Planning a party doesn’t have to mean producing heaps of waste. At Friendly Turtle’s EcoBlog, we believe themed gatherings can be joyful and eco-conscious. Ditch the single-use plastic and opt for experiences that bring people together - like murder mystery kits, board game nights, or garden Olympics. Encourage guests to create outfits from what they already own or recycled materials, reducing textile waste. Skip the plastic favours - send guests home with seeds, handmade snacks or bath bombs instead. Choose reusable decorations or rent what you need; potted plants and citrus garlands add beauty with minimal impact. Whether it’s a garden party, tea party or DIY costume night, a little creativity goes a long way. Celebrate sustainably and inspire your guests to do the same. Hosting a green gathering isn’t just stylish - it’s a meaningful way to care for the planet while making lasting memories.

Londons First 'Mindful Market' With Vegans Of London

London's First Mindful Market - Conscious Living For Londoners
So...some super exciting news to announce this week- we have a spot at London's very first 'Mindful Market' this September 7th, hosted by Vegans Of LDN! This will be a market dedicated exclusively to ethical traders and conscious consumers, so naturally, it fits in very well with our own ethos. With 60+ vendors here on the day, there will be everything from vegan hot food stalls, sweet treats, sustainable goods for the home, clothing, plants, candles...and of course a lovely range of goods from our very own shop on display. Expect indoor and outdoor stalls, large ones and small ones, free sampling and up to 80 different traders serving up everything ethical, vegan and kind. Sounds super fun and we can't wait for this one to come around. This is hopefully the first of many markets and pop-ups we have in stall for the coming months and the build-up towards Christmas. It's great to get out and chat with like-minded people who are keen to reduce waste, live sustainably, and trying to help clean up our oceans and environment, just as we are. So if you're free and looking for something fun to do, don't forget to come check it out and say hi!
