Product Information

Why not also try to put some bubble mix in a cup and use the straw (or our Foamer) to blow mountains of bubbles and watch what happens! I have always been passionate about Peace. My father was a Polish refugee (he also went on to fight with the SOE and was helped to set up the Advertising Trading Standards), but the war and the impact on my family have marked my life. I have always written letters for Amnesty and at 17, when I first arrived in London after leaving home in Italy I used to join the anti-apartheid vigils outside South Africa House. ALSO with our awesome WiT - Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment Sustainable Learning Community we will be hosting meet ups - in London and in Nuremberg, let me know if you're interested in being part of this exciting and dynamic happening in our industry and I can send you an invite. If you have followed our journey over the last 13 years - from my kitchen table and three kids in tow, to market stalls, to pop-ups, to garden shed, to large scale festivals, to retail, to factory, to eviction, to rehoming, to further growth, and finally to today, and to outsourcing, you will know what a ride it’s been.

Now, I feel like we face new territory. Like I have scaled a mountain as high as Everest. Pushing a boulder up a hill, with moments thinking I would let go, that it would overtake me, crush me. Yet, suddenly I am here. At the summit. And the world I see ahead of me is beautiful and full, so full of possibility. Ziggy and I were on the streets last Friday with the General Climate Strike. Dr Zigs was closed for the day so that all our crew could have the opportunity to take part. We’ll be supporting the Extinction Rebellion action in London early next month too. We’re also working on getting the bubbles into some of the camps in the Yemen at the moment.Not an easy task. What is coming up with the Dr Zigs business? I have also had the HUGE honour of being selected for Expedition.A women only, round the world sailing voyage researching and studying ocean plastics. It’s incredibly exciting, as we will be looking in depth as what is happening with micro plastics across our oceans.It’s women only to celebrate women in STEM and women in exploration – and it’s incredibly appropriate as it’s becoming increasingly evident that micro plastics are particularly damaging to the endocrine system in and women’s hormones. It is an honour to be a part of this world of toys. It IS emotional. And after the years we’ve had it’s been like coming home.

And to those of you at the Toy Fair - see you in New York! We’re on the Spielwarenmesse World of Toys pavilion, Level 3 booth 1882 The brand was named after Ziggy, but also inspired by Dr Zoggs Surf Wax it’s a cool outdoor company that also embodies some pretty cool principles. Other than your family, what inspired you along the way? Yes, to get where we are today has been a long journey, and one that we are still on. Our formulation is something that we’re always looking to improve. We have just completed a PhD on our Bubbles, and currently have a Chemistry intern working on some new surfactants.

When we first came up with the idea of Bubble Kits for hire - it was all to do with our drive to work towards a Circular Economy. Basically by sharing and re-using our resources we are prolonging their life again and again and again and again... and, well you get the idea! AND a Circular Economy is round (like a Bubble :D ) Three years ago we knew nothing of what the pandemic had in store for us, three years ago our sustainability message was still getting faint interest. Yes, I’ve always been interested in science and the natural world, but dyslexia kind of curtailed any academic aspirations – I do now have a degree and a Masters (in Marine Conservation) but I did it topsy turvey, so had my kids first and only started at Uni when my eldest were two and four years old. I’ve also always made things – paintings, pottery, carpentry and weaving. Image credit: Jaime Johnson I read that you were inspired by your son Ziggy’s love of bubbles. Seeing as most children do enjoy bubbles what in particular caused you to be inspired to create bigger and better bubbles based on your sons enjoyment of them?

Frozen bubbles are of course super fragile. It is the water content (in our bubble mix it is approx. 95% water) that is freezing. That it helps me sleep at night! I need to feel that I’m doing my best to make a difference. Whether it’s helping refugees, raising awareness of issues, working towards equal rights or fighting climate change. Our My Loads of Bubble Kit contains everything needed for hours of bubbling fun. There is enough bubble mix to make over 1000 giant bubbles. These kits are ideal presents, especially for younger kids.

It’s about the so very many of our customers who buy our Bubbles to gift, to pass on, to share. Because every single one of our Bubbles is filled with love, and every single kit is filled with at least a thousand Bubbles, and for this year alone, for the number of bottles of Dr Zigs we sold, there were approximately 20 MILLION Bubbles in the world. And if each one of these Bubbles is soooo filled with love, that’s a mighty lot of love that is now in the air.Or you could simply try blowing bubbles from our normal giant wand, by holding your mouth really near the bubble film and giving it a blow! You can also hold the bubble film out, and just watch the ice crystals growing on that :)

I don’t send teams overseas as such – if I’m travelling I’ll always have the bubbles with me, but mostly it’s about facilitating and enabling. I work with grass-roots organisations, very often these are led by women, and I make sure that the bubbles are going out with named personnel, specific case workers or volunteers. The vast majority of what we do now happens through grassroots and word of mouth. What is coming up with the bubbles not bombs venture?The very first Bubbles Not Bombs initiative was right at the beginning of Dr Zigs, nine years ago now, when I took my family down to London to bubble it up for International Peace Day and against the Arms Fair. What can you tell us about bubbles not bombs? An invite to St James Palace (ooohhh) by the Department for International Trade (DIT), followed by the London The Toy Fair next week, then straight into the legendary Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse eG - so exciting and a LOT to do. Watching the crystals form is both incredibly beautiful, makes for amazing photography, and makes for a wonderful science project as you learn about crystal formation. The toy industry, emerging as if blinking in the bright lights after the years of Corona/ Covid. Slightly cautious still, but with biggest smiles and sharing huge bear hugs. The word I heard most often from old and new friends, finally solid to the touch was ‘emotional’. And yes, that is the memory and the word I will take - it has been awesome, busy, so very busy, and just filled to the brim with emotion.
