Everything in our kits is biodegradable and/or compostable, using natural materials like wood, coconut, shells and found objects. We use ingredients with as little processing interference as possible. Friendly for the Earth and for your little ones!
Our Goodnight Fairies come with a tiny jar full of real fairy wishes! Collected with the blessing and assistance of local Tasmanian fairy folk.
The Goodnight Fairy sits guard by bedsides, making sure that dreams stay sweet!
She comes with her very own velvet pouch.
We designed these fairies to help take some of the fear out of night time. Night doesn’t have to be scary - it’s just different 🌟
Sunny winter afternoon are one of my favourite Tasmanian treats 🌼

Highly recommend a botanical bath and candle lighting to mark the winter solstice. Creating family rituals to mark the patterns of the earth’s movements builds connection, relationships and a sense of belonging.

Each doll is individually hand-painted with non-toxic paint. Great for either play or display.
I have felt overwhelmed and grief-stricken by what I’ve been seeing happen to our fellow humans. I’ve felt helpless … so this is my small effort in making some kind of difference.

Introducing the Sweet Dreams Fairy 🧚♀️
Whisper your worries and wishes to her at bedtime and she’ll transmute them into the sweetest of dreams! ✨
Includes purple velvet pouch to keep her safe and for easy transportation 💜
Excellent resources, highly recommended! I’ve used these at home, in teaching and in therapeutic work.
A sweet little one-of-a-kind set to get started with botanical fizz magic.
Includes:
- Mini sachet of Playful Purple botanical fizz (made with butterfly pea powder and corn flowers).
- Lavender wand, handmade by a young local entrepreneur, using lavender stems and ribbon.
- Vintage bowl.
Our vintage accessories are carefully selected from a range of sources. We love vintage because it aligns with our environmental ethos (minimal impact!), as well as our love of treasure hunting adventures.
Bye bye forest folk 🥹
We have some new pieces in development and a bit of a shift in direction because, frankly, the market is saturated and that’s not sparking joy!
Think a nature-focused and a vintage/upcycled vibe, with a shift towards children 5 and over.
The whimsy will always remain 💛
ps I will always still make these for friends and family, because I genuinely love them!
Throwback Thursday!
We’ve always loved a fairy toadstool at Lulu and Me! 🍄 🍄🍄

Sugar free, environmentally conscious Easter gifts 🐣
Keeping it simple this year with these sweet little $5 packs.
Includes:
Easter egg fizz bomb, gloriously scented with chocolate mint grown in our garden
Wooden spoon
Bunny hessian gift bag.
Plastic free, no artificial colours or fragrances.
Fizz bomb packaging is eucalyptus-based cellophane.
Our botanical bubbly fizz powders are all natural and non-toxic. pH tested to be safe for small hands.
We never, ever use food dyes. Did you know
most food dyes are made from petroleum? Not nice for our young people, and especially nasty for our environment. Food dyes are also linked to adverse immune response and behavioural effects.
We use only botanical products for colour and scent, such as strawberry, beetroot, spirulina and safflower.

Model a preferred sensory activity through parallel play with your young person 💛
And we can calm together!
Yesterday, Lulu felt a bit down after all the festive excitement. And I felt scattered and unsettled. So, we grabbed our Lulu and Me play dough and just quietly rolled it around, side by side with each other. The change I felt in myself and saw in him was almost instant 💛
Quote of the Day
Sensory play is a great way to connect and create a sense of emotional safety 💛
