Red Beau

Hi I’m Danielle and I run a small business called Red Beau providing plastic free alternatives to party bag toys.

When my children were little and invited to a lot of birthday parties, I noticed that they usually received the same plastic whistles, stretchy men and bubbles in their party bags which cluttered up the house and only held their attention for a few minutes. That’s a lot of plastic waste for a few minutes of fun! (I’m not judging, I was that parent once too).

I spoke to other busy parents and discovered that they wanted to make better eco choices too.

I knew I could help, so I made use of my degree in design and started to manufacture craft kits using compostable materials and packaging. They had to be fun for the children to make, but also to play with afterwards.

Everything is made on our farm on the Lancashire/Cumbria border, and I love it!
