Eco-friendly
Everything in this category is sensitive to the needs of the natural world. All these products are made using sustainable resources, use green energy sources, such as sun or wind, or reduce resources consumed.
Educational
Our future depends on us having bright, healthy children and grandchildren. That is why we, at Yourtomorrow, are encouraging educational gifts that not only entertain children, but also help them to develop skills and expertise. Toys and products in this category help develop mathematical, logical, musical or technical skills or make children aware of nature, other cultures or environmental needs.
Fair trade
Certified to meet Fair Trade principles such as IFAT. These include fair wages, gender equity, a safe and healthy working environment, dealing fairly and respectfully with commercial partners, establishing independence and the payment of an equitable fair price.
Helping developing countries
We provide a means by which communities and companies in the developing world can sell into prosperous countries and thus share in their affluence. Big retailers are only interested in buying big quantities, but there is an urgent need for smaller units to be able to supply lower quantities.
Local products
Did you know that lots of foodstuffs have travelled from near your home to a depot at the other end of the country and then back to your local supermarket? This is what the economics of scale result in; ridiculous isn´t it? This category encourages us to buy locally produced products or at least to ensure that goods are only transported the minimum distance necessary.
Natural
We guarantee that products appearing in this category have not been tested on animals, do not contain artificially produced chemicals and have clear labels listing ingredients (either on the packaging or on our website).
Recycled
Recycled gifts use materials and components that would otherwise be thrown away. What would have contributed to pollution and other environmental problems is turned into something attractive and useful.
Small businesses
We provide an outlet for individuals and families who use their considerable and diverse skills to make goods. We believe that the internet provides the opportunity for small businesses to sell unique, high quality products and for customers to reap the benefit by being offered a much wider range of choice than that available in the humdrum High Streets of Britain.
