Mustard Loves: Going Potty With Page Markers…

While tearing up old sweet wrappers and slotting them into your notebook might be the best way to make good of a zealous Quality Street addiction, we can think of a healthier way to keep track of your most important ideas.

Our colourful page markers can be slotted into your notebook or planner to mark out special occasions, must-remember events and all your vital notes. Plus, they’re low-tac, meaning they can be stuck to any and every page without damaging the paper.

So whether you’re wowing in meetings, doodling in your free time, or planning that all-important presentation, check out our five page markers to go potty with.

Keep an eye on it

Featuring two eye and lip designs, Mustard’s Wink Page Markers are a stylish way to stay on the ball when you’re recalling ideas in a meeting. Simply stick the markers on your biggest, brightest and best ideas and relay them with ease in front of the office.

Rainbow markers

Although the days of using sweet wrappers may be behind you, there’s no need to settle for a boring alternative. Our Rainbow Page Markers may not taste as good (seriously don’t try eating them), but they more than match up to Quality Street in terms of colour.

Roar-some

To add a punchy pop-art vibe to your notebook, try our T-Rex Page Markers. Featuring a lime green and a cyan T-Rex design, these markers will make sure you never lose that page again. They also perfectly pair up with our T-Rex grid-dot Notebook, which comes in cyan and magenta.

Go bonkers

If you’re a little bit fruity (aren’t we all?), why not decorate your notes with our Banana Page Markers. Bright yellow and attention-grabbing, they’re the ideal way to create a workspace with more than a little appeel…

Stay succulent

If you want page markers just as sharp as your ideas, look no further than our Cactus Page Markers. Not only will these prickly pals help you stay on top of your notes but they’re the perfect way to nail (or prick) the cactus trend.

Mustard Loves: A Lunch Box That’s Fresher Than New Socks…

There’s no denying that lunch is the best part of the working day.

From Moroccan flatbreads and Greek salads to pasta pots and last night’s leftovers, as much as you might enjoy your job, there’s nothing that gets you through the morning quite like the promise of a 10/10 lunch.

Seeing as you’ve spent all that time and effort making sure your taste buds have something delicious to enjoy once one o’clock rolls around (though admittedly that home-made sushi was a lengthy mistake), it only makes sense to nestle your lunch in a bento box so cool it basically deserves its own star on the walk of fame.

Mustard’s T-Rex Lunch Box is a punchy lunch box that’s sure to turn heads in the office. Featuring a pop-art inspired T-Rex (who incidentally happens to be top of the dino food-chain), this bento box comes with dual compartments ideal for storing all your brain food.

Gone are the days of sticking passive aggressive (and aggressive aggressive) notes on your food to keep your colleagues at bay; this Tupperware has such a fearless design that all would-be food predators will be totally deterred. Your vegan shepherd’s pie can rest safe.

Microwave safe (excluding lid) and BPA free, our T-Rex Lunch Box is fresher than new socks (and that’s really saying something). Shop the look here and get free UK delivery.

Mustard Loves: Doisy & Dam(n) Good Chocolate…

While guilt free indulgence may be the dream, it doesn’t always seem like the most realistic one. Deliciously Ella can preach all she wants about healthy treats, but all we know is that when we have one too many trips to the biscuit tin our jeans start to feel that little bit tighter.

However, it turns out their might be a way to have our cake and eat it too (of sorts, anyway). Chocolate brand Doisy & Dam have come up with delightful chocolate concoctions that minimise all the bad stuff without scrimping on the good.

With enticing flavours such as Goji & Orange, Coconut & Lucuma (us neither…) and Crunchy Almond Butter, Doisy & Dam make sure that every single bar of chocolate they produce includes a superfood – something that makes them super tasty.

What’s really unique about Doisy & Dam is that their chocolate never has more than eight ingredients. If you’re wondering how they manage such a feat, it’s all down to the high cocoa content of their products. There simply isn’t room to go around adding all that unnecessary sugar and fat, which is lucky for our insides and lucky for our waistline!

Mustard’s favourite flavour at the moment is the Maple Toasted Rice & Pink Salt bar – unusual and amazing! If you want to find out more, check out their Instagram here.

Mustard Loves: A Novelty Cactus Light Cooler Than Cara Delevingne…

A symbol of serenity and escapism, in the last few years the cactus has transcended window sills and botanical gardens to make its mark on the fashion world. Adorning high-end handbags and hipster cafes alike, a quick scroll down Instagram proves that cacti are the sharpest trend around.

