Yarn. I crochet a lot and it can be so expensive, but I've been pleasantly surprised at the quality of their yarn.

Why?

Oh goody - another thread celebrating the fruits of human misery. 🙄 Whatever you might buy, you are supporting modern day slavery. So do the right thing and don’t buy anything from cheap Chinese websites.

velvet ribbon . For Christmas crafting. Ribbon can be bloody expensive but I got loads, great colours and good quality for not much at all.

the paper crafting things like embellishments, backing papers, ribbons, etc are amazingly cheap and very original designs too. so much cheaper than other papercraft sites

Do you have an iPhone? Shop in primark/H&M/new look? If so I’d get off your high horse.

Because you have no right to comment on the ethics of Temu unless you are living in a cave and knitting your own clothes from nettles?

What a load of rubbish.

I reluctantly bought a few things from Temu after seeing a girl wearing the most fab trousers, she told me they were from Temu. I said In was reluctant to order from them. She convinced me that they are very cheap, and a lot of things are good a few not so good. If you order an item from the local warehouse, they charge £2 postage if you several things from the local one you will be charged £2 for each item. I don’t know why you are not able to get everything from the main warehouse as if you spend £35 it’s free postage..

I bought a “Blissy” wash cloth affair for the shower/bath.
It’s so much easier to clean my back, and afterwards, my back feels really smooth and cleansed.
The price I paid was much lower than the Blissy site, and the cloth that came from TEMU was in a ziplock bag that had the Blissy name on it.

You really need to look at the description of TEMU stuff, especially sizing.
It would seem some people order thinking they will receive a much larger item than they get, but they said they didn’t read the sizing.
it’s useful too, to read past buyers comments on the item you want to buy.
EG if you are a size 10-12, a commenter might say that they found the clothing true to size, or they might say they should’ve gone one size up or down.

I don't buy from Temu but have bought lots from Tiktok shop, I do adult colouring & have bought the most beautiful glitter & metallic gel pens, loads of storage for the kitchen, bundles of branded cleaning products, a Minky dupe of the Joseph Joseph washing up bowl, Pyrex type glass food storage containers, saved loads on Ninja products, a Gtech hoover, Wonderskin cosmetics, Korean skincare. If I need to buy anything I always check if the brand has a Tiktok shop because you can save loads with special offers or coupons.

@Ozzwaldo
Temu do not have a UK warehouse, if you click on seller it is an independent U.K. seller shipping direct to you, they are using Temu the way Amazon operates.
This is why the blanket it’s all made by slaves in China doenst apply anymore.
Theres plenty of recognisable UK companies now selling on Temu.

They all have to abide by ethical trading laws. Temu and Shein just use workers with no employment rights or human dignity. And there is no audit on environmental impact. But you just crack on not giving a shit…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I wonder what dyes were used to make the trousers and if they are safe and legal?

Post it notes - I use loads at work and it has saved a ton!

Any party decorations, kids colouring / stickers / crafts / hair accessories for DD as she goes through them like they’re single use items.
