Summer Ahoy!

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't quite kept my promise of a regular blog which will give in an insight to how an independent toy shop works. This could be taken as a good sign. After all the LEGO Seaside Competition was a huge success. Entries came in from right here in Rottingdean, as far as Cardiff and from all over East Sussex. One lucky girl won a trip to LEGOLand in Windsor, a local boy won some brilliant LEGO sets and I've been asked about the next one.  Watch this space.

I've also been working out how to introduce my Pick'n'Mix toy selection. If it works for sweets, surely it can work for other things too. Choose a bag and fill it with as much or little as you like - from Yo-Yos to Costume Items; Finger Puppets to Modelling Clay and produce the ultimate, tailor-made gift. The selection will expand over the summer holidays, and hopefully I'll be able to introduce this system onto the website so that those of you who can't visit this fantastic little shop can still benefit from it. On the website there are already suggestions of the kind of thing I'm getting at (http://cheekymonkeys.bigcartel.com/). 

While I'm on the subject of the website you can see a number of the entries from the LEGO competition on there, and don't forget that there's a cheeky 10% discount code hiding on there somewhere which WILL disappear this Friday, 8th July 2011. 

I will be updating this blog regularly, especially as the summer is fast approaching and there are so many good things happening to Cheeky Monkeys. I won't give too much away now but let's just say I've spent all morning trying to work out how many grey LEGO bricks I'll need for... well, you'll see. 

Follow us here, on Twitter (cheekymonkeysbn) or on Facebook, just search for Cheeky Monkeys Rottingdean for up to the minute progress. 

Speak to you soon,