And what better way to nail a trend than with Mustard’s Cactus LED Light. Stylish and calming, our neon Light is the perfect tranquil accessory to brighten up your evenings. Simply insert the USB cord and let your room grow oh so succulent…

Ideal for film nights, BBQs and parties, our novelty Cactus Light will add a touch of Instagrammable charm to your home décor. Whether you want to kick back and relax or use the quirky Light to create some celebration vibes, this is one piece of decorative lighting that will add charm to whatever room it’s planted in.

While we can’t promise that our green Cactus Light will make it as sunny as the Arizona desert, it’s definitely one way to inspire those summer feels. Play the video on the right to see the Cactus glow in all its botanical glory and check it out on our Instagram here!

Mustard Loves: Rolling Out The Retro With Rio Roller…

Retro is trending in a big way. From 70s flares and Nintendo gaming to 90s slips and chunky trainers, the blasts from the past are certainly going strong. At Mustard we love a throwback (excluding the ones our parents’ do on Facebook), and skating brand Rio Roller are certainly ticking all the retro boxes.

Designed in the UK, distributed worldwide and using the tagline of “we been rolling since the 90’s”, Rio Roller are a skating brand with a fashion edge. With appealing collections such as their Milkshake range (something straight out of all your pastel dreams) you can now achieve the ultimate combination of skating and shaking at the same time.

However, their rollers aren’t just about style (although they do have a lot of it), with every skate putting comfort and performance at the forefront.

So, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned expert, grab your skates – and a few knee, elbow and potentially chin pads (safety first)- for some summer rolling.

Have a browse here and check out Rio Roller’s Instagram for more of their retro cool vibe.

Happy rolling!

Mustard Loves peeling the positivity with our banana cup…

Nothing encapsulates the feeling of summer quite like a fruity drink. From Capri Suns, smoothies and the now amended and less addictive Sunny D (tastes a lot worse but at least children aren’t turning orange anymore), the sunshine calls for refreshing and tangy beverages.

While you could sip your thirst quencher of choice from a run of the mill drinks bottle, we think that fruity drinks call for fruity cups – and our Banana Straw Cup is fruiter than most. Featuring a colourful banana print, this cute and vibrant cup is the perfect summer picnic pal.

What makes this cup really stand out is the straw feature. Not only does sipping from a straw make whatever drink you’re enjoying feel infinitely more fun, but it also makes a satisfying noise when you reach the end of your refreshment. Plus, this straw is reusable meaning that any moral panic over clogging up the world with disposable plastic straws can be soothed. You can sip away with your principles still in tact.

Easily taken on the go, our Banana Straw Cup is just the thing to get you out in the sunshine this summer.

Mustard Loves Desk Goals On Pinterest…

Ah, Pinterest. The place of motivational quotes, healthy (and not so healthy) recipes, “upcycling”, and – most importantly for us – desk goals.

If you’ve ever spent time searching for some good old desk inspiration on Pinterest then you’ll know that, much like eating Pringles, once you start you just can’t stop. What begins as an innocent search for desk goals (#deskgoals #deskenvy #deskinspiration) ends up with you blinking in surprise as you realise it’s 2am and yep it’s really time you got off your phone and went to sleep.

It’s not that your current workspace is particularly tatty, it’s just that Pinterest is so full of brilliant ideas it would practically be rude to not to check them out. We wouldn’t want to promote the notion of the “grass is always greener” as a rule, but when it comes to sprucing up your desk, a little bit of extra colour here and there, another cute and quirky Pen Pot from Mustard, or maybe a new (/alive) desk plant really isn’t going to hurt.

Our advice is to indulge your wondering eye and have a search for desk goals on Pinterest – you never know what interesting workspace ideas you might find. And, while you’re at it, you can also check out Mustard’s Pinterest page. If you’re a fan of stationery, lifestyle, and all things colourful then it’s definitely worth a follow!

Mustard Loves Living Life Colourfully with Kayti Peschke…

We’re always on the lookout for interesting brands, artists and photographers that speak the same language as us (i.e. people who possess an unhealthy obsession with colour). York-based photographer Kayti Peschke fits the bill perfectly with her lively, dynamic and quirky photos, and it’s safe to say we’ve been spending a good few hours getting lost in her Instagram feed.

