It's Mental Health Awareness week soon (11th-17th May) and we're reminded how good it is, for all kinds of reasons, to go outside and get your hands dirty.
Pruning, digging, fixing things in your garden or on your balcony or windowsill. That's all part of it, isn't it? Plus, get the kids involved. Start 'em young, we say.
We've got some fab FixIts garden hacks for you to try. Are you a dibber, spoon, or fork kind of person? You choose. They're all fantastic fun to make and easy to use.
Here's a puzzle for you. How did we fix this chest of drawers? Have a look at the pic, and then have a think: what would you do?
Then click on the video to check out how we used FixIts to fix it. In just thirty seconds!
FixIts is such an amazing, easy-to-use sustainable lifestyle solution. It's easy to keep your fixing habit going, grab some fresh packs from our online store and get fixing.
We know lots of you love FixIts because it helps nature out a bit. Well, this Earth Day, what better thing to do than just get in the garden, or on the balcony, and just enjoy it. Nurture your patch. Love your little world.
And remember: you can use FixIts outdoors. It's especially good because it's weatherproof and lasts such a long time. Check out the inspo we've put together for you.
Check out this little vid featuring our new door handle fix. It was one of those things we'd lived with for so long. But not any more. Thanks to FixIts. It's amazing.
What needs fixing that you've lived with for ages?

We're taking FixIts to Design Shanghai this week! This is Asia's leading international design event and we're chuffed to bits to be presenting FixIts as part of it.
It's all thanks to our founder, Chris Lefteri, who (don't tell him we said this!) is widely recognised as one of the leading experts in the field of materials and design.
So fix away friends, knowing FixIts is part of a worldwide movement of repair, care and amazing design.
This London Repair Week, we're getting stuck in and we'd love you to join us! Have a go. Learn a skill. Fix something you love. If you repair it today, you can reuse it tomorrow.
We got the Brew Monday gals back together to have a cup of tea and a chat about why they love fixing things up so much using - you guessed it - FixIts! It's interesting what they say - and we think you'll like this too. Why not pop the kettle on and join us?
Whether it's about feeling more connected to the thing you're fixing, or the fun sensation of using FixIts (remember Play-Doh?), or indeed the joy it brings you adapting or creating something with your own bare hands... it feels good to use FixIts.
This Valentine's, let's spread a bit of love? As well as loving up all the stuff around the house and garden that needs fixing, you can even use FixIts to make these little heartfelt decorations.

It's already February, the year is well and truly underway, huh? Well, we thought, what better time to catch up with some friends and check in on their favourite FixIts fixes.
Have a watch of these vids below for your next fixspiration. They're a little reminder to us that there's such a great joy to be had in fixing things for yourself.
It really is the simple things, isn't it, that make all the difference. Like taking time out to have a cup of tea with people you care about.
Catching up, having a giggle, sharing what's on your mind. You can even have a go at fixing some things together. That's what it's all about.
So, how about it? Pop the kettle on and get your tea fix with a friend or two this week. Human connection is what really fixes things.
Honestly, folks, you inspire us so much.
