Did you know that you can make your own snack combinations in store?
We made this trail mix for a camping trip last week and it was 👌🏻 all our favourite nuts, plus pumpkin seeds, goji berries and dark choc chips (of course!).
We just need to weigh each item, so let us know every time to pop a new one in the mix and you’re good to go! And not a single plastic packet in sight ☺️

Our newest tea from is an absolute must as an iced tea 🧊 Just brew for ten mins, cool until you need some refreshment then pop in a couple ice cubes. Perfection 👌🏻
Wild Fruits is a delicious blend of hibiscus flowers, apple and raspberry pieces, rose-hip peels and blackberry leaves. So. Good!

First attempt at focaccia was a success, despite the assistance of little hands 😅)

Give it a try, you won’t regret it 🤤🤤🤤

Look at this amazing stock up 🙌🏻 We often get asked which containers to use for refilling. And the simple answer is you can use anything! Glass jars, cotton bags, plastic Tupperware, old plastic food packets and boxes. We always have paper bags available, but we (and the planet!) would much prefer it if you reused a vessel you already have ☺️

We have the best customers EVER! One lovely such customer dropped this beautiful bloom into the shop for Emma this week 🫶🏻
We can always count on you lovely lot to make us smile, which is why we love doing what we’re doing.
We really appreciate the support, whether you come in multiple times a week, or once a month, your custom helps us stay afloat.
So thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And please keep telling people about us, word of mouth recommendations help us immensely 🙏🏻

Look at this clever clogs ✨ Labelling up their jars with the weight so they don’t need to bother weighing them when they do their shop! How aesthetically pleasing too!! 🫶🏻

We’re sure this isn’t news to you, but things are extremely difficult for independent business owners at the moment. And we think it’s important to be honest, we need your support. Without it, we will disappear.

We want refill shopping to be accessible to everyone. That’s why our prices are as low as they can possibly be without us making a loss.

We put our blood, sweat, tears and lifelong savings into making this little shop a reality. And we don’t want to have to give up on it. So please keep spreading the word about us. We want to continue offering you the opportunity to reuse and refill ✌🏻

The reason we decided to open a refill shop??

To give the local community the chance to buy all of these products without the need for plastic.

Every week, hundreds of bottles and packets are saved from landfill because we all work together to prevent it.

We love what we do because it’s worthwhile. And this is the reason we have invested so much time, energy, love and hard-earned cash into this independent business.

We want to remain here for years to come. And that’s why we need your support 🙏🏻
Please talk to your friends and neighbours about us. They may not know we exist!
