Your first Teabreak is dispatched within 3–5 working days. After that, your monthly box is posted around the 10th of each month.

We'll do all the planning. You just need to make the time.

You keep meaning to make time for yourself.

There always seems to be something else on the list.

  • Another load of washing.
  • Another email.
  • Another packed lunch.
  • Another appointment.
  • Another thing to remember.

By the time you reach the bottom, there's rarely anything left for you.

That's exactly why The Teabreak Project exists.

You don't have to finish everything first.

There will always be something else you could be doing.

Have your Teabreak anyway.

Included with your first delivery

A little welcome from us.

Every new Hummingbird receives a complimentary Teabreak bag with their first delivery.

It's made for keeping your current project, half-finished makes, scissors, notebooks and all the useful little bits that seem to gather around a Teabreak.

But really, it's something else too.

A small reminder that this time belongs to you.

Your bag is included free when you become a member.

Beautifully planned.Ready whenever you are.

Every month your Teabreak arrives ready for you to enjoy.

  • No shopping lists.
  • No searching for ideas.
  • No wondering what you'll need.

Everything arrives beautifully planned, ready for you to put the kettle on and begin.

The aim isn't to turn you into a different kind of crafter every month. It's to give your hands something enjoyable to do while the rest of you gets a break.

Some months you'll paint. Some months you'll stitch, grow, knot, fold, journal, mould or make something you didn't even know had a name.

You'll never know exactly what's arriving next month…

…and that's one of the nicest parts.

Open it the moment it arrives or save it for a quieter afternoon. Your Teabreak will be waiting whenever you're ready.

The five joys

Five small joys.One ritual to return to.

Every month is different, but every Teabreak is built around the same five little rituals.

  • Treat

    Pop the kettle on. Cut the cake.

    Choose your tea or hot chocolate, open something delicious and settle in. Because ordinary days deserve good things too.

  • Glow

    Light the tealight.

    A tiny ritual that tells your mind: this is your moment to slow down.

  • Play

    Press play.

    Each month has its own carefully chosen playlist… a little soundtrack for making, brewing and slowing down.

  • Make

    Open your kit and begin.

    Everything for your creative project is ready and waiting. No experience needed. No perfection required.

  • Celebrate

    Pin your badge with pride.

    Not because you made something perfect. Because you made a little space for yourself.

Every month is different. The ritual stays the same.

Perhaps you're a Hummingbird too.

Hummingbirds are women learning to put themselves back on their own list.

We're not people who have mastered the art of slowing down.

We're practising.

  • We use the good mug on a Tuesday.
  • We eat the cake without needing an occasion.
  • We try things we've never done before.
  • We make things badly, but with joy.
  • We take twenty minutes even though there's washing in the basket.
  • We're not always brilliant at it.

We do it anyway.

Because putting yourself back on the list doesn't mean caring about everyone else less. It means refusing to leave yourself off it.

You don't have to earn your joy.

The Hummingbird Community

A gentle place to land between Teabreaks.

Membership includes access to our private Hummingbird Community.

It's where Hummingbirds share what they've made, show the gloriously wonky versions too, swap ideas, join in with little surprises and remind each other that there is absolutely no such thing as being behind on a Teabreak.

  • Share the make you're ridiculously proud of.
  • Share the wonky one too.
  • See what other Hummingbirds did with theirs.
  • Join our monthly community prize draws.
  • Get little peeks behind the scenes.
  • Or quietly lurk with a cup of tea. That's allowed too.

We cheer. We don't judge.

There's no right way to be a Hummingbird. Just your way.

Wherever you are, there's a Hummingbird putting the kettle on too.

Didn't get around to it this month?

Nothing bad happens.

An unopened Teabreak isn't another task you failed to complete.

Leave it there. Come back next Tuesday. Or next month.

Finish February's project in August if that's when you fancy it.

Teabreaks don't expire.

There is no falling behind here.

Seasonal Hummingbird Surprises

Some surprises are worth waiting for.

One of the loveliest parts of being a Hummingbird is knowing that, every so often, there's something unexpected waiting for you.

Once you’ve been a Hummingbird for six months, you’ll receive a little Seasonal Hummingbird Surprise tucked into your Teabreak box each season.

  • They're never announced in advance.
  • They're simply our way of saying…

We're so glad you're still here.

The longer you're part of the Hummingbird Community, the more little traditions you'll discover.

It takes away the decision for me. I make sure I stop and do the project. It has become part of how I look after myself.

Thank you for sending love out to me every month. I honestly don't know where I'd be without my Teabreaks.
