Changes coming to 2025

Hi Friends,

Threads & Thistles Inventory is evolving, and we’re so excited to share what’s next! Starting in 2025, we’re remodeling our store to focus on curated boxes featuring a mix of my own exclusive designs and handpicked products from other talented creators and small businesses. This is a fantastic opportunity to not only support Threads & Thistles Inventory but to also discover incredible new creators who share the same passion for quality and creativity ✨
 

What’s Changing?
  • Smaller Quantities of My Products: With this remodel, I’ll be sharing the spotlight with other creators, so there will be fewer of my own designs available. Each box will be carefully curated by me to reflect the values and creativity you love about TTI.
  • A New Shopping Experience: Instead of just individual products, you’ll find thoughtfully themed boxes that combine unique items from small businesses and my exclusive designs.
 
Why You’ll Love What’s Next:
  • Support Small Businesses & Creators: Every box will include items from small businesses, helping you connect with amazing new creators.
  • Exclusive Designs: TTI-exclusive products will still be part of the collection but in smaller quantities.
  • A Personal Touch: Each box will be curated with care to ensure every item feels special and intentional.
 
What to Do Before 2024 Ends:
 
Shop Black Friday, this is your last chance to order our current designs!
  • All existing products will be retired as we transition into this new phase.
  • Be sure to place your orders before December 31, 2024, to grab your favorites before they’re gone.
 
I’m so grateful for your support throughout the years and can’t wait to share this next chapter with you. Threads & Thistles Inventory will remain your destination for thoughtful, inspiring products for those in and our of the gaming space—now with even more opportunities to support small businesses and discover new creators.
Thank you for being part of this journey! Stay tuned for updates as we prepare for 2025.
 
See you soon!
