Having your period isn’t fun and that’s why I’m so happy that I’ve found this lovely little company called The treat trove, and it’s not only because they sell amazing Cloth sanitary pads, cups and awesome sea sponges (I highly recommend you to try sea sponges if you don’t want to use the chemical filled disposable tampons) it’s because of their awesome treat boxes that you can buy on a monthly basis. They always contain a few cloth pads and some other Lovely WAHM made goodies, chocolate, and soap, wax melts and Candles. I’ve also had one box with a wish bracelet and some bling for my phone all hand made with love from some amazing work at home women. I’ve received two boxes and I cannot wait to order my next one......
(This was Julys box and I loved it pads where from NGOZI sews and the liners from muff fluff whom I’ve never tried before really loved, there was also a little bath bomb (my husband thought it was a cake) , wax melt, chocolate , a wish bracelet and some phone bling.)
The treat trove is a small company run by women for women ( they have however done a fathers day treat box as well) , even thought my husband used the soap I received in my first ever treat box and we also use the wax melt together. I was happily surprised when I received my first box as it was all lovely well made things in it and well worth the price of the box. They have period boxes, sweet boxes a few different gift boxes like a teen box, postpartum box and a hug in a box. They also havelots of pads and accessories that you might need for your personal hygiene as a woman.
(Above are my very first treat box two
Amazing pads, soap, wax melt, a little mirror , a small wet bag and choclate.)
Have you run out of Christmas ideas for mum, Nan, aunty and maybe your teenage daughter? Fear no more the Treat Trove is doing a Christmas box this year as well. I can’t wait to order one, and a really of course their sweet box which I haven’t yet had the chance to try. (My husband has said he’ll order one for me next month as I deserve some pampering apparently, so I’ll let you all know how it was with pictures of all the sweets of course)
Most women don’t talk about the pain or the bleeding you have after your babies been born, but you will be in pain or feel uncomfortable at least I was in quite a lot of pain after my last pregnancy. The treat trove has got a solution that might help the new mum feel a bit better after a pregnancy when your babies born and that is by coming up with a lovely post partum box. I haven’t had the chance to try nor will try as I’m not having another baby. If I’d known about them when I was pregnant I would have ordered a box. So I might order one as a treat to my pregnant friend once baby has arrived or when it’s nearer her due date, as a little friendly gift.
I first heard about the treat trove through a Facebook group dedicated to work at home mums which is a really lovely Group, in which you can get some great ideas for presents and other little treats to your near and dear ones. I also love to support the small businesses and what’s even better is that you always get unique things which are made with love and dedication, some say that they are a bit more expensive to buy from than the local high street shops, which they are if you see to the really cheap stores I will not mention any names but you know what once I’m talking about. The small businesses cannot compete with the mass produced things you can buy in a bigger high street shop, but you know that everything is humanely done and that the person that’s made your item has put their heart and soul in to your custom made object if you buy from a WAHM or other small family business. Everything is one of a kind in one way or another when you buy from a WAHM. I’m a student mum with two children and I can afford to buy WAHM made things with a bit of budgeting and time planning, so why shouldn’t you be able to do the same? My husband has been unemployed for a few years and is now himself a college student so we’ve been forced to turn every penny for years, and I’ve become an excellent planner and budgeter.
One way for me to not only save money but to also help the environment was to not use disposable nappies on my Children or disposable sanitary products on myself and that’s how I even got in touch with the WAHM community in the UK at all one thing lead to another.
The treat trove is a small business that are Selling Amazing Products for women such as different brands of CSPS all Lovely hand made with love from different women round England, some of the makers are:
MUFF FLUFF- TCS ECO- NGOZI SEW- HUGGALLY WUGGALLY- AUNT IRMA's - CHUBBY JOES BUMBLEBEES- BEAU BESPOKE- SECRETS CLOTHPADS – HONOUR YOUR FLOW- ECO RAINBOW
As you can see there are quite a few options of makers and they are all lovely (I’ve got most of them and my plan is to try them all), so I’m certain you’ll find your favourite amongst them all. If you never tried cloth but are curious then I’d like to say please try them you will not go back once you’ve found your favourites. Don’t be put off by your friends and family that tells you they would never use them or if the first pads don't work, try a different maker or ask the one you bought from if they perhaps could adjust them to your preferences sometimes that’s possible as well.
I had plans to add some useful information in this post about reusable sanitary Products, (I know I’ve written a post before about this as well before but it never hurts to redo another one with more information. But I thought that it was more fitting to do a completely new post about this later on, so in my next post I'll add some facts and information about cloth, and also some comments from a Lovely community of cloth addicts. (The treat trove has got a lovely little chat group as well where you can get lots of help if you ask)
Please let me know if you have any questions you would like answered I'll try to answer them to me best abilities.
You can find the treat trove and try all the goodies for yourself on either
http://thetreattrove.co.uk/products
Or on facebook The treat trove
I have not been asked to write any of this
as you know if I find something I believe is great then I’ll write about it, I’d
never write anything if I didn’t believe in the Products even if I got asked to
do so.
My plan is to write a Little Review about all the boxes i get home after everyone thats ordered one has recived their box, as it might be fun to see how different all the boxes can be.
