Reynard City Gift Guide 2021

So why have we called it just “Reynard City Gift Guide 2021” as opposed to Christmas 2021? Well for the simple fact that creative talent, independent businesses and local suppliers can use your support throughout the year, not just at Christmas.

To give you an idea of how creative talent, independent businesses and local suppliers all form part of our project, here is a video of our process going from script to shop

With each purchase from our Ko-Fi shop, Teepublic and more you are helping to support the artists who make this comic happen

Sale prices continue! If you're looking for merchandise with OzFoxes art — like this colorful phone case — check out our TeePublic store.https://t.co/GmPvgR7cNl

When it comes to gift ideas, there are a number of ways to approach this. For example, you can order blockbuster novels through Bookbugs And Dragontales or send someone a chocolate card through Saffire.

While we managed to fit in a number of options in our video, we didn’t manage to fit everyone in, so we’ve added a few tweets from some fantastic people as well so feel free to explore what they have to offer!

I love these Saffire truffles- lots of different flavours and they look like cool crystals. Also how cute are these chocolate snowfolk?

One Life Left will be running a gaming convention at the Royal Norfolk Showground, you can find out how to win tickets here

In addition to that, for folks based in Norwich One Life Left is a fun place where you can hire out a screen covering everything from the Master System to the Switch (they’re also offering vouchers) . Even if you’re not based in Norwich, their videos and livestreams are a lot of fun!

Looking for a #Christmas gift for that special someone? Take a look at my @etsy store. There's so much cool stuff to make someone's day. https://t.co/7JdwK8awhT

I grew up with X-Men and was delighted to hear the followup X-Men ’97 is coming to Disney Plus. That being said, if you want to directly support the showrunner/head writer Julia and Eric Lewald then buying their books helps them. And given they have been fantastic in supporting us I think it’s important we do what we can to give the love back.

With this part of the gift guide we get a combination of things we love- Norwich Art Shop provides affordable art from local artists as well as cards and prints, ideal for a creative person in your life.

No better time for our ‘art from recycled materials’ queen @JessssG093 (Jessica Mae Gower) to be Monday’s duty artist at 75 Upper St Giles where we’re open from 11-5.

Remember- there are lots of awesome artists out there that can do commissions, custom plushies and so much more. If you know someone who is a creative and you can support them via Ko-Fi, Patreon etc, donating to them makes a big difference to their projects so please support them if you can!
