Common questions

What ages are your products suitable for?

There's no upper age limit. Our bags are designed around children's needs but work for teenagers and adults too — we've heard from families across the full age range. The Sunflower Lanyard is relevant at any age. If you're unsure whether something is right for your child specifically, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Who are your products for?

For any family who wants travel to feel a little calmer — for everyone involved. Our kits are loved by parents of children who find busy, unpredictable environments a lot to navigate: airports, queues, long waits, unexpected changes of plan. If your child needs a bit more preparation, a bit more calm, or a bit more of their own space to feel safe — you're in exactly the right place. Gentle Journeys was created by Jenna, a mum who couldn't find the right support for her own son — so she built it herself. This brand exists for every family who has ever stood at a departure gate and thought: there has to be a better way. There is. And you're already here.

What's inside the sensory bags?

Every bag arrives ready to go, and every bundle also includes the multilingual Sunflower lanyard attachment plus one official Sunflower lanyard free. Soft Cotton Bag (blue or pink): foam glider plane, plane popper fidget, tie-dye fidget spinner, butter bar stress toy, vegan sugar-free lollipop and travel sticker sheets. Water-Resistant Bag (green or pink): the same contents, plus plenty of room for your child's own headphones, iPad and comfort items. Eco Bag: bamboo flying copter, sugar-free lollipop and 2 x biodegradable fidget loops (cornstarch, fully recyclable).

What does the Sunflower Lanyard actually do?

It's a quiet signal. Staff at most major UK airports, airlines, and a growing number of retailers, hotels and attractions are trained to recognise the Sunflower as a symbol of hidden disability. When they see it, they know to offer more time, patience and flexibility — without you having to explain, justify or disclose anything you're not comfortable sharing. It doesn't guarantee perfect experiences everywhere. But it changes the baseline, consistently, at every place that recognises it.

What comes in the bundle?

Every bundle is the sensory bag, the multilingual Sunflower lanyard attachment, and one official Sunflower lanyard free. The bag and the lanyard work better together than either does alone, and on a travel day having everything in one order means one less thing to think about. They arrive together, which matters if you're packing the night before a flight.

Where do you deliver and how long does it take?

We deliver across the UK. Standard delivery is 3–5 working days. If you're ordering close to a trip and need it faster, get in touch — we'll do what we can. International delivery is coming soon.

What if it's not right for us?

Get in touch within 14 days and we'll sort it. No complicated process. We want every family to feel good about what they've bought — and if they don't, that's on us to fix.
