Choosing sustainable Christmas gifts
Sustainable Christmas gifts are presents that get used, made with care and wrapped without waste. Think about what the person will enjoy using up, such as socks, skincare or something sweet, rather than one more thing for a shelf. Swole Panda makes bamboo sock gift sets and Christmas drawer boxes, with designs such as Christmas trees, snowmen and Santa. Komodo makes a triple pack of organic cotton Christmas tree socks. Every brand on this list was checked for what its products are made from and how they are made.
Eco Christmas decorations
Eco Christmas decorations are made from natural or reused materials and kept for years. So Just Shop sells jute rings, stars and stockings made by BaSE and Tara, a Fair Trade cooperative in Bangladesh and India, plus wool felt robins, reindeer and Christmas puddings, knitted baubles and a recycled sari heart wreath. Its animal ornaments include a camel, a tiger, an elephant, a parrot and a festive campervan. Wrap decorations in tissue and store them somewhere dry so they last.
Reusable Christmas crackers
Reusable Christmas crackers swap single-use crackers and plastic toys for crackers you fill yourself and use again. Keep This Cracker makes reusable crackers in sets of six in kraft, jewel, red berries and red Christmas designs, plus plain and low-noise versions for anyone who dislikes the bang. Its ready-to-fill crackers are eco Christmas crackers you fill with your own small presents, jokes and hats. After lunch, store them flat with the decorations so they are ready for next year.
Gift sets and festive extras
Wild Rising Skincare makes Christmas gift sets such as Sleigh The Day, Merry Kissmas lip set and a Christmas bath salt gift. Ubiety makes Christmas candles in copper tins and a Christmas facial mist, and Fit Skincare makes a Christmas gift pack. So Just Shop makes a Sugar and Spice gift set with Fairtrade ingredients. Pick one of these sustainable Christmas gifts for each person and add a handwritten note. Stationery has handprinted cards, Gift Wrapping has wraps and tags, Candles has winter candles, and Vegan presents and gift ideas: 25 where it actually matters has more present ideas.
Common questions
What makes a Christmas gift sustainable?
A sustainable gift is something the person will use, made from responsible materials and wrapped without waste. Things that get worn or used up, such as socks or skincare, are a good place to start.
How do reusable Christmas crackers work?
You fill each cracker with your own small gift, joke and hat, then pull it as normal. Afterwards you store it and use it again next year.
Do reusable crackers bang?
Keep This Cracker makes standard crackers and low-noise versions. The quieter ones suit young children, pets and anyone who dislikes the bang.
How should you store Christmas decorations?
Wrap them in tissue, keep them in a box somewhere dry and away from heat. Felt and jute pieces last for years if they stay dry.
