November is here, and while we're definitely excited about cosy nights and the festive season around the corner, there's something else that's got us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside: gratitude.
It's National Gratitude Month! And you know how much we love a good reason to celebrate gratitude here at The Biskery! It's the perfect time to reflect on all the good things in our lives and show appreciation for the people and things that make us smile.
Gratitude is at the heart of everything we do, from the passion we pour into our biscuits to the wonderful connections we make with all of you.
Why November?
While being thankful is timeless, National Gratitude Month is a more recent tradition. It really took off in the late 20th century, thanks to inspiring people like Oprah Winfrey. And in 2015, the 30-Day Global Gratitude Challenge was launched, making November the official month of giving thanks.
How can you join the gratitude party with The Biskery?
We've got some lovely ideas to help you embrace the spirit of gratitude this month:
🙏🏽 Start a gratitude journal: Take a few minutes each day to write down the things that make you happy. It's a simple way to focus on the positives in your life.
🗨️ Tell someone how much you care: Reach out to your loved ones, friends, or even your colleagues and let them know how much you appreciate them. A heartfelt thank you can brighten anyone's day.
💓 Live in the moment: Take time to truly appreciate the little things. Enjoy a delicious meal, a beautiful sunset, or the sounds of nature.
🫂 Give back to your community: Volunteering your time is a wonderful way to show gratitude for what you have.
💪🏽 Take a 30-Day Gratitude Challenge: Challenges like these give you daily prompts and inspiration to help you cultivate gratitude.
😍 Celebrate Gratitudesday with The Biskery! This November, we're making our weekly

More reasons to give thanks!
November might be the main event, but there are other special days throughout the year dedicated to appreciation:
⭐ World Gratitude Day: Celebrated on September 21st, this day encourages everyone to express their appreciation for all the good in their lives.
⭐ Random Acts of Kindness Day: Celebrated in February, this day encourages people to spread joy and kindness through small, selfless acts.
⭐ Thank You Day: This day, usually celebrated in June, is a chance to express gratitude to those who make a difference in our lives.
Taking time to be thankful can have a wonderful impact on your wellbeing. Research shows that gratitude can lead to increased happiness, reduced stress, and stronger relationships. So this November, let's celebrate together and make it a month to remember!
