Christmas can be a wasteful season but using our sustainable gift ideas means that Christmas does not have to be cancelled. Gift giving can be eco-friendly, and most importantly this close to Christmas, easy! Use our sustainable gift guide to discover planet-friendly, sustainable gift ideas that keep on giving – once given to the receiver, then ongoing to the planet. Adopting a more conscious attitude to Christmas shopping will help reduce the pull on Mother Nature’s resources and minimise your personal imprint on the planet.
Sustainable Gift Ideas for Foodies
So much waste goes into preparing and storing lunch each day, so help your friends and family reduce their daily waste with one or more sustainable gifts for everyday use. These products may also support New Year’s Resolutions associated with getting healthy and saving money. The Abeego Reusable Beeswax Food Wraps are a great alternative to cling wrap so you can say no to single-use plastic when storing food. The Bambu Utensil Travel Set is a simple stocking filler for your giftee to keep on hand at all times so plastic cutlery is never an option. For the organised giftee who loves a packed lunch, the Stasher Reuseable Stand-Up Bag is made from silicone (plastic free) and is designed for safe food storage, heating and cooking. You can’t go past our Turtle Bags collection – in their many colours, ideal to tuck away in your handbag to grab at whenever you might need.
Sustainable Gift Ideas for Staying Hydrated
Everyone could do with drinking more water each day, but not by increasing consumption of single-use plastic bottles. Swell offers a selection of contemporary, reusable drink bottles that will suit any style preference. As generous as they are stylish, Swell donate to UNICEF, helping to provide clean water to vulnerable children worldwide. Available in 260ml, 500ml and traveller size, there’s a Swell size and design to suit everyone. If Scandi design is more the aesthetic you’re after for your giftee, Stelton Reusable Cups will be a surefire hit. They come in two handy sizes – the small fits your morning flat white or herbal tea (use the line on the inside as the fill guide), while the large is great for all liquids including juices, smoothies and soups. These are suitable sustainable gift ideas for the pickiest of family members.
