Product Updates

The Product Team has faced many challenges this season, with transport and supply chain; we are not immune to what is happening across the world with supply chain issues and then the impact of Brexit and Covid.

Cardboard – Due to lack of cardboard, prices have increased significantly and the lack of supply has meant we have not been able to print as many Christmas

Tree Biscuit packs as we would have hoped. You can find these morish biscuits in our hampers. VEGAN

RECYCLABLE COMPOSTABLE BIODEGRADABLE DAIRY FREE

DAIRY Supply Chain Issues – The procuring of raw ingredients has been a challenge for ourselves and for our manufacturers who VEGETARIAN FREE buy ingredients for our products. We are looking for often Fairtrade-certified and Organic supply chains, which narrows the supply that we can choose from.

VEGANTransport – We have faced times where stock has been ready to leave, but we have not been able to get a lorry to pick up the products due to there being a lack of drivers, also sending the price double to get products into the UK.

This will continue to impact us into 2022, but we are doing what we can to mitigate against the issues we face with getting our wonderful Traidcraft products into your baskets.

New Products – Landed Just in Time for Christmas!

Christmas Dates – Great news, Zaytoun have launched a gift box of our favourite medjoul dates – perfectly sized to slip into a stocking! Get yours now.

Just a note to say…

We never buy products to put into a sale – that would go against all that we stand for. We select products in the hope that they will sell throughout the whole season, and sometimes, this means we sell out early. We do top up on stock levels wherever possible, but sometimes the lead time to get to us, amidst other complications, is just unviable. We know this can be disappointing, which is why we always advise to buy sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. Additionally, with the COVID and Brexit challenges of the year, we just can’t get enough of some products (and a few are arriving late/have arrived late!) to keep them in stock until the end of the season. In these cases, rather than cutting ties and not support the producers, we made the decision to continue to support as widely as possible. Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support. Nablus Soap – due to the success of the Nablus soaps, we’ve added two new scents to the popular range. Perfect for gifting, you’ll find sage and honey scented Palestinian soaps available to buy now.

Organic King Coconut Water

Our 100% natural, Organic King Coconut Water comes in glass bottles. Since arriving into our warehouse, we have had concerns that a single bottle (350ml) was at risk of breaking during shipping, which is why we’ve turned these into four packs – which can be packaged together safely and secure. There will be a 12 pack case available to buy from the end of November. 10719 (4x350ml) £9.60
