Friday 19th: Bee bombs – Buy 1 Get 1 Half Price

Saturday 20th: Biodegradable Glitter – Buy 2 = 5% Off, Buy 3 = 10% off
Did you know that normal glitter is made from plastic? Every time you drop glitter, you are putting tiny pieces of plastic everywhere? Biodegradable glitter is all the rage this year! Perfect for festivals or parties, or even just to feel sparkly.
Sunday 21st: Buy a L&J bottle, get the Ecococonut bottle brush half price
Buy new water bottles every time you go out and about? Not only is this bad for environment, and can get pricey, but it’s also bad for your health. The plastic in the disposable bottles is not designed to be used more than once. After time, the chemicals in the plastic are released into the water and you drink them. Now that its sunny, this process of chemical release is quickened due to the sun reacting with the plastic. All this can be avoided with taking a reusable bottle with you and refilling.
Why pay for water if you get it on tap for free? (if you think bottled water is better for you, watch ‘The Honest Supermarket’ on BBC iPlayer and you’ll be surprised).
