Hampers Everywhere!

Christmas time is always a blast, and that blast nearly knocks us off our feet as we have to work extra hard and make every sale count. The Rainbow Turtle shop is always at its busiest each Christmas, and many Christmas Fayre sales and hampers leave the warehouse during this time.

A special note to thank all our volunteers for their hard work, particularly during the recent busy time of the year.

After returning from the seasonal break, we could be forgiven for assuming that things would be quiet, as frosty January usually is, however, we had an incredible order for a whole heap of hampers to work on!

An order was made for 23 corporate ethical hampers just towards the end of the year, for shipping in January. The hampers were a unique value and size, and so we had to quickly source hamper baskets and shipping boxes to make the order.

We sourced the baskets from Craft Romania And Fair Trade who Import willow and wooden products from Romanian villages on ethical and fair trade terms.

Many thanks to Craft Romania And Fair Trade, to Oxfam for requesting the order, and to all the producers who working hard all year round; something that reminds us that we all need to work a little harder to help make everything fair.
