National Cousins Day 2022

Treat your cousin on the 24th July – National Cousins Day

Cousins are great, they’re like siblings that you don’t have to see all the time when you’re growing up. Some people are lucky enough to have a close relationship with the cousins, while others don’t get to see theirs so often. But even if you don’t get to see your cousins that much, it doesn’t mean that they are not in your thoughts.

For many people are cousins are our first friends, and at family events, because we are often similar in age to our cousins, we entertain each other and become good companions for one another. So, it’s plain to see why we can create great bonds with them.

It’s nice to show them how much you care sometimes, even if you haven’t been able to see them for a while, you can let them know you’re still there and still think of them. And we think that sending them a treat is a great way to show them you care.

We have a great range of treats to send to your cousins, we’re sure you’ll find one that will make them smile.

Cakes

We have a great range of cake that we’re sure your cousin will love, whether they have a taste for more traditional flavours, or are bit more adventurous with flavours, we have a cake that they will surely love. Here are just a few of the options available:
