Borrow and Nest

Borrow and Nest is a more sustainable solution to playrooms full of unloved toys.

 

We all know how quickly children can lose interest in or outgrow last week's favourite toy, and then there's trying to find somewhere to store it! With children, parents, and the planet in mind, subscribers can borrow and swap from a curated collection of high-end wooden toys without cluttering their homes and contributing to plastic waste.

  

Monthly subscribers have the freedom to choose which two toys they'd like to borrow at a time, and for how long. Borrow and swap plastic-free toys from favourite brands including MinMin Copenhagen, Wee Gallery, Goki and Bezisa. Children can play with toys until they no longer have a place in their home and then swap them with ones that do.

 

Borrowing instead of buying new helps to encourage a circular economy, reduce plastic consumption, extend the toy's lifecycle and reduce the number of unwanted toys ending up in landfill. Research also shows that fewer toys can help develop imagination, concentration and patience. It's a cost-effective way of following your child's developmental stages of play, and there is less to tidy up at the end of the day! We hope to normalise secondhand toys by teaching children about the importance of sharing and a sustainable culture. Our toys are preloved but create brand new memories wherever they go!

All of our toys are thoroughly inspected and cleaned in-between customers before being delivered in plastic-free packaging. Based in Sheffield we deliver nationwide and offer free drop offs and collections for customers local to the S7 area. We also sell gift cards, perfect for new parents and special occasions!
