On Tuesday, As Ever’s Holiday Collection (Chapter One) dropped online. There are chocolate bars, chocolate-covered fruit, decks of cards and lots of wicker baskets full of goodies. Adjacent to the debut of the 2026 As Ever holiday collection, Meghan posted an Instagram reel, a compilation of video clips all about her journey as a founder. There’s even a cute little clip of Lilibet tasting some jam and declaring it “beautiful.” Real ones remember that the audio has been posted before by Meghan, right? Here’s the message on Meghan’s post:
When I was about eight years old I started my own business making handmade scrunchies I sewed on my grandmother’s Singer sewing machine and sold for $1 a piece.
I sold Girl Scout cookies, had lemonade stands, worked in a frozen yogurt shop and had countless other jobs. My entrepreneurial spirit was always there.
As I shared years ago on The Tig (PS, love you ladies @thetiglets): “Behind every successful woman is herself” – and that’s true… but there’s more: a community of love, a squad of support, an amazing team.
As I pinch myself looking at how this brand has grown, and as we introduce our holiday collection, I feel very proud, and grateful.
A huge thanks to my team at @aseverofficial
So proud of what we are creating together. Thanks for helping bring this vision to life ❤️
LMAO, “a squad of support.” Meghan knows her squad is in the trenches these days regarding the Sussexes’ UK move. This is Meghan saying: I see you, and I appreciate that you’ve always had my back. And a lot of squadies are probably OG Tiglets!! Anyway, the usual suspects are having completely predictable meltdowns about this video and the As Ever holiday collection. I can’t wait for the Princess of Wales to show up with a wicker basket full of discarded wiglets and palace jam. It will be epic.

What a lovely way to make it clear where her focus is and also where it emphatically is not.
I thought this post was perfectly lovely but I admit I’m a petty B because I cackled to myself when I saw it, knowing it was going to cause all sorts of meltdowns in deranger-land. And at Forest Lodge.
I purchased the Hostess Basket which is filled with goodies. Very proud of Meghan and her ability to keep her business growing. The video compilation was too cute from age 8 until now her journey as an entrepreneur is still growing.
I’m literally slobbering over the gorgeous set of goodies being sold by As Ever.
Lucky those of you who live in the US and can buy this stuff – the rest of us can only stare at the beautiful As Ever website and dream of getting our hands on the uber-tempting chocolate-dipped candied fruit…
Enjoy, you lucky folks!!!
Just ordered the chocolate trio. Can’t wait for it to get here.
I got the trio of chocolates. Am regretting not getting the fruit chocolate. These baskets would obviously make nice gifts as well. Anyways the video was cute and I’m laughing at the squad of support. Meghan’s funny.
I went to the site to buy the chocolate. When I saw the dipped fruit 🤯 well, I couldn’t resist. I’m sad that there is no more apple butter or lavender honey but my wallet is glad I guess. 😹
The As Ever origin video was so heart warming! Meghan’s caption detailing her entrepreneurial spirit from age 8 was lovely but what really moved me was how the video highlighted the female legacy of love, strength and protection that flowed from Doria to Meghan and now to Lili.
Truly an origin story in so many ways on so many levels.
A wicker basket full of discarded wiglets imagery had me rolling.
Same here.
Just trying to imagine those ratty plop-ons, made to hover 1⅞ inches above Mumblina’s head.
And buttons, don’t forget the chocolate-covered buttons.
It’s always a real treat for me when the As Ever packages arrive.
It was a beautiful message and from the sound of it As Ever is doing well. I’m happy for her.
I love The Cranberries — such a sweet use of a great song.
Meghan smartly and subtly reminds everyone in this Insta that she didn’t grow up in a wealthy family, that she’s had to work for what she has … She’s also making the point that women can be ambitious and entrepreneurial and that working with other women is the way.
