Green Cheeks

Green Cheeks, a one-Mum brand of colourful family essentials from Nottingham

Green Cheeks is a small British brand founded in 2020 by Lianne, who runs it single-handedly from Nottingham. The business began when her son was two, out of a wish for reusable, practical and cheerful products for family life. Every order is packed by her, every design is chosen by her and messages arrive directly in her inbox, according to the company's own account.

The catalogue is organised around exclusive Green Cheeks designs rather than third-party labels, and the shop describes itself as making items in small quantities, either to order or in short runs.

Changing bags and maternity bags

Changing bags are the core of the range. The site lists models such as Hedge Over Heels, Creepin' It Real, Strawberry Fields, The Sorting Bag, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Tales From The Riverbank, Golden Afternoon, Life's A Peach and Never Grow Up, most priced at £49.00 at the time of writing. A personalised changing bag is offered at £59.00. The bags are described as made from water-resistant nylon with plentiful pockets for organisation, and every changing bag purchase includes a free buggy clip.

The bag category also covers wet and messy bags, maternity and hospital bags, school bags and the buggy clip itself.

Reusable cloth nappies and nursery items

Under the reusable heading, Green Cheeks sells cloth nappies and related components: the Tandem Pocket Nappy with hemp insert (£9.99), the Justa Pocket Nappy shell (£6.00), the Unpocket Nappy Wrap (£8.00) and a three-layer hemp nappy insert (£3.99). A cloth nappy starter kit for beginners is listed at £89.00, reduced from £119.88. Cloth wipes and breast pads complete the reusable line.

For the nursery, the shop offers items such as a soft felt cot mobile with a woodland theme (£29.00), a MINICAMP wooden baby mobile holder arm (£29.00), a six-pack of sensory balls (£9.99) and novelty baby Christmas socks.

Drinkware and back-to-school pieces

The drinkware range includes stainless steel kids' water bottles at £19.00, personalised versions at £23.00, a 900 ml insulated travel bottle at £23.00, a 1.2 L insulated travel tumbler at £29.00 and a 40 oz Halloween tumbler with handle at £29.00. A back-to-school collection groups personalised essentials, and a separate personalised gifts and accessories line covers customised items.

Made-to-order production and delivery times

The brand explains that production times depend on the type of item. Stocked products, including cloth nappies, nappy inserts, wet bags, nursing items, accessories, toys and most non-personalised smaller items, are dispatched within 48 hours from Monday to Friday. Changing bags in stock follow the same 48-hour dispatch, while made-to-order or out-of-stock prints take two to three weeks. All water bottles are printed to order and take two to three weeks, as do personalised items, which cannot be returned unless faulty.

Orders mixing stocked and made-to-order products are sent together once everything is ready. Shipping is tracked, usually through Evri or Royal Mail, at £2.99 for orders under £40 and free above that threshold within the UK; international postage is calculated at checkout by region. The company states that it ships worldwide.

Small-batch production as a working principle

Green Cheeks presents its modest stock levels and made-to-order model as a deliberate choice: it allows more designs, reduces waste, keeps prices fair and avoids piles of unsold stock. The brand describes this as slow, sustainable manufacturing and notes that stock levels are intended to grow as the business grows, particularly for changing bags.

Customer feedback and editorial content

The site displays a Trustpilot reference alongside its shopping interface. It also publishes a blog, Blogs & Musings, with articles on reusable nappies, on why the brand stopped selling cloth nappies and later brought them back, and on the long-term value of multi-use baby essentials.
