About Us

Mike & Emma are the brains behind A Little Tin of and its parent company Gingerwick. We're a Father and Daughter team who have worked together for far too many years but still manage to get along!

The idea for the Little Tins came after a trip to a local museum with the youngest member of the family, Matthew, who at that point was 3 years old. He'd been given some spending money but was disappointed that nothing in the gift shop captured his imagination as it wasn't related to poo.

This one comment has now grown to a range of 20+ designs of Little Tins of Poo or Droppings in the Animal Collection. These includes the first design which was Rats and range from real animals such as Sheep and Hedgehogs to fantasy ones like Dragons and Unicorns.

For our Scottish friends we developed the Wee Collection featuring the iconic Highland Cow, Haggis and Nessie. If you're a fan of the beach then the Seaside Collection is for you as it includes the likes of Seagulls, Sharks and Puffins.

We also have the Nosy Collection, featuring Kittens and Puppies. People ask why they are focussed on noses rather than poo.

We decided that whilst the other animal deposits had the "Yucky" factor these two animals were a bit different as a lot of people have to deal with their offerings every day so they aren't quite as funny!

Each tins stands just over 8cm tall (and holds 100g of sweeties) they're made from Aluminium with a screw off lid. Once the contents have been scoffed they become a great little container for storing all those bits and bobs.

Hopefully we have an animal you're looking for but if not get in touch and we will see what we can do!
