Gift green this Christmas with Library of Things vouchers

With Black Friday looming and the Christmas shopping season in full swing, why not consider giving the gift of less stuff and more fun to the budding DIY-ers, makers and adventurers in your life with Library of Things’ new gift vouchers!

Did you know that 40% of us receive up to five gifts we’d rather not have each year? That adds up to about £42 million worth of unwanted gifts that eventually end up in UK landfills and incinerators.

This season, skip the waste and gift sustainably with a Library of Things gift voucher. These vouchers give your friends and family access to over 30 useful items they can borrow to start a new hobby, tick off DIY projects or host a film night with friends - no extra storage required. They’re also the perfect option for all the last-minute gift-buyers out there!

By gifting a Library of Things voucher, you’re also supporting a small, purpose-led business, as well as local Twickenham based business Patch, where our lockers live.

Borrow useful items for a cosy Christmas

Our Library of Things is also a fantastic, cost-effective resource to help you prep for and wind down from the holidays. If you’re looking to create or add a personal touch to your decorations and gifts, you can affordably borrow loads of items like sewing machines, drills and a range of tools.

Their popular carpet cleaner and hedge trimmer are ideal for clearing up festive spills and mystery stains, or cutting up your real Christmas tree to be collected and recycled.

A borrower shared: “I’d been thinking of hiring someone to give our carpets a clean but then decided to give it a go myself when I heard about Library of Things. The concept just makes so much sense! What we loved the most was the customer service, it’s easy to reserve, collect and return. Using it was made super easy with the online guides provided.”

Additionally, they’ve just added a new thermal imaging camera to Twickenham’s collection, which can help you identify cold spots and insulation gaps with ease, ensuring your home remains warm and energy efficient.

You can also enjoy a 10% discount off your first rental using the code TWICKENHAMLOT10.
