There is no need to buy mass-produced plastic toys and dolls for children.

Best Years – which specialises in ‘soft toys with a difference’ – has an ethical section on its website, stocking, for example, Fairtrade handmade knitted llamas that are produced by women in Huancavelica, one of the poorest areas of Peru.

Its links to sustainability enterprises in the South American country also provide other handmade textile toys and dolls from there, and it sources organic cotton comforters and toys from a social enterprise in Egypt.

The company also sells Christmas decorations and stockings, which are handmade in Nepal using locally produced felt.
