Treat someone on us! 🎁🥰

I’d like to nominate my daughter who is at the moment suffering severe back problems and is very down in the dumps as she is unable to take the love of her life, her little dog Hugo, out for a walk. She is also autistic so this has had a massive impact on her mental health as she feels guilty even though she has managed to find a dog walker to take Hugo out for her. One thing she has always been obsessed with is cleaning and washing products so this would be a nice treat for her to cheer her up.

I would love to gift my friend, Siofra. Her dad has gotten very sick very quickly, and it is a matter of days now. Even though its just laundry detergent, I know she loves it and I want her to know how much I care for her and am thinking about her.

wish to honour Katie and Pete — fearless renovators, unreasonable optimists, and dear friends — who made the brave (read: unhinged) decision to renovate both their kitchen and front room just three weeks before Christmas. A bold choice. A winter odyssey. A decision that has cast them, and their children Lonan and Ren, into a static caravan at Durdle Door like characters in a festive folktale set during the quiet apocalypse.

They now reside where the sea meets the stone, cooking on a camping hob, brushing their teeth beside the boiler, dreaming of floors that are not lino. I believe they are being tested — spiritually, emotionally, perhaps by the council.

A bottle of Tallow & Ash could offer what no extension lead or dust sheet can: a sense of ritual, of grounded luxury, of domestic peace amidst the chaos. Let it anoint them. Let it perfume the plywood.

They have earned it.

And Christmas is coming.

My best friend Anita, she’s a children’s epilepsy nurse and works so hard for her patients and is a real advocate for very complex children and their families. As well as this she has 3 children of her own and lives on a farm with her husband. They are busy on the farm and money is tight. Thry are struggling to buy Christmas presents. She works so hard and yet they struggle. She truly deserves a treat. Elen 🩷

I nominate my dear friends Connor and Kat — noble figures navigating the chaos of family life with Ru, Cass, and a third child currently preparing their descent from the cosmic womb. But this nomination comes not from sentiment alone — it comes from necessity.

The other day, in the thick steam of a Dorset sauna, Connor confessed a truth that chilled me more than the cold plunge ever could: he has never washed a pair of jeans. Not once. Denim worn like armour. Denim that may now be legally haunted.

For the sake of their growing household — and possibly national hygiene — I beg you: send this man the purifying powers of Tallow & Ash. Let it cleanse not just fabric, but legacy. Let the scent of redemption cling to his cuffs. Let this be the turning point.
