10 Sustainable Christmas Gift Ideas In Lifestyle

10 CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS FOR WOMEN WHO VALUES ANIMAL, PLANET AND HUMAN WELLBEING

We are surrounded of festives that impulse this capitalist society to shop. While for me, gifts have become more of experiences than things, I must confess that from time to time it is exciting to unwrap a present, and if it is sustainable even better, and always supporting small local businesses.

So, here is a curated list of Christmas gifts I would love to receive or shop for myself or gift to my loved ones;

1.  A set of compostable stationary made of plants, with a note pad made of stone, a pen, pencil and phone case made of grass and a gorgeous reusable bottle that will last a lifetime. All under 50€ -  Shop HERE

2. A set of comfy recycled merino wool jumper and pants. This set is absolutely the perfect GIFT and promise it will be extremely used. I could wear it to just chill at home all day as to go out for a coffee with frieands. It’s stylish, with a timeless color, and will keep you warm through the entire winter. Can guarantee that this is a set that will be used as soon as it gets unwrapped. Over 100€ - Shop HERE

3. A set of Bruna jewelry, also a sustainable brand with timeless designs for the fashionista and chic of the family. I've also added this on my Christmas list :)

4. A Subscription for a course at Centre of Excellence, because learning is a gift and they have hundreds of courses from meditation, to business, to aromatherapy, or anything your loved ones are passionated about. Also Storytel app is a great subscription present, for a year full of e-books. Their are other bunch of subscription gifts I could think about, from a year supply of organic fruits and veggies, a Vegan Bundgle, or a ceramic or candle course in a local atelier. I bet if you do a little research on google you'll be able to find anything close by.

5. Almond Cow milk maker, hell yeah, this has been on my list since summer, and it’s a MUST HAVE for all the plant milk lovers. Shop HERE

6. A set of gorgeous lingerie made of recycled material. Shop HERE

7. For the lucky one and who have a slightly bigger budget, invest on this gorgeous timeless luxury handbags made in Europe with innovative vegan materials such as apple or corn leather. Between 200€ & 300€ -  Shop HERE

8. Another cool gift would be an Alma Eko pack, filled with amazing daily essential zero waste products, from soaps, shampoos, creams, toothbrushes, deodorants, etc… Under 50€ - Shop HERE

9. Candles have become a statement decoration in the house, and it's a perfect gift for anyone. But a good candle should be toxic free, plastic free, vegan and with the most beautiful and natural scent created by experts in Grasse. Like this beautiful ones from L'Ephemere a Rome 

10. And for last but not least, for those who still hesitate on what to offer their loved ones, why not get a Bianka Köben GIFT CARD that could be redeemed on any products available at www.biankakoben.com and valid for 6 months. Shop HERE

NOTE: organise and make your Christmas shopping from 1 to 2 months in advance, to avoid shopping in big multinational stores such as Amazon, Zara... that are exploiting our planet and people... and support small, ethical and sustainable businesses.
