If you hadn\u2019t already realised by the sheer number of cards and gifts you end up having to buy around this time, there\u2019s a whole load of birthdays between September and early October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September we brought out our BIG birthday energy to celebrate some of our brilliant customers\u2019 birthdays – live and in person! What better way to say \u2018happy birthday\u2019 than by making a big song and dance about someone? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team thortful headed over to a famous landmark in London \u2013 Potters Field Park by Tower Bridge,\u00a0 on Thursday 21st of September.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the wonderful people to celebrate, thortful customers were asked to nominate a friend or family member. From there, we randomly selected six surprise guests who joined us for a massive celebration of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arrival, the marching band appeared out of nowhere and instantly started playing birthday jingles while the birthday recipient had their face put on a big screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ribbon dancers followed closely behind bringing a real show with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day there were gorilla suits, free cards and the most surprising celebration of the year. We hope our celebrated guests had the most incredible birthday yet! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
