Love it or Hate it? Marmite!

Every year I start buying early to spread the expense, get over excited and have all my gifts bought by the end of November. Every single year, without fail, I have a slight moment a few days before the big event where I both panic I haven't bought enough while simultaneously becoming envious of everyone else out doing their shopping. As such, I ALWAYS end up buying double the amount of gifts for everyone than I can realistically afford. Sigh. Maybe one year I'll learn, however, 2015 is not that year! :-)

Today I made the predictable, last minute dash to Westfield Shepherd's Bush to grab a few extra Christmas gifts, whereupon I stumbled across a fantastic pop up store! Personalised marmite jars, with any text of your choosing. My little one assured me his Daddy is a big marmite fan, so in we popped to get him his own snazzy jar!



As you walk in to the store, the wall is painted with clear and pretty instructions on how the process works! Grab a form and fill it in with your choice of wording, then decide whether your recipient has been naughty or nice (alternatively, you can stick with the classic design). Take it to the till, part with four hundred and ninety nine of your finest British pennies and voila, a lovely person dressed in a marmite inspired elf costume will prepare your very own jar!



This definitely makes a fantastically unique and fun gift for a really reasonable price and the store has lots of quirky photo opportunities!





The Marmite Pop Up can be found on the first floor of Westfield, near to Hotel Chocolat. It's only open until Christmas Eve so hurry along if you want to gift one of these in time for Christmas, it's perfect for the marmite lover in your life!

Who would you personalise a jar for?
