At Feather and Twigs, we’re always on the lookout for makers who blend heart, heritage, ethics and a healthy dose of joy—and Best Years fits that bill beautifully. With over a decade of experience in crafting toys that are as ethical as they are enchanting, Best Years has earned a beloved place in the world of play.
Best known as the first to introduce knitted dinosaur toys to the world (yes, really!), Best Years has since built a delightful collection of knitted and crochet toys, perfect for every age—from tiny fingers to dinosaur-loving grown-ups. Their pieces are irresistibly charming, but what truly sets them apart is the story behind each one.
Founded by a team of parents who wanted an alternative to mass-produced soft toys, Best Years is rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship and conscious sourcing. Their toys are lovingly created in partnership with trusted factories and through long-standing collaborations—like their ten-year relationship with Pebble’s fair trade cooperatives in rural communities, which has helped support thousands of fairly paid and flexible jobs for local women.
As their collection has grown, so too has their commitment to natural and sustainable materials. From organic cotton cuddle companions to handmade natural rubber teethers and fair trade wooden toys, Best Years continues to lead with integrity and imagination.
Safety is never an afterthought. Every toy meets CE and UKCA standards, is machine washable, and designed with care—no bead eyes, no shortcuts. Because for Best Years, toys should be as safe and dependable as they are magical.
We’re thrilled to welcome Best Years to our Feather and Twigs family. Their creations aren’t just toys—they’re companions for childhood, steeped in meaning and made to last.
The buzz is building, and Croston is ready for one of its most cherished days of the year—Coffee Day, always held on the first Saturday in July.
At its heart, Coffee Day is a Procession of Witness—a beautiful tradition that brings together members of all three principal faiths in the village. It’s a time for reflection, unity, and celebration, and for many in Croston, a chance to reconnect with neighbours and friends, including those who’ve...
At Feather and Twigs, we’ve always believed in celebrating the makers and growers behind the scenes—the hands that nurture, the minds that dream, and the hearts that care. One of those quiet cornerstones is Lyndene, a traditional market garden nestled in Tarleton, Lancashire. Their ethos? Keep it seasonal. Keep it local. Keep it grounded. And we love them for it. Lyndene supplies us with fresh flowers on an ad-hoc basis, depending on the season’s rhythm and the glasshouse glow
We’re thrilled to welcome the freshest wave of coastal cool to Feather and Twigs—straight from the shores of Cornwall.
Born from salty skin and sandy toes, this Cornish studio lives and breathes the ocean. Raised beside the sea, the team behind the brand are wild swimmers, wave chasers, and all-round cold-water enthusiasts with a deep-rooted love for the outdoors. Salt and sand isn’t just a weekend plan—it’s in their blood.
