Handmade craft kits for children
(22/08/2008)

Boutiko has added a range of handmade craft kits for children designed by Karen Lewis. These kits are not only fun and pretty but also ethical, packaged in convenient recyclable “take away” boxes and suitable for young children.

There are three kits to choose from, all using felt and with two craft options – glue for smaller children and embroidery thread for the older, more confident child. The Felt Flowers kit makes two pretty flower brooches, the Egg Cosy Kit two egg covers and the Hanging Heart kit a door hanger every girl’s bedroom would be proud to sport.

All kits come with full instructions and ideas for patterns and make excellent gifts or party bag treats. Gift wrapping at Boutiko is free of charge and orders can be despatched for next day delivery – perfect for last minute emergency gifts or even an impulse buy.

Boutiko’s founder Tara Leaver said: “We make sure that everything Boutiko offers the public comes from a good place; it might be made from recycled materials or organic ingredients; it might be fairly traded or locally produced (everything is easily identifiable with our handy key). So you buy a beautiful gift, shop with a clear conscience, benefit the producers directly and everyone is happy!”

Boutiko’s other main priority is its personal service, particularly in the often impersonal medium of internet shopping, and feedback from customers is encouraged. Not only this but Boutiko really is mad about the gift business – a handy “how to find the perfect gift” section on the site is full of inspiration and the regular newsletter a godsend for perplexed present shoppers.
