We are very aware of the climate crisis in the world and particularly, plastics in our oceans, and would like to do our part to encourage more mindfulness when shopping – that is if you MUST shop.
If you gift experiences – even better!
TOYS
A toy store started by a father and his then-10-year-old son is now one of the biggest toy stores, rivaling the likes of Walmart, Fat Brain Toys has a range of organic green toys made out of recycled materials, reused wood, bamboo, materials from managed forests, and they even have solar-powered toys!

So many things to love about this UK-based store. One, they are a family business run out of their home, an old steam sawmill! Two, their website is adorable.
Three, their company missions are basically their family values and here are just a few of them.
They want to encourage children to be creative, healthy & active, environmentally friendly and interested in learning about the world around them; help children understand how the environment works and why we need to look after it; and encourage children to treasure their belongings and pass them on to others when they have grown out of them.
