Welcome to www.purpleturtle.co.uk - a mail order business that evolved in response to the problems encountered during our travels as a family. There are many websites that address the hardware and the gadgets for the roughie toughies, but not so many that cater for the meek and mild as well. Our intention is to focus more on the people issues and to offer a broad range of solutions to the problems encountered - the things that can stop a challenge from becoming an ordeal, whilst still leaving the adventure intact. |
|  | Travel Sickness
A range of products for combating Motion Sickness whilst travelling by air, land or sea, tried and tested during a year afloat with three young children.
Wrist Bands, Queasy Drops, Ginger and more - and Sick Bags if all else fails! |
|  | Sun Protection
Sunshine is a wonderful thing, but too much can be troublesome. There are many products avaiilable in chemists and supermarkets that can help to protect against the ravages of the sun, so the intention here is to offer a range that includes the products that are slightly unusual or a bit harder to find. |
|  | Insect Protection
Many a holiday has been ruined by insects and other pests, so we've assembled a range of products to help you deal with them. Prevention is better than cure, so repellents and physical barriers feature quite strongly, followed by a number of products for dealing with the aftermath of the ones that do make it through... |
|  | Colloidal Silver
Colloidal Silver from Rivers of Health. Colloidal Silver is known as an anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial agent. This doesn't mean it will cure all manner of serious illnesses, as is sometimes claimed, but it does mean that it has many uses, both at home and when out and about. |

Best Selling ItemsQueasy Drops  £5.60
Queasy Drops are boiled sweets that were developed originally by healthcare professionals in the United States to provide relief from the horrible queasy stomach feeling associated with Motion Sickness. Queasy Drops are flavoured using essential oils derived from natural sources which act via aromatherapy and taste receptors to inhibit negative taste sensations and calm the stomach. They also help to eliminate the horrible dry mouth feeling that can accompany nausea, in addition to providing a much needed energy boost and something soothing and comforting to suck.
Subsequently many people found that Queasy Drops helped with Morning Sickness so some of the flavours were repackaged and are only available now as Preggie Pop Drops - the product is the same - the only difference is the name. In addition, many people find they can also help with the nausea experienced during Chemotherapy.
Each pack contains approximately 21 individually wrapped Queasy Drops or Preggie Pop Drops.
Ingredients: Brown Rice Syrup, Evaporated Cane Juice, Natural Flavours (made with essential oils). Natural Colours (Tumeric, Red Cabbage, Annatto, Red Beet, Caramel).

| | Magic Beads £3.95
These Magic Beads are made from a material that changes colour when exposed to UV light. They're pearly pale when viewed indoors, but change to pastel colours when seen outside in the shade, and bright blue, purple, pink, orange and yellow when exposed to strong sunlight. It's like having 3 bracelets in one, but more importantly, they can be used to help indicate the strength of the sun - so make sure you cover up when they're glowing! They're also ideal for children as a constant reminder of the impact the sun can have.
Each pack contains a single bracelet, made up of 26 Magic Beads, and they will change colour backwards and forwards hundreds of times.
The price for this item includes free delivery in the UK via First Class post.
