A Simple Eco Friendly Christmas Gift Guide 2021

Incase you’re trying to be a little more eco-friendly with your Christmas gifts this year. We thought we’d put together a little Christmas gift guide full of environmentally friendly brands you should check out. There’s everything from chocolate advent calendars and roasting dishes, to re-useable period pads and bamboo socks.

We all need to be a little more conscious of the environment these days, especially when it comes to Christmas time. Whether it’s buying less in general, only purchasing re-useable products, or cutting down on our plastic waste. There are so many simple things we can all be doing to help. Even something as small as not using wrapping paper, instead opting for gift bags, or recyclable brown paper. For example, did you know most wrapping paper is NOT recyclable, and that 89% of plastic isn’t recyclable either. Whether you’re planning to have this Christmas on a budget, or going all out. We have some great brands to show you.

Wear Em Out

Starting off this eco-friendly Christmas gift guide are these re-useable period pads from Wear Em Out. Yes, possibly not the type of gift you could give to just anyone. Possibly a close friend, or family member who’s trying to be more conscious of the environment.

The great thing about these is that you can use them again and again. Simply use, put in to the little bag until you can wash them, then put them in with your clothes wash at the end of the day. Or, you could even hand wash in the sink if you’d rather. They come in 3 different sizes depending on the heaviness of your flow – light, medium and mega!

This restore skincare discovery box would make a great Christmas present to someone who loves to pamper themselves at home.

In the kit you get – 15ml Gently Nourishing Cleansing Balm, 5ml Vitamin-Rich Botanical Day Oil, 5ml Overnight Replenishing Oil and the super soft eco-friendly bamboo washcloth.

Socks Mad – From £5.49

I always find socks are a great little stocking filler type of gift at Christmas. It’s not something you would normally go out and get for yourself, especially work socks! So, each year, i try to find my husband some interesting socks for his stocking. Yes, we are both almost 40 and still give each other stockings!
