Bubble Tree- Bubble Tree was developed by toy industry veterans who noticed a void in the marketplace for American-made products that are both sustainable and eco-friendly. With 80 years of combined experience, Bubble Tree’s founders have developed a product that will truly produce moments of happiness and fun with children, parents, while keeping the environment in mind. The American Bubble Company takes its responsibility to the environment seriously. Historically, over 300 million one-time-use plastic bottles of bubbles are imported into the United States every year. Bubble Tree’s mission is to reduce this and create products that will contribute to the prevention of plastic pollution in our waterways and landfills. Bubble Tree takes pride in sourcing recycled materials that can be recycled multiple times and repurposed. Their goal is always to deliver high-quality American-made products that are eco-friendly and sustainable. This product was developed to help reduce plastic pollution, waste, and overuse of plastic bottles. It is made from aluminum, the most recyclable material on earth, and 100% recyclable corrugated. Bubble Tree features 3 different lines: the original refillable bubble system, the original refillable bubble solution, and aluminum bubble multi-packs. Our bubble system uses refillable aluminum bottles that can be filled numerous times using its very own refillable system. The systems are portable and feature an easy-to-carry handle.

With over 20 kids amongst us, we have gone through our fair share of beach toys over the years. Tired of the many poor quality beach toys that were on the market, offering no emotional connection, we decided to make our own brand.

It really is such a treat to get to make beautiful candy. We had make everything in small batches and use the finest ingredients available. Most of the designs that we offer are hand painted and cut.

We love children who are disheveled, with runny noses, those who giggle in all directions, those who go to the market with their parents dressed as superheroes, or those who want to go to school below -5 degrees dressed in a little princess dress with straps BECAUSE IT HAS GLITTER! And for them, we want toys, costumes, and cool and original accessories. We love the color, the glitter, the quirky and the funky. The idea is to create beautiful products that parents love and that make our children dream, laugh and rave. We draw a lot from our memories to offer models that echo our own childhood: the cabins, the superhero costumes, the fairy capes, the animals, the dresses that turn and shine, all this brought up to date. Beauty and fun are really what drives us.
The Little Potion Co.- Once upon a time, There were two sisters who grew up dreaming of fairies, magical lands and mythical creatures. One day they grew up and lost their way, and all the magical creatures disappeared from their lives. As they grew older and had their own children they remembered the joy of childhood, of making mud pies and floral elixirs, fairy gardens and magical potions. They remembered how it felt to be a child, the frustrations and the emotions and the pure joy that magic brought with it through difficult times. They decided to try to bring the magic back, to themselves and to their children. So they worked away, way into the night while their children slept in their beds. They mixed ingredients and colours and scents. They wrote recipes and spells, rhymes and magical affirmations. They tested and re-wrote and tested some more. They wanted the spells to have meaning and purpose. They researched calming strategies for kids, mindfulness, visualisation, intention setting and affirmations, play based learning and nature play. They consulted experts and friends… …. Until one day, their potion kits were ready. Potion Kits full of magic, positivity, affirmations and fun. We hope you love them as much as we do. With lots of magic, Alicia and Jacinta.

Camp The Label- Hey there! We're the Bassos and we thought we'd share a little about who we are, what we do and most importantly, why we do it. For us, it all started in 2019 when Dean was diagnosed with neuroendocrine carcinoma, an aggressive form of cancer, found in his nasal cavity. It was in that time of seemingly never ending chemo / radiation treatments that we decided life was simply too fragile to not do the things we'd been dreaming about. One dinner conversation of committing one another to following their dreams and Camp The Label was born. Through our personal experience with cancer, our hearts have forever been changed and we pledge to donate 10% of our sales to families battling cancer. We hope that we can be a source of hope for anyone that needs it. If you know someone battling the disease please send us an email so that we can consider them for upcoming donations. Every sale means the world to us and we are truly so grateful that you're here. Xx The Bassos
Gunner & Lux- Riley loved to play dress up, accessorize, and find fashion inspiration at a very young age. During the summer of 2015, when Riley was just 5 years old she decided to use the vintage jewelry her dad John had collected for her to create her very first necklace. She learned how to use pliers, tweezers, and tie knots as she developed her own line of colorful, whimsical accessories. Riley and John worked on these necklaces together after dinner each night. Soon, Riley began selling her individual charms at her summer lemonade stand, then on her website, and before they both knew it…their jewelry was being sold in stores all around the world. Together, Riley and John have created something truly unique. Today, they hope their story and their designs inspire and bring smiles to those who START COLLECTING.

Wee Gallery- As a graphic designer (Surya) and teacher (Dave), we were fascinated by the idea of helping our baby’s brain develop by literally playing with visuals.

Pebble- Once upon a time, a young woman from the UK fell in love with a young man from Bangladesh. Eventually they moved to Bangladesh and had a baby.

She was deeply saddened when she discovered that many of these woman had babies back home in their villages, left for months at a time with grandparents while the mom worked in the city. Lack of rural employment for women was separating families and putting the mothers in harmful situations and the babies without their mothers. So this new mom did what she could. She gathered a few women around her and taught them how to knit and crochet little dollies that could be sold in the Western markets.

Now we are happy to say we are doing something we love and are passionate about toys and continuously learning more about how children interact with them.
Brass Tacks- Hello and Welcome! As a mom of 4 kids ages 11 to 1 I know it can be a struggle to keep our kids creating. The TV, Xbox, or other screen seems to be the easy way to pass some time. But I want to challenge you do do something FUN and CREATIVE with your kids. My hope is that we, at Brass Tacks, make it easy for you to have a fun, engaging, and creative activity and experience with the kids in your life.
Selfie Craft Co.- Fun, creative and learning in every colour in set! Welcome to Selfie Craft Co, a brand for creative kids who love to make. Gemma created her unique company, Selfie Craft whilst taking time out from her full time job to care for her two children. “The idea of colour in clothing came from my own boys, and their love for crafting. I wanted to extend the pride and sense of achievement they get from making things, and what better way is there than to allow them to wear what they have made!” says Gemma. It all started with the launch of their super soft jersey tops, hand printed to order with a variety of designs, that can be personalised, to include unicorns, dinosaurs and superheroes. On the back of this success the range was extended with the launch of colour-in pyjamas, hats and dress up capes. “We are constantly keeping a look out for new trends and themes. As we are a UK based company and design everything ourselves, we can be pretty responsive and regularly launch new designs,” says Gemma.
