Designer Penny chose two of her favourite pieces in 2025 for Pollocks Toyshop since she’s designed every one of their new Paper Theatres. One was the rather eccentric 'Dancing Marquess' with illustrations from Lukas Palumbo, the other 'Tableaux', a collaboration with New York illustrator Tug Rice.

For his Twelve days, press minder Neil chose a zine by fellow Arsenal fan Dan Evans, entitled “Sometimes Maybe Good”. The round cut corners are a nod to the 90’s football trading cards that inspired it, the content celebrating some of the most bizarre managerial appointments in football history.
