An Easter Basket of goodness, literally. ⁠
⁠
Working closely with our chocolate producers we were shocked to learn about the widespread corruption in the mainstream chocolate industry. ⁠
Even household chocolate brand names you know can't be certain of clean supply chains, free from cruely and misconduct.⁠
⁠
All the producers available at our online store are on a mission to change and improve the chocolate industry, so you can be safe in the knowledge that only good can come from their bars.

The founders of initially launched after a spate of terrorist attacks caused a huge drop off in the number of tourists visiting Kenya, as a way of supporting the country's artisan producers.⁠
⁠
They now showcase a wide range of designs from across Africa with each piece handcrafted using local and indigenous materials that take into account sustainability and ethical production.⁠

We're thinking Easter Host gifts, what about you? Swipe to see some of the beautiful pieces available.

“There’s a need to change values and perceptions towards people who live with varying difficulties,” says Becky, the founder of ARTHOUSE Unlimited, where all the beautiful packaging is designed by adults living with complex neuro-diverse and physical support needs.

We know that Easter isn't *all* about chocolate, but also when it looks (and tastes this good) we can't help but shout about all the chocolatey deliciousness available at our online store now.

These hand painted chocolate eggs are things of real beauty. The box contains six brown eggs filled with salted caramel ganache and six white eggs filled with hazelnut praline.

The price includes a donation to Different Kind charity partners The Circle and Rosa.

Meet Farawee, the sweet sheep, made by Syrian efugees living in Turkey. This dear soft toy is based on a creature from Syrian folklore and is made from crocheted GOTS-certified organic cotton.

Farawee comes to us via , an organisation that is dedicated to promoting the craft skills of refugees. Their partner organisation Bebemoss allows women to use those skills to support their families whilst also working from home. Everyone receives a Fair Trade-wage and has the freedom to set their own hours.

The toys made by are created to be hugable and sustainable, keeping the next generation in mind in every way.

Why settle for cleaning tools any less stylish than these brooms made from birchwood and bassine. We think their simple designs bring a sense of quiet joy and satisfaction to every day tasks. ⁠

Each brush is handmade in Sweden or Estonia by a person with a visual impairment. The company has been running since 1870 and operating as a social enterprise since 2012. This isn’t just about creating jobs either, it’s about valuing traditional craft skills and appreciating the beauty of everyday objects.⁠
⁠
Brush making by visually impaired people has a long tradition across northern Europe, so while Iris Hantverk provides practical, modern jobs it’s also preserving a piece of history that’s valued by everyone involved.
