Why Christmas Costume Cards? Just Bec-cause!

December 2011, by Bec | 3 Comments – latest by Business Cards

It seems like only yesterday I was stuffing my face with Easter eggs, yet we’re already preparing for Christmas! (In fairness, I WAS stuffing my face with Easter eggs. They had turned a little white, but when a man on the corner is selling chocolate from a supermarket trolley at a ridiculous discount, you buy it!)

The rest of my family is back in Australia, so what’s the best way to remind them that I miss them and that I’m not jealous of the amazing, sunny, delicious BBQ they’ll be having? Christmas Cards!

I’ve always liked things that have more than one use. I’m also a big fan of fancy dress. So naturally, when I was coming …Continue reading this article…

Cakegate 2011 – a tale of baking heartache

December 2011, by Martin | 4 Comments – latest by Michele

Those of you who follow the MOO Blog will remember reading about the MOO Lunch Club, where a few of us take a weekly opportunity to cook for each other. Well, it seems news of this culinary collective escaped from the blog, and down to the sleepy hollows of southern Hampshire – to my mother.

Consequently, I was officially tasked with making the 2011 family Christmas Cake. So, prepare for a tale of baking trial, tribulation, heartbreak and eventual glorious victory that’d make Peter Jackson envious.

Job 1: Find a recipe.

The internet is the friend I turn to in times of need, and its faithful answer was Delia Smith (think of her as the UK Martha Stewart). Oh, the …Continue reading this article…

MOO Christmas countdown

December 2011, by Charlotte | 10 Comments – latest by susan

We know that all you freelancers and startups don’t slow down in the lead up to Christmas, so we’ve taken it upon ourselves to make sure you’re entertained during the countdown to the big day.

Below is an advent calendar we’ve compiled of interesting and/or useful things (well, we think so!) discovered on our internet wanderings. Every day we’ll reveal a new link, some designed to help you with your work (the secret to a great logo), give discounts off MOO products (Yay!), provide food for thought (history of the Business Card, anyone?) and sometimes distract you (that would be where the edible Christmas tree decorations come in). On top of that there’s also the occasional word from a member …Continue reading this article…

Movember at MOO

December 2011, by Rob | 4 Comments – latest by sallya

Over the past month some of the guys at MOO HQ in the UK and US have been raising money and awareness for prostate cancer charity Movember. Our itchy faces are now hair free and we are very excited to say that we raised over £500 and $170 towards the charity! It’s a shame to see some of the moustaches vanish, as they were really starting to grow on us here. Until next Movember!
