Expressions Tea Towel Fundraising December Newsletter
Thank You for an Incredible Year of Fundraising!
As we wrap up another amazing year at Expressions Fundraising Australia, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our incredible schools, childcare centres, and community groups who supported us throughout 2024. This year marked our 25th year helping Australians create lasting memories through Expressions Tea Towels, bags, and aprons and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.
From the tiny handprints of preschoolers to the creative self-portraits of primary students, every tea towel fundraiser we printed this year told a story of creativity, collaboration, and community. We’re so grateful to each coordinator, parent volunteer, and student who made their project shine. Your support means the world to us.
Christmas Closure Dates
Our team will be taking a well-earned break over the festive season. We’ll be closed from 19th December and reopening on 20th January 2025. If you have any urgent queries during this time, please email us at info@expressions.com.au.
We know how much love and effort goes into every project and we want to thank the amazing volunteers who give their time to make school fundraisers in Australia such a success. We hope you get the chance to rest, recharge, and enjoy the holidays surrounded by family, friends, and maybe even a few of our festive tea towel keepsakes.
Staff Picks: Our Favourite Christmas Designs
This December, our studio was filled with cheerful creativity! It’s always tough choosing favourites when so many incredible designs come through our doors, but here are a few standouts that made our team smile:
- Possums Place Preschool impressed us with their screen-printed bottle print framed by a festive Christmas border. It perfectly captured the spirit of community and joy.
- We also loved a full-colour digital tea towel featuring playful Christmas character heads a bright, fun design we know families will treasure for years.
- And a special mention to the elegant sky-blue snowflake tea towel proof that simple, thoughtful designs can be absolutely stunning. Screen printing remains one of the most affordable ways to produce beautiful, customised gifts and promotional products.
We’re proud to use ethically sourced, eco-friendly cotton across all our products, supporting sustainability while creating timeless keepsakes. Every towel, apron, and bag is made with care, ensuring your school fundraising ideas not only raise money but also feel good for the planet.
Looking ahead, March is one of the best times of the year to start your fundraising for schools especially in the lead-up to Mother’s Day. It’s the perfect window for schools and childcare centres to launch new tea towel printing projects that deliver maximum participation and profits.
If you’d like to get a head start, we can send you a Coordinator’s Kit at the beginning of Term 1. Simply fill out our contact form here and we’ll get it organised for you.
