Making Christmas sustainable can be hard. So, don't panic and end up with cheap, glittery plastic all round your house! A little planning now and you can make Christmas more eco-friendly.
It's so true that it’s always the thought that matters. An OTT Christmas is, well, over and eco-friendly, sustainable gift giving is totally trending. Now's the time to spot those perfect organic Christmas gifts for her, for him, for them .. heck, for everyone! Read on, we have a few ideas to inspire you.
What Defines "Organic"?:
As I covered in a recent blog about Organic vs Natural a product rated as ‘organic’ means that its ingredients can all be certified as organic - not man-made and produced with no or minimal chemicals, and with care for the natural and animal worlds.
So, you could give a lovely organic cooking sauce. Equally, you could give a lovely organic face serum! These days, when it comes to natural and organic gifts, the sky’s the limit!
Benefits of Organic Gifts:
The number one benefit is that an organic gift is produced with a much lesser impact on the environment. Whether it's food, cosmetics or a t-shirt or bag.
As far as food and skincare go, organic gifts are healthier for you because they contain less or no chemicals or man-made additives. Are you feeling a green Christmas coming on yet?
Top Organic Gift Categories:
As well as food (a great gift, of course) all sorts of gifts can be organic. From rich organic body butters, soaps, skincare, homeware, clothes and cosmetics.
I’ve put together a list of gift ideas here. These are some of the best organic ‘gifts for her’ ideas, but they’ll put a big Christmas smile on anyone's face.

Personalising Your Organic Gifts
Now you’ve found the perfect organic gift (well done btw, you’re already way ahead of the panic buying stage!!) .. let's wrap this up!!
Top tips for sustainable gift wrapping.
- Use recyclable brown paper. Classic, stylish and natural. Tie up in a big bow with a bright fabric remnant.
- Use bright, natural fabric, like linen or cotton, and natural raffia string to wrap.
- Add some dried flowers or leaves, tuck into the bow - a big sprig of holly or spruce.
- Add a handwritten personal note. Nothing is nicer than a personal message on Christmas day 🙂
It really is the thought that goes into a gift that brings the most joy. Organic christmas gifts are unique, and will help reduce the enormous waste of Christmas’s past.
Let’s hear it for Christmas future. Love your planet!
