Our boxes are made from 100% recyclable cardboard, which are made from 70-75% recycled materials. They are beautifully filled with recycled and recyclable crinkle paper. We add biodegradable stickers and recycled patterned kraft paper to hold your box contents in place inside the box. The gift boxes fold shut and do not require any tape or glue to close, simply a biodegradable sticker. We wrap the box with recycled and recyclable kraft paper and tape to keep it safe on its journey.

If you would like your box to be gift wrapped which adds an extra layer of material, simply choose it at the checkout. Being an eco-friendly brand we're working on improving our box aesthetics and reducing our waste, so adding another layer of wrapping is something we offer to you as personal choice. We add a £4 charge for gift wrapping.

We’ve spent the last 3 years reviewing and working with sustainable brands across the country. We’ve developed our own Zero Waste Award to help us understand more about a brand’s use of resources and ethical practices. All our products meet our high standards and we work with and promote BAME, female-owned and small, independent brands. So you can shop safely in the knowledge that your gifts are unique and sustainable.
Our packaging and the packaging that the products come in have been sourced with care, using recycled and recyclable materials. Our boxes intend on being zero waste, so nothing inside your box goes to landfill. The paper tape is recyclable, the outer craft paper too. The tissue, stickers and fill also can be recycled or composted at home.

Absolutely, you can just put in the details of the intended recipient in the address box and we’ll post it out to your friend or loved one.
