This Christmas, do you want to contribute to the well-being of Mother Nature and fight against environmentally harmful consumption? Here are some sustainable and original Christmas gift ideas!
TIME
The most precious thing you can give someone is without a doubt: TIME. For example, you could gift concert tickets. Or if you like it more classical, opera or theatre tickets? But maybe you want to give something adventurous as a gift? Then why not give a hut tour in the mountains? There are countless experiences just waiting to make someone happy!
DONATIONS
For another very sustainable gift, you could donate trees and write out a personalised certificate in the name of the recipient. You could even support NGOs and maybe even gift a piece of rainforest. This way you have a present that is original gives you and the recipient a clear conscience and helps Mother Nature at the same time!
HANDICRAFTS
If you are good at handicrafts, you could also make a gift of something creative and homemade. Maybe you are good at making jewellery or you could upcycle something that is just sitting around. There are so many possibilities! Just check out some DIYs on Pinterest and you're sure to find something you'll love. Another homemade gift that requires less skill is creating gift boxes. For example, you could create a "Zero Waste Bathroom Starter Kit" in a beautiful box by adding all sorts of sustainable, reusable products, such as cloth cotton pads, solid shampoo, toothbrush tabs and a razor with metal razor blades.
SUSTAINABLE CLOTHES
However, probably the most popular Christmas gift is clothing. You should try to support local, young businesses with your purchase. It is also important to take note of the fabric used when buying clothes. You should also make sure that the product has been produced sustainably, without the use of chemicals such as pesticides or fertilisers. You should also buy natural fabrics that are temperature-regulating, anti-bacterial and 100% biodegradable. Sustainable and super-soft fabrics include beechwood fibre, eucalyptus fibre and bamboo fibre. These very high-quality fabrics should ideally have been produced under fair conditions.
