A Bag Fit for a King

Friday, June 17th, 2011

If Kate and William are suffering from ‘post-nuptial depression’ (PND) – a recognised condition would you believe?! – they can take comfort from the fact that there are many fabulous lightweight shopper bags, emblazoned with their  happy faces, now decorating our streets.

While most plastic bags are used on average for 20 minutes, we hope that Kate takes the lead in using one of her  handy, reusable shopper bags (we saw ones made from 100% woven or non-woven polypropelene) on her next trip for a mooch around the shops to give her a constant reminder of her happy day.

We know William and Kate are into recycling as Kate wears Diana’s engagement ring, so we look forward to  seeing them embrace reusable bags and consign the plastic bag to the bin of eternity.

For more information on ordering reusable shopping bags, contact leanne@smartabags.co.uk or visit  www.smartbags.co.uk.

Lovely fair trade soapstone

Here at Fairwind we have some great new colourful ranges to tempt you as spring approcahes. And this spring the focus is on soapstone – that wonderfully tactile and incredibly versatile natural material that makes a great gift for men and women, young and old.

Check out our soapstone home decorative gifts where you will find these fun hippos, as well as cats and hearts. They are available in 5 colours and prices start at £5.50.

From bookends to paperweights and tea light holders, soapstone can be coloured and carved into pretty much anything. It is beautiful and so lovely to touch!

   

More new goodies at Fairwind

Our other new goodies this spring include cat and owl doorstops from India. These cute, hand-embroidered animals are perfect gifts for Mother’s Day. And at only £20, these “house pets” are a bargain.

GREAT NEW LINES COMING TO GBUK

SOCKS (Medical)

We are so excited about our new lines and have just taken sole distribution rights in the UK and parts of Europe for the Lindner Diabetic, antibacterial and DVT Flight socks all made from natural recyclable materials. These are from world renowned Lindner group who have been established since 1923 and still produce in Germany at a quality not surpassed by any other manufacturer. These “Silversoft” socks are so advanced in textile engineering and designed specifically for purpose with silver and zinc cleverly impregnated into the natural fibre. All having the benefit of reducing the sweat, odour and allowing the feet to breathe in fantastic comfort. Great for people with sensitive skin, and besides the specific designed benefits they have been tested, approved and documented by the medical profession.
 
BLUE RANGE

“BlueWish” Kitchen cloth a true antibacterial cloth for the kitchen with impregnated silver Ions that kill the bacteria you are cleaning, continuing to kill the bacteria on the cloth, so not only safe but no more cloth odours, utilising the now world patent “smartcel”. We speak from experience as we have tested it personally and it works…….
 
“Silver Ion Ball” for the washing machine. This has been tested and designed over the last two years and is unique. Releasing silver Ions during your wash impregnating all your clothes with natures own natural antibacterial compound that has been used for centuries it has been specially designed to release the right amount during each wash…… making all your clothes smell fresh….

“Blue Fresh” – a cloth that when made damp and wiped under your arms, removes all the bacteria that produces body odour, again using the “smartcel” bio-active technology impregnated with silver ions lasting all day, this is a great innovation in a natural hygiene with many uses, from personal use to hospitals, care homes, etc. No need for Deodorants, great for people with sensitive skin, just simply natural….. 

“SeaWash” Lines – to many to mention now but to include a shower gel and SeaWash massage glove. This technology is so new and again a world patent pending. This has seaweed incorporated in the natural structure of the fibre and has so many natural benefits that is known throughout scientific industry. Seaweed Algae has health promoting benefits, including 
  • cell stimulation of skin circulation,
  • anti inflammatory and itch-relieving effects,
  • assists in the treatment of neurodermatitus, psoriasis and other skin conditions
  • keeps the skin fresh and smooth
The clever part is how they have got all this into the fibre in the SeaWash products and the ultimate proof is it has the award of the “EU Eco Label” (the new Euro Green Flower, policing natural genuine products) and for the fibre, “Oeko-Tex standard 100” certification.
 
There is so much more information and certificates on the capabilities of these new products we are pleased to say, but to much for now, however, we will put up the wealth of information we have on our product info page on the launch day.
………….All the new products will be launched in the New Year
