Skin needing a boost now the weather has turned colder?
Why not try one of these Kutis body butters?
They're plastic free, made from natural ingredients, vegan, cruelty free and would also make a lovely gift!
There's even a naked body butter for those with very sensitive skin or whom prefer unscented.

Getting stuff repaired for free, reducing waste plus tasty coffee & cakes...
Whats not to love about that?! ❤️

We’re taking the Repair Cafe on the road!

Tomorrow, you’ll find some of the Blyde Welcome team at Clickimin for the Shetland Climate Festival 2026, and we’re bringing our Repair Cafe with us!

If you’ve got something that needs a little TLC, bring it along and see if our brilliant repair team can help give it a new lease of life. Whether it’s a favourite piece of clothing that needs mending or something you’ve been meaning to get fixed for ages, we’d love to see it.

And, because it wouldn’t be Blyde Welcome without something tasty nearby, we’ll also have a selection of home-bakes and drinks to keep everyone fuelled while they explore the festival.

It should be a lovely day celebrating all the small, practical ways we can waste a little less, reuse a little more and look after the place we call home.

We’ll be there from 10.00am - 4.00pm so come and say hello, and don’t forget to bring something for us to mend!

Have you tried any of the award winning zero waste Kutis deodorant range?
These handpoured deodorant sticks are handpoured in Wales, only contain natural ingredients and are completely plastic free!
They are of course vegan and cruelty free also! 🐇

Why choose a natural deodorant?... there's a few reasons!

🌿 No aerosols!
🌿 plastic free = no waste
🌿 No aluminium or other chemical nasties
🌿 Doesn't block skin pores
Our bodies are designed to sweat to regulate temperature and get rid of toxins so natural deodorants trap & neutralise the bacteria that causes odour instead of blocking sweat glands
