New! Coronation Street birthday cards

Coronation Street fan Gregs_Art has created these wonderful Corrie birthday cards which you can buy here.

It's down to creative Corrie fans like Greg and Pickled Jo, and if I may even blow my own trumpet, me - who make artwork and write books to share with Corrie fans. 

With the exception of the current Coronation Street saga books (Mother's Day, Christmas and one to be published), the only other official merchandise available for fans to buy is a few branded Corrie Tour items on sale at the tour itself. There's nothing else. Zilch. Nada. Nowt.

The official Corrie merchandise account run by a company called Tomato Source at https://twitter.com/corrie_merch hasn't been updated in almost a year which perhaps means that their merchandising license expired. Does anyone know for sure?

Come on, ITV, give fans some of the things they want. 

You could start by giving fans a chance - fans like Gregs_Art and @PickledJo and all the fans out there creating wonderful stuff already.

Coronation Street Christmas Coasters

Jo Gough is a wonderful new artist on the scene and she has recently completed a Manchester range which includes the Coronation Street sign and Rovers Return images on coasters.

(We also featured Jo's wonderful Coronation Street cushions a few weeks ago)

Jo is asking fans via us here on the Coronation Street Blog what they think of  the coasters before she places a big order in time for Christmas.

If you'd be interested in placing a Christmas order please can you comment on this blog post and note what you'd be interested in buying - and which coaster you prefer - the Rovers Return one or the Coronation Street sign one?

Any feedback would be gratefully received to help Jo gauge the number of coasters to order in time for the festive season.

Once the coasters are in stock I will share the link to them on Jo's website. The coasters will also be on sale in Waterstones bookshop in Manchester's Deansgate from the 18th November.
