Can you hear that? That faint jingle in the distance? That’s the sound of the -ber months doing what they do best: arriving quietly, then suddenly it’s December and everyone is asking where the year went.

In Nigeria, you know Christmas is coming before the calendar tells you. The traffic gets a little more ambitious. The markets get a little louder. Somebody’s aunty has started “planning the menu” (translation: the jollof rehearsals have begun). And every brand you follow is about to start posting red and green everything.

So before the festive madness fully kicks in, we wanted to pop in, say hello again, and show you a little of what we’ve been working on.

A little peek inside the studio

Here are a few things that have kept our hands busy and our coffee cups empty.

Celebrations homepage on desktop and mobile
An online gift store built for gifting season, with build-your-own bundles and scheduled delivery. See the Celebrations project.
The Wrapsheet email by Celebrations on desktop and mobile
A newsletter people actually want to open, complete with a Christmas countdown. See The Wrapsheet.

Packaging that makes the unboxing feel like an event. See the Yikodeen project.
Yikodeen 10th anniversary T-shirt and tote bag
Branded merch: the kind of gift your team and clients will actually use. More from Yikodeen.
Scafhaus worker in branded orange hard hat and safety vest
A full brand identity, from the logo to the hard hat. See the Scafhaus project.
Ximi Vogue website on laptop and phone
A bright, easy-to-shop website that works just as well on a phone. See the Ximi Vogue project.

There’s more where that came from on our projects page.

Christmas is around the corner. Is your brand ready?

Here’s a little secret from inside the studio: the brands that shine in December are the ones that started planning in October. Everyone else is busy sending “urgent!!!” messages on the 18th of December asking for a full campaign by tomorrow. (We love you, but please, don’t be that person this year. 😅)

If you want your business to show up properly this festive season, here’s a quick checklist to run through over your next cup of tea:

  • Festive social media: posts and short videos that feel like your brand, not just another stock Santa.
  • Gifting and packaging: boxes, tags, cards and wrapping that make people smile before they even open the gift.
  • Branded merch and corporate gifts: caps, tees, mugs and notebooks to thank your team and your clients for a great year.
  • Email newsletters: a countdown, a gift guide or a simple thank-you that lands in inboxes at the right time.
  • A website ready for the rush: fast, easy to shop on a phone, and clear about how to order or get in touch.
  • Your end-of-year message: a warm, well-timed post that thanks your customers and sets the tone for the new year.

If any of those made you go “hmm, we haven’t sorted that yet”, that’s exactly where we come in.
