About Us

 

ABOUT US
It can be difficult to know what to send children to cheer them up, when you can’t be there in person. During lockdown we set ourselves a mission to help parents give their kids a break from screens, by providing entertainment packs for them to enjoy at home instead. Being a busy mum Alix was always putting together bags of activities to entertain her sons when out and about.  Friends started asking her to put together her 'Mary Poppins' bags for their own children, so Timeout Bags was born! Alix manages the business from home to fit around her young family.  A portion of bag profits goes to UK based charity 'Changing Faces'.  Packs start at only £12 for a ‘Get Whale Soon Pack’ to £25 for a pre-filled Christmas Stocking.
WHO WE ARE
Timeout Bags provide the UK with an Award Winning solution to screen-free Activity Packs for Kids.  We are an online retailer, providing engaging activity bags for kids, crammed with books, toys, games, snacks and much more. We provide a bespoke service for busy parents who value traditional parenting methods and a screen time balance. 
WHAT'S IN A BAG
Each bag is handpicked and made to order, containing the following items:
  • - An eco-friendly 100% Cotton bag.
  • - 3 delicious snacks.
  • - 8 activities, books, toys, crafts, games and puzzles. 
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Our reusable kids' bags are kind to the environment and are made from recyclable cotton, which is naturally soft and hypoallergenic. We aim to bring you a selection of the latest must-have snacks and products on the market today. our stock is continually changing and we do not buy in bulk.  Each bag represents fantastic value for money, where combined prices are unachievable independently.  A portion of each bag sold is donated to UK based Charity 'Changing Faces'. In 2019 we gave 10% of our profits to charity - so you can feel good about what you buy.
THE WINNING FORMULA
An expanding range of tried and tested toys and activities designed to entertain children in a fun and educational way. Carefully selected snacks to energise, whilst on the go. Our bags can be used on holiday, or simply as a treat on arrival at your destination. The excitement of the bag should not wear off, as your child will want to explore their bag again once they arrive at their destination. Each bag is hand-picked according to your child's development group.
