Natural Stone Meets Visual Storytelling: Where Craftsmanship Shapes Slabs of Marble Into Works of Art

The work of an experienced fabricator has more in common with a top 3D animation studio than most would expect. Both rely on timing, form, and precision. In the same way animated content demands sharp direction and a skilled eye for detail, slabs of marble call for an expert who knows how to shape texture into design. For those in the UK seeking that rare combination of aesthetic and durability, Imperial Stone Group has quietly become the trusted name.

From their base near Dunstable, the company supplies Italian marble, quartzite, travertine, onyx, granite, and porcelain. All their slabs are imported directly from some of the world’s most sought-after quarries. There are no intermediaries. The result? A clean line between source and final cut—something many animation studios would recognize in their own production pipeline.

More Than a Logo: The Rise of Personalized Corporate Gifting

When someone hands you a corporate gift, it usually goes one of two ways. Either it’s another branded pen destined for the back of a drawer—or it’s something that makes you pause and smile because it actually feels like it was made for you. That second reaction? That’s the new gold standard in corporate gifting.

It’s no longer just about slapping a company logo on a product. Businesses are realizing that a little customization goes a long way, especially when it comes to building real relationships. Thoughtful details like someone’s name engraved on a sleek notebook or a favorite color woven into a custom hoodie can turn a basic gift into something they’ll actually use—and remember. It’s why so many companies are now putting serious thought (and heart) into their customized corporate gifts.

Let’s dive into why this shift is happening, what’s driving it, and how brands are getting creative in ways that make a lasting impression.

Getting your business documentation in order in 2025

A big part of running a business is staying on top of all the paperwork. Behind each document you have to deal with, there’s often a whole range of other related concerns, and how you manage that process can have a huge impact on a range of important issues.

It’s important to develop and implement some sort of system early on, to prevent any kind of disorganised backlog from building up. If 2025 is the year that you decide to take this seriously, then these are a few important things that you’ll need to consider.

Historical St Osyth Priory – Holidays and Wedding Venue

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I were invited to the grand opening of St Osyth Priory, which has been renovated, bringing back it’ historic charm. It’s a stunning venue, with a bunch of different aspects to it. During the grand opening, we were able to hear about the renovations, hear from the historian about what has happened in the area, and generally tour the grounds checking out what it currently is and what the future would be.

[Updated on April 10th, 2025 to include more Easter Trails] We tend to go to a lot of seasonal events each year, and as we have explored, we’ve done a ton of different Easter Trails! As spring is full of nice flowers and better weather, taking advantage of the local Easter Trails in Essex and the surrounding areas can be a great way to get out and about with you and your family. Here are the best Easter Trails we’ve been too.

Meet the Easter Bunnies at Cammas Hall

Cammas Hall has an Easter Trail this year, which takes you around the back of their large farm! The Easter Trail does also allow you to pick your own tulip stems, at 50p per steam, before entering a very well decorated area of the forest, filled with clues and riddles, that goes directly through the bluebell forest. It’s very well decorated and includes a wishing wall, where a bunny tells you to make your own Easter Wish. When you get to the end, you are greeted by two bunnies, given some chocolates, and can play on a number of outdoor activities like bowling and slingshots. Inside Cammas Hall, they also have themed ice cream, pizzas and bbq items.

You can read our full review or check out Cammas Hall on their website.
