Concious Christmas Gift Guide
This will be the first Christmas in a while without any restrictions in the UK. We can, once again, celebrate with extended family and friends.
This is a time for love, appreciation and rest. Christmas season also calls for a need to stop and think, and shop more consciously. More than ever we need to be mindful of our planet and our relationship with the wonderful things it has to offer.
Below we've shared some of our favourite brands who have placed eco-conscious practices at the core of their business. They focus on sustainability, aim to lower their carbon footprint and help reduce waste.
Hand Turned Wooden Baubles by Selwyn House
Simple, natural and unique Christmas decorations that can be treasured and brought out year after year.
Each bauble is turned individually, often from offcuts of wood which would otherwise be wasted - pieces from other projects in the workshop or the first slice from the sawmill. Each one is finished with wood balm and a dark grey faux suede cord.
Guest Gift Box by Farm Soap Co.
A welcoming gift wrapped Guest Box filled with thoughtful products for your visitors.
In autumn and winter Farm Soap Co. use plants from warmer climes for essential oils. In the spring and summer they grow and distill skincare herbs and flowers from an organic walled garden. Dorset Sea Salt and seaweeds are sourced from the shores of the Jurassic Coast.
Non-Alcoholic Aperitif by Botivo
This superb drink is all natural, has no preservatives and is made with only 7 ingredients (including rosemary, thyme, orange zest, gentian, wormwood, honey). These botanicals are infused into a raw apple cider vinegar base.
All ingredients are prepared and bottled on a farm in Hertfordshire and Botivo are committed to buying British where possible, helping to reduce each bottle’s carbon footprint.
Alpaca Socks by Noctu
These fabulous alpaca socks are dyed and knitted in the UK using ethical, cruelty free alpaca from Peru.
Beautifully soft, incredibly insulating and durable, they are 90% alpaca 10% nylon. Alpaca has excellent insulating properties and will keep your toes snug and warm. Alpaca socks can be worn for up to a week without the need for washing due to alpaca benefitting from anti bacterial properties.

Oak Scandi Christmas trees by Your Kind Lifestyle

Every tree is completely unique and features beautiful markings and grain. The extra large and large sized trees come with a silver hook insert so you can suspend baubles and decorations from the centre. The small and extra small sized trees come without a hook due to the small size.
