Plant-Based Riot Is 50% Funded!
We’ve reached a milestone in our campaign. We’re over 50% funded and we’re closing in on 150 backers. It’s been 18 months since we set out to create the best card game for families we possibly could - it’s been a voyage of discovery.
Plant-Based Riot is live!
It’s been 18 months in the making. The fruits of our lockdown labours. In many ways, it’s a project that gave us a collective focus and sense of purpose during those difficult days of 2020. And now the day has finally arrived to let it loose on the world.
Are you ready for the Plant-Based Riot?

The rumours are true: our Kickstarter campaign for Plant-Based Riot is launching on 28th July. Plant-Based Riot is our latest card game for families and friends, and it’s going to be crowdfunded by our community.
We’re a Play Creators Awards finalist!
Since we put a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears into this game, we’re absolutely chuffed to bits to see those efforts recognised by the great guys over at Mojo Nation. They’ve only gone and shortlisted the Plant Based Riot design team of Roberto, Courtney and Matt for the final of the Game Designer of the Year Award in the Party Game category!

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈
Pride shows that in the not too distant past, and even today, LGBTQ+ people are not able to express themselves safely. So it’s important inasmuch as it highlights that fact whilst giving power and strength to the movement through community.

Top 10 Easy Houseplants To Care For

Whatever way you slice it, it ain’t easy to take care of houseplants. And for most of us, easy to care for houseplants, especially those that prefer low light (living in the UK, that’s a must), should be at the top of our shopping list when starting our plant parent journey.

The crisis that went viral - the best Suez Canal memes

It was the news story of the week. The Ever Given container ship got stuck in the Suez Canal near the Egyptian city of Suez on its way from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.

The question still remains of how it got stuck in the first place. But what is beyond doubt is our ability to create memes that make us lol, regardless of the severity of the situation.

Plant Life Support - Married at First Sight Australia
It’s the most unlikely cultural exchange of 2021. The Australians get our Plant Life Support self-waterer, and we get Married at First Sight Australia - it’s a pretty fair deal. And since Mail Online Australia has reviewed our Plant Life Support, we only think it’s fair we do the same for MAFS.
International Women’s Day
It’s International Women's Day. Often shortened to IWD, International Women’s Day grew out of the labour movement to become a recognised annual event by the UN. The seeds of it were planted in 1908, when 15,000 women marched through New York City demanding shorter working hours, better pay and the right to vote.
Spring Fair 2021

The annual Birmingham Spring Fair is going online. So Bubblegum Stuff have put together a collection of helpful Buyer’s Guides to make choosing your next best-selling product a walk in the park (which, at the time of writing, is still permitted under the guidelines).
