So a big welcome to 2026 at AW.

A new year always feels a little bit like  a fresh notebook. Clean pages. Big possibilities. And thinking Yeah!, “This could be a good one.”

At Ancient Wisdom, we’re choosing to believe exactly that. We have made a bold plan for 2026.. hope you are coming for the ride!!

This year already starts with some lively momentum.
Our new, larger warehouse in Spain is coming together — giving us more space, better flow, and better service for our customers across Southern Europe.  We will shortly expand our incense range in Spain.. the new warehouse will have a larger Tea packing / mixing area. The warehouse is bigger, but the offices are super spacious.. offering lots of possibilities for expansion..  hope you are coming for the ride!!

See before and after AI inspired .. (in process) of our new Spain warehouse. 

At at the same time, an Indian container has just landed in the UK, full of colour, craftsmanship, and the kind of products that remind us why we love what we do. An Indonesian container is due any day.

Behind the scenes, we’re also investing heavily in something less visible but hugely important — our Bali development and digital marketing team. Brilliant people, building better systems, smarter tools, smoother connections… all so doing business with AW becomes easier, faster, and more profitable for you.

And this is just the beginning. You will see all our websites dramatically upgraded over the next few weeks.. AW-Dropship.com in the UK is already using a new backend system that is already opening more possibilities for our customers.. With MUCH MORE.. to come. 

Coco came from China to Spain..

She has not stopped working whilst she is here.. constantly on the phone or WeChat with suppliers.. and remotely monitoring container loading in our China warehouse in the early hours here. 

And we have a new "Can You Sell this? From Holly, taking a deep dive into Greenman Ritual Bath Salts & Soaps..

These are new Bath Salts - Epsom Salts based and going to be great in 2026..

Travel Plans 2026.. 

 Follow me on my travels this spring as I move between the UK, Nepal, India, Indonesia and China — not as a tourist, but as a product hunter with a notebook full of ideas and our 2026 wish-list in my pocket. I’ll be sharing real stories from workshops, villages, factories and markets, meeting the real people behind the products, spotting trends before they arrive in Europe, and quietly shaping the next generation of Ancient Wisdom ranges. I'm planning to make some more Travel Style YouTube videos.. (please follow me) If you enjoy discovering what’s coming before it becomes mainstream — and like seeing how craft, culture and commerce connect — then I’d love you to come along for the ride.   Any suggestions or ideas are gratefully received.. 

Anyway wishing you all the best for 2026.

So this is my gentle nudge to you:

Be curious.
Be bold.
Test something new.
Back yourself a little more this year.

We’ll keep doing what we’ve always tried to do — source honestly, price fairly, innovate quietly, and support you as best we can along the way.

Thank you for choosing to trade with Ancient Wisdom.
Thank you for trusting us.
And thank you for being part of our story.

Let’s make 2026 a year we’re proud to remember.

Warm wishes,
David
