SHOWER BLOCKS
Frustrated about the amount of shower gel bottles he was getting through, Founder Neil Whippey tried several plastic free products but struggled to find one that he was happy with. They were either drying on the skin or far too expensive to consider for regular usage.
Over the course of the next 9 months (the 2020 UK lockdown really accelerated things), Neil taught himself to make cosmetics from scratch and set about creating Shower Blocks.
Close to 200 million shower gel bottles are purchased in the UK annually, with around 82 million of those not being recycled. That's not even counting the amount of separate shampoo and conditioner bottles!
Since then Shower Blocks has come up with more exciting innovations, expanding from solid shower gels to solid shampoos and hand bars too.
Neil works tirelessly to help save the planet and in Autumn 2022 set up an outdoor shower and swapped out hot water for freezing cold! The blocks still bubble up amazingly and he's LOVING the outdoor life!
We've worked with Neil from the very start of his journey, and have loved being a part of his story. He regularly pops samples in the post for us to test - a bit of a perk of the job (though it is hard for me to be persuaded away from my favourite Mint & Grapefruit!). Lots of exciting things to come from Shower Blocks - watch this space!

I bought some lovely pressies for my nieces. Great selection, fair priced and good to know ethically sourced.
Had a good experience from this independent retailer. Straightforward purchasing, prompt delivery, and all items were beautifully and sustainably gift wrapped. Will be using them again!
I purchased a few gifts for a friend who had just had a baby. I bought her newborn the Baby Threads Bunny Comforter and the Bird & Kitten Teethers. I also bought the Panda Organic Bath Mitt for the baby's big brother. The gifts arrived promptly, were beautiful and of great quality. My friend loved them. My kids are all grown up but I will be back as soon as I have any grandchildren!
Can’t express enough the quality of the baskets I ordered. Excellent communication and delivery. Won’t hesitate to order other items.
