Good Things

Why we do this

Good Things is a champion for choices that make a positive difference to people and planet.

Our mission

We seek out inspiring ethical and sustainable gifts that support charities, empower people and protect our planet. Then we make it easy for you to find them.

The problem

The lifestyles we lead are harming our home. Plastic is polluting both our land and seas; a shocking 91% of all plastic waste isn’t recycled. Our demands for goods at a cheap price means that the people around the world who make our products can be exploited and often work in unsafe conditions for very little money.

• Upcycled sari accessories empowering women survivors of trafficking
• Pens made from recycled single-use plastics that enable children go to school
• a wide range of goods made by Fair Trade enterprises providing decent work and reducing inequalities

So I had an idea: what if there was one place, bringing together fun and unusual gifts which support charities and social enterprises, are kind to the environment and fair for the people who make them? Gifts that make a positive difference.

At Good Things you’ll find inspiring ethical and sustainable gifts that support charities, empower people and protect our planet. Discover gifts for all ages and inspiring ideas like cards that plant trees, beautiful handmade wooden games providing good wages, healthcare, education and sanitation for artisans and their families in India, and pencils made from recycled CD cases. We want to make it easy for people to make choices that have a positive impact on the planet. We wrap these products up and send them out in reusable and recyclable packaging. Better still, we pledge 20% of any surplus made to charities doing good things too.

Opening times Monday to Saturday 11am – 6pm, Sunday 11am – 5pm
