20.01.2022 Loved seeing our Rainbow Party Package being enjoyed at a 2nd birthday party today!

20.01.2022 So inspiring to see how differently things can be done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj38m08QLoE

19.01.2022 Last weekend we had a chance to use the pastels party package ourselves for our bub's 1st birthday

17.01.2022 Our reusable party pack went out to a Blueys themed 4th Birthday party today, saving 120 single use items from landfill. If you have a themed party coming up, get in touch as we can customise colours to suit any theme

17.01.2022 We have updated our prices so that washing up is only $10 with any set, so after the party you can take a well earned break. You can book your party now for just a $10 deposit.

16.01.2022 The cost of disposable tableware can add up quickly! There is actually surprisingly little difference between buying disposable products from a supermarket and hiring our Eco Party Package. We can even take care of the washing up for you, so all you need to do after the party is pack the tableware back into a tub, return it to us, and relax

16.01.2022 I love seeing different ideas for Christmas trees, and thinking outside the box! Last year I decorated a triangle shelf we already had at home, with some clay ornaments made with cookie cutters (Ill put a pic in the comments below). One of the previous years we made a "tree" out of a driftwood branch. This year we have a young baby crawling around everywhere, so I dont think I am even going to attempt to decorate anything! I recently saw at Lambton IGA a lovely Australian native plant shaped into a Christmas tree shape, which can be planted in the garden during the year. What are your favorite alternative Christmas tree ideas?

15.01.2022 I love this quote, and the philosophy that we can all be sustainable-ish, doing what we can when and where we can What is the easiest small change you have made in your family?

07.01.2022 It is SO easy to feel hopeless in the face of the climate crisis and environmental destruction. I love this post below about a mum helping her 11yr old deal with climate despair. "Your actions matter because other people see your actions and it makes them think, and maybe makes them act too"

04.01.2022 Fantastic to see the QLD government leading the way - with a plan to ban disposable plastic straws, cutlery and plates, and possibly later including coffee cups, plastic cups and heavy weight shopping bags https://www.abc.net.au//plastic-straws-utensils-f/11680104

03.01.2022 I used to not really think much about this, but it makes complete sense... #notosingleuse

01.01.2022 We recently had an incredibly thoughtful mum donate a whole lot of left over items from her childs Unicorn party. So now, with any booking of our Unicorn Party Set (see the pink/yellow/blue plates pictured, or custom colours), you are welcome to check out the stash and use/borrow anything you like! Also, if you have any leftover themed party items taking up room at your place, I would be happy to take these off your hands and put them to good use (and reuse, and reuse! ).

01.01.2022 How can someone so small be so strong?

01.01.2022 Some great ideas here on ways to get the whole family involved... https://newywithkids.com.au/sustainable-family-environment/

01.01.2022 Some great quick tips on ways to reduce waste this Christmas. I particularly love the idea of an advent calendar of experiences and time together, such as breakfast for dinner, decorating cookies, or giving to those in need.
