The story behind The Printed Peanut
DOES NOT CONTAIN PEANUTS!




THE PRINTED PEANUT
Founder and freelance illustrator Louise Lockhart started The Printed Peanut back in 2012 as a way of applying her drawings to quality products - bringing colourful illustrations into peoples homes! Her fun, cheerful designs are dreamt-up in worlds where animals wear hats, the flowers are neon pink and there are ice cream shops everywhere you look!
The idea for the business came after Louise graduated from Glasgow School of Art, spent a few years travelling and got a job working in a beautiful stationery shop in Vancouver, Canada. This inspired her to start her own line of illustrated products, so she set up a basic screen printing operation in the bathroom of her tiny apartment printing sheets of patterned paper and cards. Realising there was a gap on the market for quality party games, she began making her version of Pass the Parcel (fuelled on peanut butter!) and so The Printed Peanut was born.
Louise's product range rapidly grew from paper based cards and stationery to homeware like tea towels and ceramics. When her good friend started a local soap making business, she jumped at the chance to package it in her own designs. The soap was a massive success, being stocked in shops and galleries all over the world.
Based in the hills of Yorkshire, Louise works from home in a beautiful converted cotton mill that she and her husband spent four years renovating. As well as single-handedly running her businesses, Louise still works on children's books such as baby board books for Nosy Crow and in the past the Harry Potter series for Bloomsbury.
We often talk about products that are a lovely gift and a greeting card put together, and I think that these beautifully packaged soaps from The Printed Peanut Soap Company are exactly that. The quirky design of the box just adds to the soap inside making it a little treat that says a lot.

I discovered these oxygen tablets for toilet cleaning on another eco site, but they were out of stock, so I searched and found them on green tulip. The ordering process was very easy and delivery was very quick, with sustainable packaging. I also received a very nice, friendly thank you message after my order. I will look at green tulip again, once my current eco products run out. Thank you, green tulip
They are great, I love them. Just pop one into the toilet bowl, leave a couple of minutes to fizz up, then brush the whole toilet bowl. They smell lovely and fresh and clean effectively. It’s great not to be polluting our waterways and not throwing away endless plastic bottles, as they come in a biodegradable wrap.
Ordered deodorant, toothbrushes and interdental brushes and they were delivered quickly, in great condition and eco packaging.
Prices were the best I could find and I love that they're a Living Wage employer.
Great products and peace of mind because they're ethically run. Definitely will order again
I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of my Green Tulip experience. The reusable food storage containers are not only highly functional but gorgeous as well, and the swift, plastic-free packaging was awesome.
Green Tulip are so accommodating. I ordered their Kochi stainless steel food containers which are an ideal size for me as a single person and perfect for freezing. Green Tulip were happy to order in more for me and to let me know when they'd received them. I shall definitely be looking at what else I can order from them. Their delivery times are quick as well, an excellent company.
