The Hello Baby Box, version two
The contents of this box are as soft and sweet as a newborn baby.
We love Farawee the sheep. Our favourite little lamb is hand-knitted in Turkey and safe for even the smallest to cuddle with. We also end up exclaiming over the handmade booties from Garvald Studios in Scotland.
Trill On The Hill’s Sea Buckthorn Universal Balm is good for nappy rash and sore nipples, but can also be used as a body balm, a cleanser, a soother of rough hands and a tamer of flyaway hairs.
If you want to pay some attention to baby’s hair, then this brush from Iris Hantwerk has the softest of bristles for the softest of heads.
Also baby-soft are the muslins from From Babies With Love, made from organic cotton and perfect for wrapping, wiping, bibbing and blanketing.
The candle is from our own Different Made range, created in collaboration with Real Inspiration who provide craft-based workshops and training in a therapeutic environment. Each candle is made by hand from rapeseed oil wax and has a burn time of around 40 hours. Choose from Citrus Grove (patchouli, geranium and lemon)
The Good & Proper hibiscus tea is a reminder that every new parent deserves a good, proper, break.
We put a lot of thought into picking the right products for our collection of gift boxes, trying to strike the balance between good value for you and a luxurious treat for your gift recipient.
We also love that that every item, in every box, is made by a company who are dedicated to changing the world for the better.
The Different Made candles are created in collaboration with Real Inspiration - an incredible organisation in Hertfordshire train adults and young people in textile, soap and candle-making, helping them to overcome barrier to employment or education. Real Inspiration know that these barriers are different from person to person and that each trainee needs to be approached as an individual.
All of the profits From Babies With Love make go to helping abandoned children around the world.
Garvald believe in showcasing talent. They work with adults with learning disabilities creating an environment that is part art school, part co-working space and where confidence can flow.
Good & Proper Tea show the true value of tea, making sure that producers are paid fairly and that - unlike some mass-produced teas - everything they offer is made from the best leaves.
Farawee comes to us via Made 51, an organisation that is dedicated to promoting the craft skills of refugees. Their partner organisation Bebemoss allows women to use those skills to support their families whilst also working from home. Everyone receives a Fair Trade-wage and has the freedom to set their own hours.
Trill On The Hill’s products come from 30 acres of woodland and other biodiverse habitats on the Jurassic Coast. It’s where they harvest some of their ingredients and also host wild camping in summer.
