The party pack has been out in force today- celebrating a big 3️⃣!

This kit was for 50 guests, which means 200+ items saced from landfill. Plus how great does it look? Definitely a welcoming sight for all those party guests.

How gorgeous is this floral arrangement from 🪻🌷🪷🌸

I got it from a local Care Home's Summer Fete this afternoon. It was a great event with a lovely atmosphere. Lots of local people donating time, skills + resources. I love a good community event!

Today I made this guy! He is made from (almost) completely upcycled materials.

The fabric was a duvet cover I got from a charity shop, no longer wanted but in decent condition. I found a retro, unopened bag of stuffing in a second hand shop a few weeks ago, and picked it up for a couple of quid. The only new materials are the eyes + nose.

He's not perfect, and has some wonky stuffing (don't we all 😂). He's been adopted and taken to bed by a tiny housemate of mine, who doesn't mind the imperfections.

I love this as an alternative to buying a new soft toy- because let's be honest, haven't we all got far too many of them at home already?!!

Birthday Breakfast!

The party kit is being used for a construction 🚧 themed party this weekend. It's had an additional outing for a very special celebratory 6th birthday breakfast.

We love to see it getting lots of use!

The party kit was in use for a special 4th birthday party this weekend. Colourful tableware, bright tablecloths and the letterboards welcoming guests- always a popular choice. The birthday boy gave books out as party favours, what a great eco-friendly alternative to plastic!

What to do with a tatty old annual? Turn it into bunting!

I found this classic annual which was very well loved, in a charity shop and I got the bias binding from . Both were headed for - they now have a new life, and look great on the wall!

You've got to be quick round here 😂

The party pack was out yesterday for a PIRATE PARTY! ☠️ If there's a better way to celebrate turning 6 than dressing up, digging for treasure and eating hot dogs with your pals, I haven't heard of it.

If you've got any spare craft bits you don't need, Wild Earth Movement can give them a good home. Message them directly, or I can take donations and pass them on 🖍🖌

This was a new one for the party pack today. Before the party food came out, the tablecloths were down to make SLIME! A 6th birthday party by gave budding little scientists the opportunity to create, experiment, explode, explore and get messy. The pack was used to decorate the hall and to serve food to the 20 little scientists, who were hungry after all their fun.

I'll do pretty much anything for a free donut. Throw in a cup of tea and a dose of Spring sunshine and I'm there!

We had a lovely morning at the litter pick, clearing 162kg of rubbish (it looked pretty clean when we arrived- we were surprised at the volume we found).

Bonus was a donut and a cup of tea from ☕️

What are we all about? 🤔

We know that having a party is lots of fun- but also can mean lots of organising, and lots of waste. So- our party pack is available to save you the hassle of buying plates, cups, tablecloths, serving bowls......and also means none of these things will end up in landfill.🛢

We will always try to make sure that the hire cost is cheaper than buying disposables. We try to make the booking process straightforward, and hope that by using a party pack, you've not got bags full of rubbish at the end of your party.

This is a small project run by a local Mum (me!) with no staff, marketing budget or or fancy booking software (I wish 😂). I am motivated by making parties easier to plan + resource, and to reduce what ends up in landfill. I always think of this quote when it comes to my + my family's impact on the environment-

"There is no such thing as away. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere.” - Annie Leonard 🌳

I believe in community, and working collectively to improve things. I also love party planning, and meeting like minded people (Party Pack hirers are all lovely!). Word of mouth is the most effective way of spreading the word, so please consider telling a friend or neighbour about us.🗣

For more information, send me a message and I can send you a link to the booking form. No pressure to book- the form lists everything we have and the prices. I'm always happy to share this (I don't publish it because things often change as I add to the kit, and I can't keep on top of the form admin + social media!)

Please drop me a message with any questions, suggestions or to make a booking. We love to hear from you! 🌼

We had a lovely morning at an Eco Play session today put on by the wonderful - all the resources were donated, recycled, natural or saved from landfill. It was great to see how effectively these things can all be used to make for creative + engaging activities 🎨

We've brought home loo rolls filled with seeds and are now waiting to see what blooms 🪷🏵🌸🌼

The party pack was busy today- it was booked for a joint 3rd and 6th birthday party, and after a brilliant session with there were lots of hungry litttle athletes who needed refueling. I'm sure all the top sportspeople eat party rings and cheese + pineapple sticks after a workout, right?!

We are BACK! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you for your patience over the last few months. The party kit had a hiatus, which I'm happy to say is now over- and we back up and running. The kit is booked out both days this weekend, so we are starting how we mean to go on for the 2024!

We have big plans for this year and can't wait to get the word out there about all the sustainable swaps we can all make to reduce waste from parties.

Drop us a message for more info or to make a booking.

I had a lovely chilled afternoon making eco friendly skincare products today.

Led by the brilliant we learnt recipes for face scrubs, masks and other bits.

I love making things like this, using kitchen cupboard ingredients. No chemicals, low cost, I can make it exactly how I like it- win win. Nothing is wasted, no plastic packaging, and it all smells amazing.

Also, I ate some cake and had some lovely chamomile + rose tea. ☕️

Thanks to for the workshop space + ingredients.

Why should you consider using our reusable party packs?

Parties are fun right? But we know that they can create lots of waste- much of it not recyclable. We hope that by using one of our party packs you’ll find it easy, efficient and value for money, and be able to enjoy your celebration knowing that you’re doing your bit to help the environment. Using one of our packs for your party can save around 100 items going to landfill!

How does it work?

Have a look through our party packs and decide which one would be best for your party. We’ve got pastels, or rainbow- in packs of 10, 20 and 30. There are also extras which you can add on to your packs.

Let us know when your party is- and we’ll reserve the date for you. We can deliver or arrange for you to collect at a time that’s convenient for you.

Enjoy the party! Then if you could wash the pack and return it to us ready for our next booking that would be lovely.

What area do we cover?

We use Queen’s Park in Harborne as our central reference point; delivery is free within 2 miles. We are happy to deliver further afield, and for that we charge 40p for each additional mile. You are very welcome to collect for free- get in touch to arrange this.

How can you make a booking?

Send us an email at [email protected] or via Facebook Messenger. Please include your email address so that we can send you a booking form.

Payment is via cash or Paypal; we ask for an additional £10 deposit to reserve the booking date. This will be returned once the party pack comes back complete, clean and undamaged. Then it’ll be ready to go to it’s next party!
