A fitting occasion that our first post for 2015 would be about love

It may appear that we're making a slow start to 2015 here at Queen B, but nothing could be further from the truth... our gracefulness belies the busy paddling under water! And there's nothing keeping us busier this week than sending Valentines Day orders. Some lament the rampant commercialism of Valentine's Day, I've always appreciated the reminder to tell the people who I love how grateful I am to have them in my life. No matter how mindful a life I try to live, I find that oftentimes my busyness gets in the way of wanton acts of love and gratitude. For the past 7 years I've used Valentine's Day as an occasion to show a special thanks for our volunteer packaging angels whose generosity has kept us afloat, retailers whose passion for supporting Queen B has gone above and beyond, our worker bees other assorted lovelies who have contributed to the cause. This afternoon we've been busy writing love letters to go to our various very special friends with a pack of Bee Lights. At $27.95 including shipping it's the perfect little gift that packs a loving punch without breaking the bank. It seems as if the word has also got out about our hampers (only took 10 years!) - so we've been tailoring beautiful hampers to various budgets. The most popular hamper this year has been a $100 Valentines hamper (including courier delivery in Sydney) packed full to the brim with our beeswax Tealights, Bee Lights, honey nougat, Sweetness & Light and, of course, Burning Love!! If you're wanting your gift to arrive before Valentines Day, please place orders prior to 9am tomorrow (thursday, 12th February). Please note that courier delivery is for Sydney only - for all other areas we use Australia Post and can't guarantee delivery prior to Valentines. Speaking of gratitude, we're trying to get a better profile of our customers...
