It's officially happening...

Memory Block Giveaways Start Now!

Hi <<First Name>>!

We're so excited to be partnering with Sid Dickens to give away three Memory Blocks every month! This is something Colin and I have been working on all winter and it's awesome to see it coming to fruition. We wanted to come up with a way to have fun, bring people together, and give back to those of you who have been so wonderful and supportive of us over the years.

Many thanks also to the truly amazing people at the Sid Dickens studio. They've been integral in making this happen and we couldn't do it without their generosity.

I've also included reminders for everything else that's going on with Memory Blocks right now. Lots of updates and I want to make sure you don't miss any of it.

As always, I've broken things into sections for easy skimming. All of the details are below. I hope everything makes sense, but of course, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. I always adore hearing from you!

Monthly Giveaways

The plan is to host three separate giveaways every month and the details are below! The one thing that we'll need from each winner, is to send us a photo of themselves with their new memory block so we can share it with the Sid Dickens studio. You can tell us whether you're comfortable with us/them posting it or not. We can't wait to see your happy faces and lovely tiles!

GOLDEN TICKET

Every month starting in June, we'll randomly choose one person who has ordered from us that month (in-store and online are both entered) to send a Golden Ticket to. Whoever receives it will be able to choose any current memory block to be signed by Sid and shipped directly to them. The turnaround will be about 1-2 months, but we promise the wait will be worth it!

NEWSLETTER / GOOGLE REVIEW

This will be an automatic giveaway, and you're already entered if you're reading this email! Each month, we'll randomly select a person who is either subscribed to our newsletter list or who left us a Google review that month, and send them a signed memory block of our or Sid's choosing.

FACEBOOK

Each month on our page, we'll run a giveaway post for a memory block that will have a couple of ways to enter. This tile will be pre-chosen by us and signed by Sid and will ship within a few days of the winner being selected. Our first giveaway will be happening next week, so keep an eye out!

Basic entry will be easy (follow both us and Sid Dickens on Facebook and tag a friend in the comments who you think might want to enter), and then we'll have a slightly more involved bonus entry. Bonus entry ideas include posting a picture of your tile/collection, or telling us a memory block story. We plan to switch the bonus entry up every month, but it'll always be something a little more social, interactive and fun. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, or turn on post notifications to make sure you don't miss it every month!

And just to reiterate, we'll need each winner to send us a photo of themselves with their new memory block so we can share it with the Sid Dickens studio.

Price Increase to $115

There will be a price increase on Memory Blocks starting June 1st. Unfortunately, they've seen a 26% rise in cost of materials since the pandemic started last year, and the new price of $115 is just a 12% increase.

The good news is that you still have a week and a half to think about ordering anything on your list, and to order any of the retiring memory blocks at the current price of $107.

We've also just started including a California Tile Hanger and a gift box with every memory block, and shipping will continue to be free.

Retiring on May 31st

Sid is retiring *35* Memory Blocks this spring. Yes, 35! I don't think we've ever said goodbye to this many tiles at once. Some of our favorites are on this list, and I'll very much miss seeing them on our wall in the shop.

I've included all of them below, and made a specific page on our website for what's retiring so it's easy to browse through them. If there are a few you've had your eye on, I'd make a point (if possible) to grab them before May 31st. We'll be ordering extras, but of course we'll have no idea when we might start running out.
