Our Sustainable Presents Top 3

We know you do not want to give gifts that end up at the back of some cupboard unopened.
Nor gifts that either just clutter the house or end up in landfill in no time.

You may be looking for something for that person that is way ahead of you in their sustainable lifestyle, and you fear a faux pas by giving something not quite as environmentally friendly as they’d like.

Or you may be looking for something for that person that wants to live a bit more sustainably but doesn’t know where to start.

Or anyone in between.

With our tips you’ll find the perfect present, you will feel good about giving, and they will love receiving. Whether for Christmas, or any other occasion.

Of course, it is the little changes that make the big difference, and the impact of swapping an everyday product for a more sustainable alternative is great. But bamboo toothbrushes, or coconut scrubbers, lovely as they are, just doesn’t have that festive feeling. We get that.

That’s why we put together this Sustainable Presents Top Three.
So, without further ado, let’s move on to …

Number 3: Fork Ranger Products

The beautiful design of both the Fork Ranger book and the seasonal cooking planner has a very gift-worthy feeling.

Yet, both are useful products that can help people make the most sustainable food choices. And everybody has to eat every day.

💚The book contains easy to make, healthy, vegetarian (and vegan or easily made vegan) recipes and lots of information on enjoying food sustainably.
Both the recipes and the general information are illustrated and written in a way that can be easily understood.

💚The Seasonal Cooking Planner (previously Seasonal Calendar) shows which fruits and vegetables are in season each month and provides QRcodes to four easy to make, healthy, vegetarian (and vegan or easily made vegan) recipes with seasonal veg for that month.

They make lovely presents for anyone who is interested in making more sustainable food choices or anyone you’d like to get interested.
They are handy for anyone who likes to eat a varied and healthy diet and try new recipes, without having to spend hours in the kitchen and storing a thousand things in the cupboard.

Why not send newlyweds of with a Fork Ranger book or calendar to spice up their new eco-friendly life together?
Or ensure someone moving out of the house has plenty of yummy ideas to get a proper amount of veggies in, without much effort or damage to the environment.

Number 2: Wax Wrap Kits

These cute little boxes have an instant gift-y feel for sure.

But what’s inside is even better!

💚We love that in giving this, you give a fun activity as well as a long lasting, useful, sustainable product, which helps someone to reduce their use of plastic.

But you could also have the making fun yourself and use the wraps to gift your home-baked goodies in a wonderfully personal and most sustainable way.

We do offer a special Christmas themed fabric, but is you are buying for another occasion, or if you doubt they would get much use over the year, you can also opt for another print; there is four choices.

You can also choose between a bees- or a soy wax bar, to customise your prezzie to the max.

Each kit further includes greaseproof paper and foolproof instructions, so mostly anyone (even kids, under supervision) can use it right away. They only need to have either an iron or an oven.

Once prepared, the wax wraps can be used to replace cling film to keep all food products fresh longer (just don’t put anything hot in, or the wax may melt again) and can be composted at the end of their life, making them a true zero-waste gift.

These are ideal for slightly crafty people and households with kids. But also for people who love baking. And those who regularly have left-overs, store food or take it along. Yes, that would be almost anyone, wouldn’t it?

Number 1: The Uno Bar

This soap bar proofs that a present can have that true luxury feel, while being all useful, and without breaking the bank.

These bars can be used to wash hair, hands, bodies and to shave. Most of which are things most people do regularly, so anyone can find a use for these and you can rest assured that your gift won’t lay wasted in the back of a cupboard, even if you have to buy something for someone you don’t know all that well –a teacher, perhaps, or an unhappy draw as secret Santa.

Furthermore, these handmade beauties are all natural and plastic free and therefore a wonderfully sustainable alternative to the bath and shower products you’ll find in supermarkets.
And they just look that bit more special, don’t they?

You can put together a little -or not so little- set with a soap rack or dish, soap saver bag, bath puff, back brush or … well, better browse around the website for a bit if you’re going for the bigger gift option.

But they really are a lovely gift in themselves and with more than 20 choices available, we’re confident you could find one to suit anyone you would want to gift anything, for any occasion.
These are really just the perfect little thing for basically everyone.

And did you know you can also get in touch if you are looking to give a large group of people a little something, such as your employees, or guests to a special party? We’re happy to help find the best fit to your wishes and budget. The earlier you contact us, the more we can do for you.