Focusing on the holy trinity of fashion, lifestyle and food, Kayti’s feed is filled with bright colours, interesting compositions and a feel-good spin on everyday life. If you fancy seeing a horse look uncannily like a unicorn (dreams do come true) or a lamb covered in pom-poms then definitely have a scroll here.

Kayti is also editor of Caboodle Magazine – a bi-annual print filled with “all the wonderful things in life”. Alongside being named after one of the most fun words to pronounce ever (Caboooooodle), her publication promotes everything we love at Mustard: colour, humour and optimism (all with a pretty aesthetically pleasing twist of course!). Check out the print here.

Whether you’re hopping on a tube, hailing a bus, or walking into work, disposable coffee cups no longer have a place in our commuting caffeine fix. Largely unrecyclable and often turning pretty soggy pretty quick, it’s time to ditch your disposable coffee cup and bag yourself a reusable travel mug like Mustard’s retro Wink Double Wall Mug.

Featuring a chic eye and lip print, our colourful travel mug proves that being environmentally friendly and stylish needn’t be mutually exclusive.  Not only is the mug BPA free, but it’s also double walled to keep hot drinks hot and cool drinks cool, making it ideal for taking your beverage on the go.

So next time you’re ordering your almond-milk-flat-white-“extra-hot”, instead of opting for a wasteful one-use coffee cup, present our reusable Wink travel mug instead. Not only will you get a kick out of doing your bit for the environment, but you’ll also get to sip your caffeine out of an on-trend cup that looks great on your commute and sitting at your desk. A win-win!

Drink happy!

Back when you were a child customising your outfit meant taking to your wardrobe with a pair of kitchen scissors and snipping off a random trouser leg here and an odd sleeve there (much to your parents’ dismay). Now that you’re older and (potentially) wiser, there’s a much more stylish (and sustainable) way to inject some cool into your clothes.

Mustard’s retro Pin Badges are a quirky way to customise your clothes and accessories without leaving any permanent damage (i.e. without leading to a wardrobe filled with holey t-shirts). Simply attach the Pins to your jacket, rucksack, or even your pencil case and then unfasten them when you want to change your vibe.

We even have retro Pin Badges to suit any mood thanks to our different logos. If you’re feeling fruity, try our Banana Pin Badges, including a Banana Straw Cup Pin, a Peeled Banana Pin and a Bunch of Bananas Pin. If you fancy something quirky then go for our T-Rex Pin Badges, which feature a Bicycle Riding T-Rex, a Magenta T-Rex, and a Headphone Wearing T-Rex. And if you’re looking for classic pin-up perfection then our Wink Pin Badges are ideal thanks to the striking mixture of Eyes, Lips and Winking Pins.

If only we knew about retro pin badges before we took to our school uniform with a magic marker…

From the catwalk to the high street, dinosaurs are far from extinct when it comes to fashion. 

Retro, wacky and fun, our prehistoric pals are the trend to be touting at the moment, with the top dino pick of the fashion food chain being none other than Tyrannosaurus rex. Starring on Coach jumpers and adorning Paul Smith Shirts, they’ve even made it onto Topshop t-shirts. T-Rex – now just as much as 66 million years ago – remains alpha.

Thankfully, T-Rex needn’t just be a feature of your wardrobe. Mustard’s fun and cool T-Rex collection contains all the quirky stationery you need to bring him (or her) to work.

With a pop-art inspired range of accessories to choose from – including lunch boxes, water bottles, page markers, and highlighters – our retro T-Rex collection is sure to make your desk dino-mite. While it might be doubtful whether or not T-Rex can ride a bike a-la our Memo Block considering they can’t even high-five, the collection is a quirky stationery edit that’s perfect for gifting (our Magenta and Lime Highlighters are the ideal stocking fillers) and even better for keeping all to yourself.

While the market might trick you into thinking that all gadgets need to be some kind of square block in varying shades of black and grey, this isn’t strictly true. In a sea of boring tech, Mustard have come up with a rather novel way of shaking things up. In fact, you might say that we’ve gone totally bananas…

Kiss goodbye to your bog-standard audio splitter and wave farewell to your painfully dull USB hub: the time has come to peel the positivity with our colourful, Summer-inspired, fruity tech. Our Banana Audio Splitter and Banana USB Hub are the fun accessories you need to take your gadgets from zero to hero and are also the perfect gift ideas.

Whether you’er splitting your tunes with a friend or connecting all your essential gizmos at once, carrying around a kooky banana-shaped device is bound to make you feel kinda funky. And in a good way.

Let’s give tech some appeel. Let’s get fruity.
