A bit of a different post from me today!
Last week, I overheard someone talking about how our wooden toys are imported rather than made in the UK. We ended up having a really lovely conversation and were completely on the same page about supporting local businesses, sustainability, and conscious shopping.
What they didn’t notice, though, was the huge range of handmade, UK-made, and Cornish-made children’s items we stock alongside our toys.
We are incredibly proud to support over 40 local artists and makers, as well as a fantastic selection of UK-made children’s products, including:
• PlayPress – sustainable pop-out play sets made in the UK
• Cotton Twist – UK-made, women-owned craft and “make your own” kits (we stock 10 different sets, plus more of their lovely products!)
• Neon Magpie tattoos and colouring books
• Penacre Willow’s beautiful fairy wands, handmade in Coverack from locally grown willow
• Books from Cornish authors Chough Rock and Hannah Gold
• Jane’s Makes creations, including A5 notebooks, pencil cases, coil purses, and bags that are perfect for children
• Happy Sunshine Eye Pillows’ “Kiddiwinks” unscented eye pillows
• Sowenna Crochet’s children’s scrunchies
We are so proud to offer such a diverse range of UK-made and Cornish-made items, and to support the talented people behind them.
And on that note... if anyone knows of any UK-made wooden children’s toys, please let me know! ❤️
