Travel Gifts and Goodies, new from BusyB!February 22, 2020 This long and rainy spring has us dreaming of summer holidays! So, a delivery from BusyB this week was perfectly timed to feed our travel dreams and add to our travel gift wish list! Everyone knows half the fun of travel is the preparation, whether you’re off for a week in the sun or the adventure of a lifetime. My favourite piece from the new collection is this amazing In Flight Pouch. This zipped and transparent pouch is perfect for airport security. No more frantic searching for disposable zip locked bags, keep your cosmetics smart and safe in this handy travel pouch. I love the gusset construction, which means my travel bottles* can stand upright, keeping everything neat and accessible. *bottles do not come with the bag! Brilliant BusyB In flight Pouch I’m a big fan of a nice passport cover and had had mine now for years. However, I am very tempted to update to this shiny new Busy B Passport Cover. For one thing the fab metallic cover means it won’t be lost in a hurry! As well as keeping your passport safe, there’s room for a couple of credit cards and a zipped purse – super handy for different currencies. Busy B Zipped Passport Cover Keep everything together in this fab Passport Cover! And last but not least, this Passport Cover and Luggage Tag Set is perfect for gifting. The vintage map cover is a classic for all ages, and I know from experience how handy a luggage tag is when airport fatigue sets in and all suitcases look the same! Passport Cover and Luggage Tag That’s our Travel round up for today, hope you’re planning some nice trips and don’t forget your passport!!
Fair Trade Toys at ButterslipNovember 26, 2019 We are super proud of our range of Fair Trade Toys at Butterslip, and always working to add more to our range. Certified Fair Trade Toys comply with strict rules of production and company behaviour and give us all peace of mind. Dinosaur 1-10 Jigsaw We are delighted to work with Fair Trade Toy company Lanka Kade, who produce beautiful, lasting wooden toys in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has a long history of wood work and craftsmanship and such is the perfect place to manufacture. The products are designed in Britain by the team at Lanka Kade, and then manufactured by small family owned factories in Sri Lanka. Diane and Upal from Lanka Kade visit the factories regularly, and ensure Fair Trade practices are employed across the board. Below are just some of the Pricipals of Fair Trade that are employed by Lanka Kade: “We support marginalised, small producers to enable them to move from income insecurity to economic self-sufficiency and ownership. Our key aim is poverty reduction through trade. We ensure that there is no child labour or forced labour in our producer groups. Frequent visits and regular audits are completed to ensure all suppliers comply. We do not maximise profits at the expense of our producers. We maintain long term trading relationships with prompt payment, interest free loans and design products for their skills. We actively work with our producers to provide safe and healthy working conditions for all employees. We offer regular first aid and health and safety training to facilitate improvement” Yellow Digger Jigsaw We love Lanka Kade Wooden Toys, not just for their great story, but because they make great toys! The jigsaws are sturdy and tactile for little fingers to play with, and they look fab too! They make fantastic learning tools, requiring dexterity and coordination to put together and their bright attractive colours will be loved by both little and big people. As well as a range of fabulous and Fair Trade wooden jigsaws, the wooden name plaques are a big hit here at Butterslip! Choose from a fabulous range of plaques, then add the letters to make up your chosen name. We will put the plaque together for you and, best of all, it comes ready to stick to your bedroom door!
