  1. Look, that's how we spend our evenings at NapNap HQ!

    We meet around a glass of wine and sew some pretty lavender pillows. 

    The lavender comes from the local Hitchin Lavender Farm and was picked up while on a walking trip with the kids. The fabric was found in our local charity shop and is really very pretty. All we needed then was Rebecca's sewing talent. Ta-da! 

    The lavender pillows will be found in our NapNap Voucher Gift boxes and some of our hamper Nests making them even more gifty: a scent of summer everytime you open your wardrobe.

  2. Our local town just celebrated its Fair Trade status renewal and we joined in the party!

    We are choosing all our products very carefully for their eco and ethical credentials and we are pleased to say that when it was time to bring our Fairly Traded products out, not many things were left behind (that would be our recycled home products).
