Christmas is almost here, which means gift buying is on many people’s agenda as we hurtle towards the festive season at a rapid pace. Whether you have just a few more presents to tick off your list or you’re just getting started, purchasing gifts that put the planet first is a priority for most.
Purchasing eco-friendly gifts may be just one part of having an ethical Christmas but, as Humble Beach explains, it can make a huge difference to the environment and to your own wellbeing:
“Even though giving common luxury gifts often leaves a sense of temporary satisfaction, purchasing the best eco-friendly gift provides some permanent psychological benefits. Being mindful of what you’re gifting goes beyond choosing items that reduce waste; supporting small businesses and brands that give back is another way to shop and gift consciously. Now it’s time to feel better because you’re doing something remarkable!”
Buying a present that doesn’t cost the Earth is simple with our guide to the best eco-friendly Christmas gifts of 2021…
A cosy wool blanket
A cosy wool blanket or throw is the perfect way to show that special someone that you care this Christmas. Choosing one of our luxurious blankets is great for the planet too, with the wool fibres most of our designs are crafted from ticking many boxes in terms of eco-friendliness.
Thanks to its all-natural, renewable nature, wool is eco-friendly and sustainable. The production process causes minimal harm to the environment, whilst the waste products it produces (such as lanolin) can be used elsewhere in other products.
