4. Indoor plants and biodegradable pots

Bring the beauty of nature indoors with potted plants. Pair them with biodegradable pots, making it a gift that keeps on giving as the plants grow and thrive.

5. Experiences over things

Consider gifting experiences rather than physical items. Experiences create lasting memories and reduce the demand for material goods.

6. DIY and handcrafted presents

Support artisans and reduce environmental impact by choosing upcycled or handcrafted jewellery. Or even create heartfelt gifts by making your own treats like cookies or a DIY hot chocolate kit.  

7. Donations to charities or causes

Make a difference in someone's name by donating to a cause they care about. Choose a charity that aligns with their values, whether it's environmental conservation, education, or healthcare.
