Twig pencils – We source our unique twig pencils from a dedicated Fairtrade wholesaler. The pencils are crafted from natural tamarind tree branches in Thailand by a small family business. Our supplier has visited the family personally to ensure its eco credentials and its Fairtrade status.
Spinner – made from sustainable beech with our cheerful “Have a great day!” message, these are FSC certified.
Note pads – made from old till receipts and beautifully recycled into these great little sturdy note books. We purchase these from an environmentally responsible and ethically sourced promotional merchandise specialist in the UK. A perfect companion to the twig pencils.
Paper glasses – FREE while stocks last! Made from thick paper, these super fun glasses can be coloured in and enjoyed by the children and when the time comes can be recycled with your paper and card collection. Unlike masks or party hats, there are no elasticated bands or staples – just 100% recyclable paper.
Colouring-in activity sheets – these activity sheets with keep little hands and minds busy. Printed on recycled paper.
Party Bag – Our newspaper bags are made by an NGO whose main objective is to provide education and shelter to street children. This eco-friendly product is made from recycled Indian newspaper. The organisation was started in 2004 by street children who wanted to give something back in return for the opportunities which had allowed them to escape desperate circumstances. These elder children, now with children of their own, generate an income by making newspaper bags and jute items. This allows them to take care of the children that they have taken in from the streets surrounding New Delhi train station. Support for this wonderful project means that these children can enjoy going to school and playing, rather than pulling rickshaws, shoe polishing, rag picking and worse.
The newspapers are either in Indian language or English. They are made from recycled newspapers, this is why sometimes your bag will have a completed crossword!
Eco Hero Card – Bright and fun card to keep that comes with a wordsearch game and fun tips to help kids become eco heroes.

We ordered these for our daughter’s 9th birthday party. We received the party bags in good time, packaged nicely and with a lovely hand written message. The bags were well made and sturdy. The contents, especially the pencils and spinners, were of very high quality. We had lots of lovely comments from the guests and their parents, and my daughter was very happy. Will definitely order from here again, and will be recommending them to others. Perfect for parties, weddings, family gatherings.
