I absolutely love early weekend mornings in London. Although this morning I was pretty much sleeping on my bike 😪 It was another early morning to hide the 2 final passcodes of the Ganddee treasure hunt. Each code you find can be redeemed against a The Charity Shop Gift Card of £20!! Yesterday's codes were found in 2 and 4 hours respectively! 🤯 Turns out Ganddizens are serious treasure hunters!! Today, I'm a bit playful. So, I tried to spice things up a little bit with the location of the codes ;) Let's see how long it takes for the passcodes to be found!!

Only 17 hours left! ⏰ The first 2 secret locations of the Ganddee treasurehunt will be revealed at 9am (sharp) tomorrow morning. If you're in London, this is your chance to snap a charity shop gift card. Just think about it: your next thrifting haul could be on us! 🥹 Time to stretch and get warmed up for the search!

Shop owners are heroes. They don’t wear capes. And the work they put in their business often goes unnoticed. But trust me, running a business isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. So, when I have a meeting close to a shop listed on Ganddee, I love to take a small detour to go say “hi” and chat with the staff. On my way to North London I stopped by Give Me Love charity shop in Camden to say “Hi” to Jennie. Then, we quickly snapped this video to announce that they’re joining our network of partners. The best part? You get to hear it from Jennie herself! 🤩 So, from tomorrow, Ganddee users will get 15% off all items in the back room of Give Me Love by using the exclusive discount in the app. How cool is that?! Thanks Jennie and team for trusting us! And, of course, feel free to also stop by their neighbour (Shop from Crisis) who’s also one of our partner!

If you're in central London this week, be very careful. You could walk past the £120-worth of The Charity Shop Gift Card we're hiding in the city. How frustrating would it be to walk away from a free thrifting haul? Don't be that person. Join the search.

TOP SECRET (hint: check the first comment 🔗)

Did we just invent the most sustainable merch?? (No "carbon offset" shenanigans - I promise.) If you're like me, you have: - 10s of tote bags in a drawer at home - A cupboard full of reusable cups - Plenty of "startup t-shirts" (i.e. my pyjamas) When I go to a conference or a startup event - the chances are high that I'm walking back with some company's 'merch'. It doesn't feel like much in isolation. But, it accumulates. Fast. Even if the t-shirts are 100% organic cotton, and the cups are reusable - there's literally no point to collect them. One of each does the job. So, when it came to launch our own merch for Ganddee we didn't want to follow the route of **NEW** items (even if organic, "eco-friendly" etc). Instead, we decided that all our merch would be 2nd-hand. And this makes sense! Ganddee connects shoppers to 2nd-hand shops & pop-ups - so it makes a ton of sense for our merch to be sourced from our listed shops! Plus, the most sustainable items are the things that already exist! Ganddee's merch are clothes & totes that we're thrifting. We then apply a "Ganddee" label / patch on them. (we can also give these separately) This approach is our way to put our money where our mouth is. We're building the marketplace for the circular economy. So, if we're not trying our best to be circular ourselves - what are we doing?? Plus, every piece comes with a story!

⏰ Final chance to help us get on TV! 📺 With Ganddee, we have the chance to win a TV Ad campaign on Sky! Needless to say: that would be HUGE for us. That will allow us to tell thousands of people about Ganddee's mission to democratise second-hand purchases. More than 100 of you have already helped us by voting for Ganddee on Sky's website. But, the voting period ends in 24h ⏰ So, if you haven't already, this is your last chance to be part of Ganddee's TV success! Voting for us takes 5 seconds (and it doesn't require to create an account)! All you need to do is click on the link below & drop a ballot for us 💙 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqEcPr4g Thanks in advance to everyone supporting us and much love to the 100+ people who've already voted Ganddee! Hope to see you soon - on your sofa 🛋️📺😉 PS: My shoulders are tired of carrying our banner all around London - help me go digital 😭🤣 AdSmart from Sky #AdSmartfromSky #LocalHeroes #SkyZero

Super stocked to join forces with Shelter for their Taproom Thrift event this weekend in Crystal Palace! If you're in the area - definitely pop in to find a bargain and grab a beer! Plus, if you have the Ganddee app - you get in for free!

Met with a Ganddee user who navigated through the app (much) faster than me 🤯 Felt like she knew the app better than I did 😅 I guess that's a good sign? 🙃

⏰ Only 8 days to go until our next Ganddizen Get Together! This month, we'll pay the a drink to the first 10 people who arrive at the pub 😋🍻 Don't forget to book your spot (free) via the Eventbrite link of the event! See you there!
