What we can already tell you about the Essentials.

When do the Essentials arrive?

They are in production. Leave your email above and you will hear the day they land — nothing else, we promise.

What is the difference between Essentials and the premium sets?

Essentials is the simpler build at a lower ticket: the same characters and the same silicone, with a one-piece body and fewer parts. The premium ranges keep the full set of lids and seals.

Will they come in the same four characters?

Yes — Snail, Butterfly, Turtle and Ladybug, in the same four colourways. Meet the Buddies introduces them.

Will they be the same materials?

Yes. 100% food-grade silicone, BPA free, dishwasher safe, recommended from nine months. See materials & safety.
