift. It may even be your own special day fast approaching and you're looking for some last-minute inspiration. Ahem, not...
