PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
You know we love plants, right? And you know we own about four million of them? And you know we also love anything that is vaguely plant related, that we can buy to put our plants in/water our plants with/hang on our walls to remind us how much we love plants?
You also know how much we love to support other small businesses?
Well then you can probably imagine quite how excited we were when we first saw these. These, fellow plant lovers, are cute, miniature animals that live in your plants. We know! Our plants are now covered in them.
They're made by a lovely small business, Another Studio, based in South London (just down the road from where we lived before we moved to Suffolk in fact), who specialise in making stylish, quirky gifts, often from metal. They're mostly a girl gang too. We really love them and everything they do.
There are several different animals to choose from including a sloth, an orangutan, a spider monkey, a koala bear, a very mischievous looking flying squirrel, an even more mischievous looking meerkat, a snake, a praying mantis, a frog and our favourite, the chameleon. They are made from etched brass and whilst they vary in size slightly, they are all roughly 6-8cm long. We think all plants need a plant animal buddy. Or three.

BUT WHO ARE WE?
Albert & Moo was set up in 2017 by Lianne Westwood after more than a decade working for numerous other E-commerce brands and retailers (including a four year stint at Amazon UK). In 2016 she did an interior design diploma, thinking she wanted a career change, but instead she had an idea for her very own website blending her knowledge of retail, her love of interiors and a passion to support small, independent brands. A year later Albert & Moo was born. It was named after her (at the time) pet bearded dragons, Albi and Mooli.
Now in its ninth year, and following a relocation from London to Suffolk, Albert & Moo is still run by Lianne, but she sometimes has help from her five year old daughter (who says she wants to be a shopkeeper when she grows up. Or failing that, the Easter Bunny...), and her love of interiors has spread to include all things plants and gardening.
All orders are packed by Lianne herself from her garden studio and are plastic free (unless reusing the bubble wrap stock arrives in). She is eternally grateful for every single order. Genuinely, thank you.
WHY SHOP SMALL?
You've heard the saying about small business owners doing a happy dance every time they get an order. It's true! Every order we recieve genuinely puts a smile on our face and we pack your order with much love and attention.
There's also a statistic about how more of your money goes back into the local economy rather than lining a shareholders pockets. We very much practice what we preach and try to support other small business as much as we can, shopping almost exclusively with other indies and B Corps (plus a fair bit of pre-loved). So you supporting us, means we can support them. Win win!
