About Chiggs Ltd
We are a family run business based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, selling a range of unique products we have invented and designed. Our inventions, Chiggs Wheels (the Baby Feed Wheel, Baby Medicine Wheel and Get Well Wheel) are both baby products and greetings cards so we consider ourselves to be both nursery product suppliers and greeting card publishers!
We sell direct to retail, so in addition to our online shop, Chiggs Wheels are available to purchase from stockists throughout the UK and abroad and a wide variety of online retailers. For more information about becoming a stockist and purchasing wholesale please see our trade and wholesale pages.
The story behind Chiggs Wheels
My inspiration for the Baby Feed Wheel came when visiting a friend, following the birth of her little boy and she was struggling to remember the time of his last feed. It brought back memories of my own "hazy days" following the birth of my daughter!
After two months of design and research the Baby Feed Wheel was born. I registered my design with the Patent Office, then launched the website www.chiggs.co.uk (the company gets its name from my childhood nickname!)
The Baby Medicine Wheel followed soon after. Whilst on holiday with friends and their little boy, he was teething and needed medicine. Our friends used a Baby Feed Wheel to record the time of each dose so that they knew when the next dose would be due. Shortly after the holiday I contacted the Patent Office with my second product!
I was amazed to find that there wasn't anything available to help parents keep track of medicine times when caring for a poorly infant - so many people have said to me that they write notes on scraps of paper which they promptly lose!
With the introduction of the Get Well Wheel, children and adults of all ages can monitor their medicine times whether recovering from illness, or taking regular medication.
From these beginnings, Chiggs' Wheels are now sold worldwide by a wide variety of stockists including gift shops, baby & nursery retailers, greeting card shops, garden centres, childrenswear boutiques, gift hamper makers,nappy cake designers, party planners, real nappy advisors, and online retailers!
Our products are designed and printed in the UK and hand finished here in Harrogate. All Chiggs Wheels are presented in a cellophane wrapper and supplied with a white envelope, both of which are made in Yorkshire.
