Kid's parties should be...

Affordable

Let's end the pressure to buy new or expensive gifts for every party your child gets invited to.

Planet friendly

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

Full of Joy

Let's make children's parties fun, exciting and memorable events. They don't need a pile of presents to make that happen.

Why sign the Pact?

We’re ditching:

  • Financial pressure to spend big
  • Plastic-filled party bags that end up in the bin
  • Awkwardness about what to give
  • Always buying new
  • Overwhelm, clutter and waste (for you and your kids)
  • The message that happiness = more stuff

Sign the Pact to normalise:

  • Affordable, inclusive fun without the pressure
  • Planet and pocket-friendly party favours
  • Clear, simple gift guidance
  • Pre-loved, homemade & experience gifts
  • More joy, less waste
  • Raising conscious kids who know happiness ≠ stuff

10,000 parents

We’re aiming for 10,000 parents to sign the Pact.

Because there is strength in numbers  –  together we can shift the culture of gifting and party bags.

With thousands behind us, we’ll have the power to push retailers and policymakers to swap plastic tat for affordable, sustainable alternatives.

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
