Planet friendly

Let's normalise pre-loved, handmade, sustainable presents, experiences, small cash gifts...or even no gift at all.

So many parents dread the gifting element of children’s parties.

The expense, the plastic tat, the clutter.

Our current culture can make you feel:

  • awkward sharing ‘gift guidance’ for your kid’s party.
  • uncomfortable if you turn up as a guest empty-handed, or with a second-hand present.   
 

Some people don’t take their child to parties because they can’t afford to get a gift 😔

This is CRAP.

But…

We can change this culture if we collectively wave goodbye to these social norms.

Sign the pact and become part of a movement of parents who want to normalise more affordable, sustainable presents.

This is a gift your children will thank you for in years to come 🌎💚

"I really agree with this! So many bouncy balls, stampers and mini bubbles after one year of primary school parties."
Claire H, Oxford
"This is AMAZING and so needed! Well done on this fab concept!"
Clare D, London
"Count me in. The plastic tat influx is unbearable, and the costs when your kid starts primary school is not affordable for so many."
Jack, Bristol
"I'm so sick of plastic waste in party bags - we all know we need to change this, so why mindlessly hand it out?"
Lorna, Edinburgh
"This is a great idea and often I am the one who can’t afford it"
Sam, Oxford
"I agree parties and buying gifts is so expensive specifically while cost off living is so high as well"
Becky, Kendal
"Epic idea - we are all just trapped by the status quo. I feel inspired to gift differently, with confidence that it doesn’t negatively impact my child’s birthday experience and I won’t be judged by other parents (especially if we’re all in it together!)
Emma, Exeter
"I’ve been worrying about this for so long and wondering how to break the cycle!"
Liz, Durham
"People are insane, I appreciate them wanting to show that they love my child, but I hate that they are simultaneously destroying the planet to do so. It's great you're trying to change the norm on this.
Joe, Brighton
