Happy International Dog Day! 🐾🐾🐾

Ok so who is a gum chewer? 👄

This is a brilliant keyring that is a mini gum collecting bin! 🔑

You can stick your chewed up gum inside and save to send back (free of charge post) to be recycled into amazing products! It’s actually made of recycled chewing gum! 🚮

The incredible brand Gum Drop are transforming wasted bubble gum (that is unsightly and expensive to clean up) into cool reusable products like cups, pencils, notebook covers, coasters, even rubber shoe soles! 💡 ♻️

“The Gumdrop on the go comes with a key ring making it easily attachable to your daily essentials, and a side sticker which tells you where to go in order to download your Free Post label to send it back to us to recycle.”

Did you know that chewing gum contributes to 100,000 tonnes of plastic pollution annually! It is estimated that about 80-90% of chewing gum is does not get disposed of properly! This means is is one of the most highly littered items to be found in streets and
public places. 👎🏻

It’s very difficult and costly to clean up (and its GROSS)! 🤢

So be part of a unique solution with this funky keyring today! 🙌💞

It was wonderful to visit Horse Fair Care Home - Avery Healthcare today and celebrate Earth Day with some of the lovely residents! Thanks so much for having Jessica share some her passion. ♻️🌎💚🙏🌱

Very much looking forward to celebrating Earth Day with you all! ♻️💚🌎🌱

To celebrate Earth day on Monday 22nd April, we will be doing our bit to help the insects, which play such a vital roll in our ecosystem by making mini bug hotels from recycled household materials. We will also have the pleasure of having Jessica from EarthyStuff Square Peg Promotions join us to talk about sustainable lifestyles.

Its Friday and the sun is shining! 🌞

There may still be a chill in the air but sunny days like this make us excited to see our wildflowers grow from our little Earthy Stuff Bee Seed Bombs. 🐝 🌹

These fabulous UK, handmade seed bombs can be planted in pots or directly in the ground. Crafted in the shape of a bee, they come in an eco friendly kraft box and contain a variety of wildflower seeds just waiting to grow. 🌱🌼🌻🌹

They can be ordered straight from our online shop. 🙂

Happy Easter!

Today is International Day of Forests 2024! 🌳🌳🌲🌳🌳

This year’s theme is Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a better world!🌎

At Earthy Stuff, are passionate about innovation and protecting our forests! We support monthly tree planting iniatives, sustainable practices and stive to source products which champion nature. We specially selected our “tree free” notebooks that have paper made from upcycled materials rather than wood.♻️ Some of our packaging is made from wood pulp rather than plastic to avoid wasting a valuable resource! 🪵

And of course the Earthy Stuff team love spending time exploring the forests and enjoying nature.💚

Here’s some interesting info from the British Biological Society 👇🏻

Did you know...

“Forests make up 31% of the Earth’s land area and contain more than 80% of the world’s biodiversity, making them some of our most vital ecosystems on the planet.

Moreover, 1.6 billion people in the world currently rely on forests for their livelihood. Forests provide us with food, fuel, medicine, spirituality, and – for 300 million people across the globe – homes.

Forests are also massive carbon stores, meaning they help keep our air clean and mitigate the damaging effects of the climate crisis by storing carbon. Trees store carbon using photosynthesis, and use it to grow their trunks, bark, branches, root systems, and leaves.

Forests are an irreplaceable source of biodiversity, beauty, sustenance, and carbon storage–but they’re also under threat.”

Take a moment to reflect on the important of forests in your life and how you can live in a more harmonious way with nature. There’s a multitude of resources on the UN and British Ecological Society to learn more about how we can protect & learn from Earths amazing forests! Have a looks. 👀 💚🌎🌲

Today is Global Recycling Day! ♻️🌎♻️🌎♻️

A day to reflect upon how we can use waste as a resource. But even more crucially to not make so much in the first place. Produce less, reuse more.



“The mission of Global Recycling Day, as set out by the Global Recycling Foundation, is twofold:

1. To tell world leaders that recycling is simply too important not to be a global issue, and that a common, joined up approach to recycling is urgently needed.

2. To ask people across the planet to think resource, not waste, when it comes to the goods around us – until this happens, we simply won’t award recycled goods the true value and repurpose they deserve”

Add a bit of pizazz to your table with these brightly coloured bamboo serving bowls! 👌🏻

Each one is hand crafted from organic bamboo ethically sourced in Vietnam from two family run farms. 🎋

The bamboo used to makes these beautiful bowls is picked and processed using only basic tools and very skilled hands! 😊

They are ethically and sustainably made and look absolutely beautiful. 😍

And last but not least, our founder Jess who absolutely loves connecting, and promoting the many inspiring women who are creating sustainable goodness in the world! 💚💚💚

It’s World Wildlife Day. 🌎

A day for connecting people to the natural world and for encouraging continued learning and action for the plants and animals on planet Earth. 🌱 🦒 🌴 🦔 🌺 🐝🌾🦦

Today, while we celebrate the incredible biodiversity on our planet, we must remind ourselves of the need to live more harmoniously and respectfully with nature. 🐋🐙🐢🐒🪻

We must collectively work together to find ways to support, protect and repair the amazing flora & fauna whose home we share. 🌏🌳🍃🥰


“Fortunately, nature is amazingly resilient: places we have destroyed, given time and help, can once again support life, and endangered species can be given a second chance. And there is a growing number of people, especially young people, who are aware of these problems and are fighting for the survival of our only home, planet Earth. We must all join that fight before it is too late.” – Jane Goodall 🙏💚

Darwin and Jess have so much fun researching and sourcing eco gifts!!! ♻️🐾🎁

They are always on the scout for sustainable new products to share, especially ones that are cruelty free, support social enterprise and make a positive change in the world! 🌱🫶🏻 🌍

We’d love to hear from you about what your favourite products are or what you’d love for us to offer! Or better yet, tag someone who might like to collaborate. 🥰

By choosing more responsibly and working together we can create a greener, kinder future! 💚💚💚

Happy National Love Your Pet Day! 🥰🐾🐕

It’s safe to say Darwin is very loved! Although we don’t really consider him a pet, more of a furry friend who brightens our every day! ❤️

Who else is spoiling their animal companions today? 🐶🥰

Today may be Valentine’s Day but it’s also the 1st Birthday of a very special organisation called ! 💚💚💚

Not only do they love green as much as us, but their mission also has sustainability and kindness at heart! Which is simply wonderful! 🙏♻️


Our very own .davanzo went to visit the amazing individuals who set up Grace Cares today and to help them celebrate such an achievement! Keeping true to their eco values, the birthday balloons were even recycled from a recent birthday party at the weekend! Its a wonderful place doing so much good! 🎉🎉🎉

If you haven’t heard of Grace Care’s, they “collect, donate, and sell pre-loved care equipment to enhance people’s quality of life, support care workers and older people in need with grants and community groups and leave a better planet for future generations.” 👏👏👏

It’s absolutely horrifying how much care equipment ends up in landfill when there is so much life left in them and so many people who could benefit from its use! Grace Cares are changing this with their awesome work! 🦽✅

Beyond the sustainability aspects of their cause, Grace Cares do so many wonderful things for the community and the founders volunteer their time tirelessly to make their mission become a success! 🥰

So join us in sharing some Valentines Day Love by liking and interacting with there page! And if you know of any care homes or individuals that could either donate care equipment or benefit from it, get in touch with the lovely team! 😊

Happy Valentines all and a very happy birthday to 🥳🥳🥳

A special thanks to Beauty Favours for mentioning us in your lovely blog! 💚♻️🙏
