But in reality, how easy is it to make those changes to the way we live? Cue > Lil Boxes! We know lots of you love the convenience and the satisfaction of your Pantry Boxes, so we're opening them up so you can add anything from our Lil range.

What does that mean?

It means every month you subscribe to direct £20, £40 or £60 (or whatever you choose) away from business as usual, to invest in your Lower Impact Life and support everyone doing a Lil bit better. And when we say "invest", we mean buy stuff you need - from zero waste pasta to eco dishwasher tablets, traceable locally roasted coffee, a new lunch box and the snacks to go in it, or that refillable lippy you've been eyeing up - while supporting at least one and, depending on what you buy, often more social enterprises to do their work.

Every pound you spend is a vote for the world you want to live in.

A Lil box is a monthly commitment, or reminder, to spend some of your household budget more consciously.

How does it work?

Lil’s mission is to make Lower Impact Living easier for everyone. So we will tailor it to you.

Some folk like to set their monthly budget, and email us each month with a list of what they’d like. Some people know exact quantities, some tell us “more of this and that, some of this and any left over goes to chocolate”!

Some choose to set the budget for their subscription and then also have a “no limits top up”. This means we make up their order as per their list, deduct the prepaid budget value and they pay for the top up. The subscription is a reminder to check their shelves so they don’t have to make (as many) dashes to the supermarket.

Sasha, Mo, Rachel and more have chosen to make their own boxes. This tends to be specific quantities of several items, sometimes with flex for “snacks” etc. Choosing to MYO box doesn’t lock you into this though, we’ll always be in touch to check.

And of course, having a Lil Box doesn’t stop you from making regular orders, ordering at other times of the month, or buying gifts for others 😉 (Did we tell you about the chocolate and coffee monthly box? We love it or you can use our bespoke gift service) We can also combine the postage to save you £ and save transport emissions too. You’re always in control: you can take a holiday, reschedule or stop any time.

Just drop us an email at hello@dolilthings.org to chat about setting up your own Lil box or Pantry box, or simply select from one of the existing options.
