The morale boosting message of this 2nd World War slogan continues to have much relevance today.

In fact, with the banking crisis / student loans / terrorists / the weather…etc, “Keep Calm And Carry On” is a mantra most of us need to hear on a daily basis.

It typifies Englishness, that stiff upper lip. It harks back to when this country had values that meant something. I have just turned into my Dad – this is horrifying, I will stop this now.

But, Keep Calm And Carry On reminds us that we do have a country to be proud of. It also reminds us to keep a level head when all goes a little mad around us.

The range is complete. Truly the one stop shop for that tricky person to buy for, something for everyone.

The latest release are the fab KCCO door mats. The mats are eco friendly being made from coconut husks and have a non slip rubber base. At £20, an easy gift solution.

As traditional as the slogan itself, this KCCO cushion has been created the old fashioned way! The letters, crown and Union Jack flag have been individually stitched on using a traditional appliqué technique. Filled with a duck feather inner pad, this is perfect for cuddling when all seems lost! £35 – available in red or Union Jack.

I did mention the range was extensive, there is a gift idea here for everyone - Cuff links, biscuits chocolate bars, posters, tote bags, coasters and table mats, aprons and mugs.

For me, though, the Keep Calm And Carry On slogan works best on clothing. Many celebs have been spotted with their KCCO t shirts or hoodies, including Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in Harry Potter), James May and, um, Jordan. Two out of three aint bad…

Seriously though, ditch the thought of those socks or jumpers. Giving something from Keep Calm And Carry On will guarantee total satisfaction. The t shirts are £20.

If you still need convincing, check out the super cool Retro Flight Bag. Very nice….....
