Where Does The Name Come From?
Holiday Hamster truly is a family-run business, with both wife and husband working together and the name originating from our (at the time) 7-year-old son.
When looking at setting up the business, he was learning about alliteration at school and was adamant that he wanted to include our family pet somehow because; “It’s a family business. We can’t leave Tigger out.“
After looking at several options, including Tigger’s name, our son suggested using the type of animal instead of the name itself, so “Holiday Hamster” began.
It was also put forward that we use an image of our pet as the logo – which was a great idea. Shortly after, a very talented designer anthropomorphised a photo of our hamster, Tigger, and ‘Harry’ the Holiday Hamster logo was created.
