  4. It is amazing how a small acorn can lead to a huge tree.   And one chance meeting can lead to a something which brings about lasting relationships which help everyone. 

    Let me tell you about Paper High because this chance meeting is how this company started.   From an acorn, Paper High has grown into a big tree.

    Paper High sell unusual products which have been skilfully crafted by artisans in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. 

    Paper High actually started when Mark and Claire (who are behind the company) went on a round-the-world trip.  The seed was sown as a result of a chance meeting with a paper maker which came about as an unexpected change in a destination, a longer stay in Kathmandu.   And now, Paper High work with a strong network of relationships with small family businesses, charities, community incentives and accredited Fair Trade organisations.  And everyone benefits. 

    All their products are hand made from sustainable materials which - wherever possible - have been recycled.

    A recycled Newspaper Photo Frame would be a very unusual gift to brighten up a room with!
    These are recycled newspaper photo frames.

    Some of these materials are unusual.   For example, how about a photo album which has been made mainly from elephant poo?  Or a photo frame which has been made from recycled newspapers? 

    How about a large Colourful Elephant Dung Notebook?

    They’ve got goodies made of recycled plastic, natural cork, recycled leather and recycled newspapers.  And of course elephant dung has gone through the elephant already.

    And items such as stationery, bags and accessories can be personalised so that there’s a lovely personal touch!  And they’ve got gift wraps and cards, too.

    This Makula Natural Mango Wood Bowl with Lid is just the thing for trinkets.
