Happy holidays! Truly, this is one of our favourite times of the year...we love everything this season brings. From Christmas songs, gathering for festive meals with family and friends, the lights, the smells - everything. We love celebrating this season of giving which is why we wanted to share some of our last minute Christmas gift ideas with everyone. However, it still amazes us to see how much more-than-usual excess packaging goes to waste at this time of the year. Before we open all our presents this year, we really want to encourage everyone to recycle or keep the packaging. It could be for reuse during upcoming birthdays, surprise gifts or even next Christmas if you can! 

Here are some of our last minute gift ideas while being earth friendly.

1. Bake something!

Everyone will appreciate it when it comes to cookies, cakes, or anything sweetly made by you.

2. KIN Tote Bag

A must-have staple to carry all the gifts this season and for everyday life. Our sustainably made tote bag comes with a beautifully printed Thank You card where you can personalise by sharing details within the comments section during checkout.

3. Handmade Ceramic Mug

Something reusable and practical for coffee and tea lovers alike. We love this Sowtale handmade ceramic mug from Plantdays. 

4. Clean Beauty Set

Many skincare brands have some beautiful gift sets to really save you some time, while being a great gift every girlfriend or family member will appreciate. Go for an eco-friendly beauty brand set like Tatcha’s Pore-Perfecting & Protecting Set.

5. Sustainable Candles 

Taking some time to find a lovely candle scent for a friend is an easy and thoughtful gift. Try to opt for more sustainably minded brands out there such as Woodco’s handcrafted, non-toxic Limited Edition Christmas candle. 

6. Donation Gift

Inspire friends and family to do more good this year by helping others in need. Support a cause you stand for and share that with someone you care about. There are many ways to give back at Unicef, WWF, Oxfam and other local charities. 

Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday! Let’s spread the Christmas cheer all around <3
