The Art of Gifting

15 July 2025

Welcome to our world of brilliantly bonkers gifting.

Let’s be real for a sec, gift shopping can be a total head-scratcher at the best of times. We believe that gifts are more than just ticking a box. You should get as much pleasure from giving as receiving. We want to make people smile, laugh, and actually take pride in using the gift you bought them. That’s the kind of gifting we’re into, and it’s why we’ve launched this blog.

From here on in, this gift blog is where we’ll share the stories behind our wonderful gifts, give you a peek behind the kimono, and help you discover the perfect, unique gift for that impossible-to-buy-for friend, colleague, or family member.

To kick things off, we’ve written you a poem. Not just any old poem, it’s a cheeky nod to Kipling’s classic, with our Suck UK twist. Grab a cuppa and a custard cream, scroll down, and enjoy the read or simply watch our ‘Monkey Boy’ video. The real question is, how many of our gifts can you spot in the video?

Welcome to our world of brilliantly bonkers gifting.

If you can skip the usual junk,
And don’t get tempted by all that funk,
If you’d rather gift with a bit of panache,
Than fall back on your standard stash.

If you gift socks that sparkle and flash,
And mugs that won’t fill up your trash,
If you pick the weird, boldand bright,
Instead of playing it safe or polite.

If you can buy Mum a gift that makes her smile,
With something unique, fun, and worthwhile,
If Dad unwraps and says, “What’s this?”,
Then laughs and grunts, that’s gifting bliss

If you think gifts should make you feel alive,
Like a Sudoku board that makes your neurons thrive,
Or a Cat Scratch Turntable,

That’ll make your felines beat-able.

If your idea of ‘giving’ includes fun,
Like a Smiley Umbrella as bright as the sun,
Or the Cordless Heart Bulb, that glows with some skill,
It makes your heart... well, we couldn’t rhyme with Netflix and chill.

If you don’t just scroll and panic buy,
But stop, think, and raise one eye,
Visit Suck UK, for it’s weird, bold and beautiful,
Packed with gift ideas both wild and dutiful.

And if you’ve done all this, start to end,
You’ll be a true gifter, my friend.


We hope you enjoyed the poem. We’ve got a few more nuggets lined up that we think you’ll enjoy, so do keep an eye on the blog for more stories, design reveals, and delightfully quirky gift ideas.
