Good fit. Feel good. Perfect thickness and definitely defend against thorns and sharp edged fronds. Especially good protecting my forearms from getting scratched. Almost look too nice for gardening!

Stylish and practical storage box

I decided to purchase this tool box to store my oil paints - perhaps not the cheapest storage solution - but I wanted something robust that could be locked if needed, with a padlock. I really like the vivid blue colour of the box - it’s a pleasure to use.

Fab little milk pot!

Such a great price for this wee pot and it was better than I expected. Perfect size for small servings of oats over winter. I chose pick up because I was going to be in the area and it was easy and hassle free. This store has so many beautiful items and customer service is excellent, that’s always a big thing for me. Thankyou Waste Free Home!

Left Handed Bread Knife

When I saw there was a left handed bread knife, I knew I’d found the perfect gift for my mother who is making her own sourdough. She just loved it. Thank you!
