To you, from all the team at Dr Zigs, we would like to send you ooodles more love this Valentine’s Day. And remember, always to #ShareTheBubbleLove x A year in the life of Dr Zigs , looking at our ambitions and dreams, how these have played out, and of course the challenges too and the utterly unexpected.

After a pleasant stroll from a nearby hotel, a late breakfast was enjoyed here on this summer day. This consisted of a nice freshly brewed cup of coffee and a toasted Panini. Since I’ve written this the terrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria has hit. For years we have worked in the camps in Syria, and in Turkey we have wonderful colleagues. Our heart goes out to those affected in both countries. We will be reaching out and supporting as we can. Now, Paola is looking towards the future and 2021 and she is hoping other businesses are doing the same. An invite to St James Palace (ooohhh) by the Department for International Trade (DIT), followed by the London The Toy Fair next week, then straight into the legendary Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse eG - so exciting and a LOT to do.We have a lot of buyers in Europe and at the beginning of the year I applied for VAT numbers within Europe so we could continue to sell,” said Paola Dyboski-Bryant. For those of you just reading this two days ago we were given just two weeks to vacate our Dr Zigs Bubble Factory.. This is my diary. I’m also posting video diaries to tiktok if you would like to follow)

The best bit of our work at Dr Zigs is sharing our love for Bubbles with all of you. Creating toys to spread laughter and joy, and with our Bubbles doing our best to make the world a better place.

Paola is the founder of Dr Zigs Extraordinary Bubbles and she started the business nearly 10 years ago from her kitchen table in Snowdonia. The idea for a bubble business was formed when she saw her son, Ziggy, in fits of giggles whenever he was around bubbles as a toddler.
