Good morning everyone,

Hey guys,

I've been laid in bed with man flu last few days and didn't even realise it was black friday today, so haven't had chance to put any deals together so what I will do is include a free mantis with every order all this weekend!!!! That means you could buy a x2 mantis mystery box and receive x3 for just £10!! If anyone looking for any other deals, inbox me, im feeling rather vulnerable and you might be able to take advantage and get some awesome deals 🤣

Have a good weekend guys

Aaron
