Posted • FUN SPONGE ALERT 🧽 😬 !!

We need to talk about Christmas cards at schools (with apologies in advance for fun-sponging).

When mine were at primary school, there was always much excitement at the appearance of the Christmas post-box, and the Yrs 6's loved delivering the Christmas post to each class. And it's really lovely. All the warm fuzzy Christmas feels 🥰 🎄
BUT when you start to do the maths around the number of cards, it gets a bit bonkers quite quickly.

🤓 For a class of 30 kids, if they all send each a card, that's 870 cards. If it's quite a small school and there's only one class per year, that's 6,090 cards!!

🤓 I did a bit of googling and I can find a carbon footprint figure of 140g CO2e "based upon a 10g letter, printed upon recycled paper, posted and recycled within the UK." Apparently a typical greetings card usually weighs 30g, BUT in this school situation we're not posting which is one of the biggest contributors to emissions, so maybe we go with 50g CO2e per card?

🤓 That works out at 304.5kg CO2e per school, on cards 😮
That's a third of a tonne.
Or driving 1103 miles in a Ford Fiesta 🚙
Or nearly two return flights from London to Edinburgh ✈️

🤓 Times that by the number of schools in your town/city/county and we're looking at some pretty big, pretty easily avoidable numbers quite quickly!

PLUS I remember the pain involved of getting my youngest to sit down and write them 😬

I'm very aware that this has potential fun sponge vibes, and if you're picking your battles, Christmas cards aren't the biggest impact area of Christmas celebrations, but I think there are ways we can still get the warm fuzzies without quite so much planetary impact.

How about...?
🎄 Each child makes (if they'd like to), or writes one card to the whole class, and there's a lovely classroom display of all the cards OR
🎄Secret Santa for cards-each child picks a name and makes/writes one card

Clearly this needs input from either the school, or you need to at least get your class parent's Whats App group on board!

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Partying imperfectly

Last weekend we celebrated Raffi’s 5th birthday, in style.

Natty hired a local community centre and magically transformed it into a party palace using paper streamers and bubbles to set the scene.

15 kg of Lego set out on tough trays and a soft play made sure our tiny party goers had an absolute hoot.

And Natty laid on a veritable party feast!

Paper party bags contained loose sweets and second hand lego men. What a treat!

When we got home and had put the party goers to bed, we reflected on things that we may do differently next year:

Food waste. There is inevitably a degree of food waste at any party. But next year we’re going to allow friends and siblings to take doggy bags home. Hopefully it will mean that every hungry tummy will get filled.

Bring siblings. Whilst party numbers of school age children can spiral with siblings, we’ve said that next year, as long as there’s space, we’d allow siblings to come along and manage the expectations of the added extras (there may not be a party bag).

Gifts: we are in the midst of a cost of living crisis and we were overwhelmed by Raffi’s friends’ generosity. Next year we are going to add an extra line to Raffi’s party invites. “Gifts not expected. Preloved and home made encouraged”

Invites and thank yous. Using apps such as Canva is super easy for creating beautiful invites without the waste paper.

Posted • Each year I publish the Party Kit Network impact report.

I believe it’s important to be transparent, especially in a purpose-led business.

Writing the report is an opportunity to really reflect upon the past year and to celebrate what we’ve achieved so far.

We still have a LONG way to go before reusable tableware is the default choice, and currently I feel like I will still be writing that for a few more years to come!

Yes, as a Network we logged a whopping 290,000 single-use items avoided this year through the use of our party kits, yet that figure could have been so much higher.

Many of our party kits are underused and we are so ready to party! 🥳

So please tell your friends, your colleagues or as you queue for a bus. Sharing is one of the core solutions to reducing our impact on the planet and we need more people doing it.

Ain’t no party like a party.

The sun shon for Dougie’s Buzz Lightyear 4th birthday party.

We always use Dougie’s birthday as an opportunity to catch up with good friends and celebrate the start of Autumn. A harvest party almost.

We use locally sourced ingredients to make a feast fit for our birthday boy and his friends, with a slow cooked treat for the grown ups too.

Happy birthday gorgeous boy 💙

Such a beautiful space for the gorgeous Theodore’s 5th birthday party. The never disappoints.

On average, we save 100 single use items from landfill per children’s party. That’s 100 reasons to hire a party kit!
