You’ll find nothing wasteful here

words Heather Gwyther
As nice as it is to get people gifts and watch their faces illuminate as they open them, it can also be stressful. Like, what if they hate it? What if they have one already? What if they weren’t expecting a gift from you and you have unwittingly locked them into a contract whereby they now must also get you a gift? Well, those are your problems, but what we can help with is ensuring that what you get them is at least sustainable. So, here we are.
FIND YOUR FLOW
Paws Travel Yoga Mat
Yoga can have an incredibly positive impact on both your physical and mental health – everyone knows this! But did you also know that sustainable yoga mats are a thing? We favour Yoga Bare’s mat made from eco-friendly natural rubber.
BOTTLED UP
Shaker Bottle
It goes without saying that having a reusable bottle is infinitely better for the environment than using heaps of plastic ones, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t hierarchies within reusable bottles. The best one, in our opinion? Innermost’s impact-resistant bottle that’s made to last.
AROMA THERAPY
How do you tell someone they need to relax without, well, telling them to relax? Aromatherapy. Clarity Blend’s diffuser comes with all manner of lovely scents – from lavender to eucalyptus – to help with all manner of mental anguish.
