The Home and Hearth Box
You could sit down with the perfect cup of tea from Good & Proper Tea and pair it with some toast and strawberry jam from our own Different Made range. Maybe you could come in from gardening and have a meditative time cleaning the mud from your hands with the pleasingly carved oak nail brush from Iris Hantverk before drying them off with a crisp cotton tea towel from The Clink. You could steal a piece of Different Made chocolate honeycomb every time you pass the drawer. You could settle down for the evening with an amber beeswax candle from Camphill Village Trust burning in a handmade holder from Studio 306 Collective.
These are small wonders, but ones that you can access every day.
Different Made is our own brand where we collaborate with small organisations who have a social impact. For our range of jams, pickles and chutneys we approached Aunty Val’s Ability Centre who designed their organisation to give people with disabilities the opportunity to work. For our vegan-friendly chocolate honeycomb, we worked with Grace Chocolates who help women who have been touched by the justice system rebuild their lives.
