Poo notes

The elephant poo used in this product is collected from UK zoos and safari parks.

Elephants eat lots of fibrous material, which passes through their system relatively undigested.

After cleaning the poo, some recycled paper is added to hold it together. It’s then fashioned into these gorgeous notes, making an excellent gift for someone special. And no, it doesn’t smell!
