With endless choices for sustainable companies to shop from this Christmas, it can be a little overwhelming searching for the best products. This is why we have put together a selection of brands with great Christmas gift options that are eco-friendly.
Rapanui
Rapanui is a clothing company that sells items made from natural materials using renewable energy. They also make all their clothes according to demand. This means manufacturing only starts once an order has been placed.
Clothes are made and sold by Rapanui with the expectation that they will one day be returned. With free postage in the UK, Rapanui will recover and remanufacture the old material into a new product.
And the best part is by returning your product you receive a coupon for your next purchase. This is the beauty of Rapanui’s ‘circular supply chain’. We recommend taking a look at the bundles of clothing Rapanui offers. From face masks to shirts, they are simple and great gifts.
The Den and Now
As a family-run business, The Den and Now homeware store focus on sourcing quality vintage products.
Without being able to shop in-store as we used to due to COVID-19, the perfect gift may exist in your head but you’ve been unable to find it online. Well, The Den and Now have a solution; a free bespoke personal shopping service for all customers. If you haven’t been able to find that perfect candle holder The Den and Now team are more than happy to track down the item for you.
With a whole gift guide section on their website, The Den and Now’s ‘Gifts Under £15’ and ‘Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Gifts’ are our favourites to browse. With bedding, furniture, vases, lighting and many more products to choose from, you’re certain to find the gift you’ve been searching for without harming the planet or breaking the bank.
Wild Fawn Jewellery
In 2005 when Emma Barnes saw a lack of affordable, eco-conscious jewellery available, she founded Wild Fawn Jewellery. In South East London each item is produced with quality in mind as they are handmade to order.
All of Wild Fawn’s jewellery designs are minimalistic and made from solid Sterling Silver or 9ct Gold. Wild Fawn jewellery is both wearable and recyclable as Silver and Gold can be melted down and redesigned. This means that their products never go to waste.
Wild Fawn’s recycled or recyclable packaging arrives ready for gift giving. And with the option to add a personal message it is ideal for this Christmas season where face-to-face interaction is limited. We recommend taking a look at Wild Fawn’s ‘Gifts Under £40’ collection for affordable, beautiful and minimal designs.
Flow Cosmetics
Flow Cosmetics offers a variety of cosmetic products from skincare to shampoo; all made with natural and certified organic ingredients. Based in Finland, the most important active ingredients in Flow Cosmetics products are native Finnish wild berries and herbs. These natural ingredients are full of vitamins, antioxidants and northern robust energy. Above all, Flow Cosmetics ensures that their natural products do not compromise on efficacy.
Flow Cosmetics believes that every zero-waste product is a good choice for a better tomorrow and they have been making their shampoo soap bars since 2005. Today they offer a whole selection of zero-waste products with all of their packaging materials carefully chosen so that they would be as environmentally friendly and recyclable as possible. So, it is worth purchasing a soap, shampoo or facial bar as an eco-friendly alternative cosmetic gift this Christmas.
Little Green Radicals
If you’re looking for gifts for babies and young children, consider Little Green Radicals. They make Fairtrade and 100% organic cotton clothing and choose to pay extra for their materials, giving more to the farmers, their families and the communities who grow it.
Offerings including cozy pyjamas, vouchers and an adorable gift-wrapping service.
