This Friday is my least favourite day of the year. This Friday is my least favourite day of the year...Black Friday!😟

Every year the chaos of Black Friday descends causing lots of frantic and often needless spending – and even, disappointingly, violence. 

Have you heard of Green Friday💚? Green Friday is all about getting active and healthy, spending time with family and friends and giving, sharing and investing in good causes.  So why not join in us boycotting Black Friday? Here's 8 suggestions to help you do that:

1. Get outside in nature (I know, it looks cold and wet but it's never as bad when you're out there)
2. Spend time with friends and family
3. Do something nice for someone
4. Do something to support a charity or good cause. You could pop instore and put something in our food bank donation basket
5. Take time to create something. This could be as simple as baking a cake
6. Get active!
7. Invest in your health. Take some time for you, whether it be a walk, yoga or some meditation
8. Tell someone else about Green Friday and spread the word 😁

One of our favourite festive products are these reusable Christmas crackers from Keep This Cracker . This is our fourth year of having these crackers in store and they are always so popular. We are still using the ones we got three years ago but the beautiful designs tempt me every year to buy more. 

I love that you can fill them with your own treats and jokes (yes, last year I put jokes in them all😂) and you can even make your own paper hats it you're so inclined. They are stylish AND sustainable.
