‘Dilly Daydream was started by Alison Naylor in 2007 when she couldn’t find a pretty, good quality shower cap as a gift for her grandmother. Those that were available were tight fitting, mass produced, cheap plastic gimmicky imports. As a result, she ended up having a go at making her own, and with that Dilly Daydream was born.
The range has now expanded from shower caps, to shower turbans, drying turbans, sleep masks, sponge bags, hot water bottle covers, candles…….
We are delighted to be part of the Beat the Blues as every new product we create is designed to put a smile on your face and add a bit of glamour and luxury to your day. Who says practical has to be boring?’
‘I am leather crafter with a minimalist style with a twist. All my products are hand made, many are hand stitched and they all feature my minimalist style with a unique twist.
I hand-paint some of my work with freehand designs so each one is unique. I do my best to make sustainable choices and use every bit of my leather to minimise waste – and this has given rise to many of the products in my accessories collection.
My cat cable organisers are always a hit with customers!’
‘Wyatt & Jack are a UK based sustainable brand, creating bags and accessories from salvaged bouncy castles, deckchair canvas and inflatables, since 2010.
We know how post-Christmas can be a difficult time, and we want to help people by taking part in Beat the Blues.’

There is no better way to get out your stresses and frustrations than smashing a pinata filled with treats. So to bring a bit of sunshine to an otherwise dull January I have made a special pinata for the Beat the Blues campaign!
Touch Network will receive 100% of profits from the Beat the Blues pinata – or any pinata ordered in January – when you mention Beat the Blues in the comments at the checkout.’
