About Us

The concept of Boxes and Bags of Fun was created by the proprietor, Deborah Blake, after years of experience as a parent and a childminder. She recognised the importance of creative and imaginative play in the development of children particularly when sharing time with friends, parents or grandparents. This has been has been important when selecting products for her shop. Deborah also believes that customer service and product knowledge are really important and this is what helps a small local family business stand out from their high street competition.

At Boxes and Bags of Fun you will find something for all ages from birth to teens.

Deborah is keen to point out that boxes and bags of fun is not your typical toy shop. You will find many items not readily available in high street stores. There is also a strong emphasis on creative learning while having fun plus a large selection of activity based kits which contain everything thing you need to complete a task. So if creative ideas are not your strong point the kits here can help you complete anything from an eco-friendly cardboard castle to a sewing project of a very cute family of cats. One unique point about the shop is that many of the products are out on tables for you and your children to try before buying.

Another service which is offered by Boxes and Bags of Fun is advice for childrens parties and other events as well as tableware, activities and gifts. On the website there is a party planner and themed ideas which are FREE to download with ideas children will love, from treasure hunts and pirate parties to making their own Teddy Bear  there is something to suit every child. Boxes and Bags of Fun prides itself on being able to offer you help, advice, supplies and ideas to make a fabulous party for your child.
