CHRISTMAS
Sustainable gifting ideas Sustainable gifting is a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas while being kind to the planet. Here are some sustainable gifting ideas: Reusable items: Give gifts that encourage less waste such as reusable shopping bags, stainless steel water bottles, coffee cups or beeswax wrap instead of plastic wrap. Plants: Gift a potted plant or seeds that can grow into flowers, herbs or vegetables. They reduce carbon dioxide and bring joy and beauty. Experiences: Offer experiences such as concert tickets, cooking classes, spa vouchers or outdoor adventures. Memories last longer than material possessions. Homemade gifts: Create DIY gifts like homemade soaps, candles, photos or baked goods. This reduces packaging waste and adds a personal touch. Upcycled or vintage items: Shop for unique, upcycled or vintage items from thrift stores or artisan markets. They have character, reduce waste and support local businesses. Subscription services: Consider gifting subscriptions to eco-friendly services like organic food delivery, sustainable clothing rentals or digital magazines to reduce paper waste. Donations: Make a donation in someone's name to a charity or organisation that supports a cause they care about. This can be for environmental conservation, social justice or any other meaningful cause. Reusable or eco-friendly bags: Gift reusable 24
