Pinktastic Celebrity Art Auction
For weeks we hunted celebrities, gave them supplies of Blu-Tack® Pink and ordered them (well, in a nice, polite, grovelly sort of way) to make us something really rather nice in the "classic masterpiece objet d'art" line, which we auctioned on eBay from March 31.
All the proceeds - which we rounded up to £500 - went to Breast Cancer Campaign, and we were amazed but not all that surprised when a pair of pink boxing gloves from Amir Khan went for almost £120, a guitar modelled by the great Noddy Holder made just over £100 and a pink sheep made by Emmerdale's Mathew Bose made almost £90. Great sports, or what? And we mean the winning bidders as much as the celebrities who made the items.

Perfectly Pink
Staff at Bostik got in on the fundraising by dressing in pink clothes and chipping in some of their hard-earned cash in March. Why not get some colleagues together and do the same? Take a picture and we’ll feature the best ones here!
Pretty In Pink
We're at it again! Last year we created the world's biggest Blu-Tack® spider — 4,000 packets worth! — and this year to mark the month of Mother's Day and Easter we are going pink. Sweet!
What are we making? What does every mother want for Mother's Day? You've got it! Well, you've got it if you said "a giant basket of flowers", anyway.
The result will be on show over the summer, so keep a look-out for it - or you can see it online here in due course. Of course.
Sadly we won't be able to give these flowers to anyone's mum: it will be far too heavy! But we might do a "guess the number of Blu-Tack® Pink packets there are in it" though, so take a look at it online, guess how many packets of Blu-Tack® Pink went into it and if you are right, you could win a little treat.
