We can all agree that buying things once and being more sustainable is more important than ever.
In a world that’s always trying to sell us more stuff, Buy Me Once wanted to be different. Since it launched almost a decade ago, Buy Me Once has been committed to changing the way we shop, from buying for the short term to buying once…a more ethical and mindful approach to shopping.
When we buy once we build deeper connections with the things we own. When it gets ‘old’ we don’t throw it away – we restore it, polish it or fix it. Buy Me Once understands that the things you will love the most only get better with age.
With this in mind, Buy Me Once only sells long-lasting products that the team can stand behind. To ensure everything is made to last, the team examine the products themselves, their manufacturing story, and develop meaningful relationships with the makers and only working with people they trust.
There’s everything from items for the home, gifts, for men, women, electricals and travel items and so this is the perfect time to stop repeat buying throwaway items and invest in durability and you can save £5 on orders over £60…checkout the code below.
Here’s our pick of five popular items you will now only buy once.
Blunt makes umbrellas differently and have been tested in 70mph winds (Image: Blunt)
The brolly! You’ve probably bought quite a few umbrellas in your life, but Blunt makes umbrellas differently. With a high-tension canopy and super-strong structure, these have been tested in 70mph winds. Blunt umbrellas are even built to be repaired – free for two years, and for a reasonable cost after that. You need never throw another brolly in the bin again.
Available in a collection of colours, stay dry this autumn and get your Blunt Metro umbrella right here.

Indestructible frying pan – Don’t buy yet another flaky non-stick pan; make the switch to iron pans and upgrade to a Solidteknics iron skillet instead.
