With Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM) edging closer, inboxes are already filling up with offers and price drops. This time of year has become synonymous with deep discounts and shopping frenzies, encouraging impulse buys. At Party Without Plastic® we’re proud to do things differently. We believe in celebrating joyfully, sustainably, and ethically - every day of the year.

WHY NO DISCOUNTS?
Our marketplace brings together UK-based, small, family-run businesses and solopreneurs who handcraft their items with care. We don’t discount because our prices are already fair, reflecting the true cost and value of handmade, planet-friendly party supplies. Instead of racing to the bottom on price, we focus on:
  • Supporting real makers: Every purchase helps a small UK business thrive.
  • Transparency: We’re open about what goes into our products – and what doesn’t. No fudging or  greenwashing , just hard lines we hold ourselves accountable to.
  • Genuine sustainability: Our strict material criteria mean never compromising or worrying about hidden plastics or misleading claims.
  • Fair pricing: Our sellers set their own prices, reflecting the real value of ethical, handmade party supplies.
BLACK FRIDAY AT PARTY WITHOUT PLASTIC®: WHAT TO EXPECT
This Black Friday, we’re celebrating the people and products that make sustainable parties possible. Instead of discounts, we’ll be shining a spotlight on our UK makers and their wonderful products.

Through our annual donation to Better Planet Education via the Work for Good initiative, your orders will also help inspire the next generation of eco-champions.

HOW YOU CAN JOIN IN 
We invite you to discover the real impact of your choices and help keep single-use plastic out of celebrations and our environment through:
