Every time we switch on the TV, open a
newspaper or turn on the radio, we are greeted with yet more devastating news.
By no means should any of this be ignored, but sometimes a little relief is
required…
Here at WSd we stock The Happy Newspaper
(£3.50) by the inspirational and positively upbeat Emily Coxhead. The Graphic
Design graduate has designed and illustrated the colourful 32-page newspaper that
celebrates life and hopes to ‘restore just a few people’s faith in humanity’.
The newspaper is broken down into monthly roundups, each one packed with all
the good stuff, retold by Emily through wonderful words and charming drawings.
The paper also has a unique ‘Everyday Heroes’ feature, which hails the people
you think deserve recognition for bringing some goodness to the world on a
day-to-day basis. Just go to Emily’s website to nominate your hero.
The Happy Newspaper certainly achieves
Emily’s main aim ‘to add a little bit of sunshine to a person's day...
If it makes a person smile in some way, shape or form then my job there is done’.
The Happy Newspaper has flown out of WSd so we can certify that there are
definitely lots of people out there who are smiling. The broadsheet of
positivity will be published quarterly throughout 2016. Issue two is currently
in stock at WSd and covers December, January and February. Along with the latest delivery of The Happy Newspaper, the truly amazing Emily sent extra copies under the proviso that we would donate them to a special local cause in the hope the paper would brighten the day of someone going through a tough time. We can confirm that these copies made their way to the Macmillan unit at the L&D hospital.
The much-loved Happy Jars are back in stock
at WSd and bringing moments of joy to many. The little jars contain tiny
handwritten notes of happiness, all of which serve as perfect daily reminders that
everything will be ok. If someone you know is feeling down or you need
uplifting, a Happy Jar is guaranteed to bring a smile (£6).
A pack of Happy Vinyl Stickers contains
four fun designs that are sure to brighten your day. Who doesn’t need a sticker
of a unicorn pug in their life?!
Handmade happy badges are wonderful morsels
of positive vibes.
There’s no end to Emily’s fabulous talents
and we just adore her hand illustrated greetings cards for every occasion (£3).
Join Emily’s campaign for happiness and spread a little joy.
