Peace and good loos for all men

Are you stuck for an ingenious Christmas present? Don’t get bogged down with Christmas shopping, simply twin your loved one’s toilet.

We all have that person in our lives, the one who’s impossible to buy presents for. Usually it’s your Dad. This year, why not think about treating them to a toilet twin? 

Thanks to our new and improved website, you can now personalise any twins given as gifts. We also include a gift card, so you can write a few words explaining why you thought a latrine would be the perfect present.


Christmas at your convenience
Order by the 14th December for your certificate to be delivered in time for Christmas – just order by 7 pm. However, if you’re one to leave things to the last minute and miss that deadline, you can download a voucher to print or email – great to add in with a Christmas (e-)card.
Toilet Twinning is a gift that transforms communities and leaves the person you are buying for flushed with a yuletide glow.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy loo year!

Ten festive uses of toilet roll

We’ve scoured the Internet to find ten of the best innovative uses for old toilet roll tubes to brighten up your home this Christmas.

Ok, so we’re a few days behind on this, but who would have thought you could turn toilet roll tubes into such a great advent calendar?
Alternatively, you could turn those tubes into a variety of Christmas characters, whether you want to go for the traditional nativity scene…

… Father Christmas and his helpers ….

Or you could use your spent toilet rolls for home-made decorations for your tree

Using a similar technique you can create fantastic wreath

Technically this Christmas tree wasn’t made using loo roll, but with a bit of wrapping paper we’re sure the effect could be recreated!

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it wouldn’t be Christmas without crackers. If you’re fed up of the usual jokes and trinkets, why not recycle those toilet rolls and make your own?

Last but by no means least, reuse old toilet roll inners as gift wrapping for smaller presents (this looks much prettier than it sounds!)

Unfortunately a Toilet Twinning certificate won’t fit in one of these so will have to be gift-wrapped in the normal way.
