The ultimate conscious gift guide
Gifts that are good for you and good for the planet too
words Sophie Lou Wilson
If you use a reusable water bottle and always take your own bag to the supermarket, why not extend your conscious lifestyle to the gifts you buy this Christmas? A circular economy is what makes the world go round and we know it means a lot to you to put your money in the products that do good in the world, but when the festive season rolls around, greenwashing and overconsumption is rife. It’s easy to get caught up in it all and shop less mindfully than you usually would.
It can take a lot of time and effort to research the brands that are genuinely doing their best. We know you’re busy so, to make it easier, we’ve curated the ultimate conscious gift guide bringing together slow fashion, natural beauty and vegan wellness. From refillable deodorant balms to the world’s first vegan collagen, shop all the best conscious gifts below.
