The Best Eco-friendly Gift Ideas Everyone Will Love
This year has been overwhelming. For everyone.
The coming holiday’s season will be like no other.
When choosing ‘the perfect gift’, now, more than ever, should we all emphasize the importance of supporting small businesses, reach for hand-made products, choose gifts that have been made with love, and their crafters have put their heart & soul into creating them.
I did my very best to follow the mentioned values when searched for ‘the gifts everyone will love’, and it is my deepest desire, you will find the gift you are looking for (or at least an inspiration), whether you are looking to buy something for a family member, loved one, a friend, a colleague…
You might say “come on, isn’t it a bit too early for holiday gifts? It’s still summer-time!” Well, I believe, we’ve all had the chance to experience a major disruption of deliveries worldwide in the past few months, hadn’t we?
With that in mind, let’s get those gifts in early – so we avoid the stress, and can make sure they will all arrive on time!
Aphrodite Natural Spa
– a wonderful eco-friendly shop that offers a wide range of personalised gift kits. They truly caught my attention with the personalised tea bags – what a unique gift!
Jungle Culture
You might fell in love with Jungle Culture story (I certainly did). In August 2018 it all started with ethically sourced reusable handmade bamboo straws (made by family-run bamboo farm in Vietnam). Now, Jungle Culture produces organic coconut bowls, bamboo cutlery and bamboo razors, all made from sustainable materials and innovatively crafted with leading British designers and Asian artisans.
The Naked Herb Soaps
– a family-run business makes all their products directly from their kitchen in SE London. Soaps are made with no nasties, only with plant butters (no palm oil), and essential oils. The brand is vegan, cruelty-free, and plastic-free.
Soaps variety: Levander & Rosemary | Neroli & Poppyseed | Ylang-Ylang & Nigella Seed | Bergamot & Black Tea | Teatree & Peppermint | Lemongrass & Nettle
Handmade Haven
– established in 2011, this crafty business focuses on vegan, toxin-free soaps, bath salts, organic bath & body melts, bath bombs, sustainable linens, and occasional stoneware. I personally love the organic cotton and organic hemp make-up remover pads – cotton is one of the most heavily chemical sprayed crop, and it is vitally important to choose organic, especially when it comes to face (and body) pads.
Ruby & Bo Shop
Have you ever received a card or a notebook you can plant? Imagine you get a card and turn it into flowers! Say what? I love this idea so much!
Ruby & Bo’s range of plantable products turns into flowers. Real flowers. Annuals and perennials, 24 varieties of colourful, happy, blooming beautiful flowers! All products and handmade (of course) in the UK, using materials sourced sustainably and locally. The seeds used for cards are native and the varieties have been exclusively mixed to support bees and other pollinators. That is why they proudly carry the Royal Horticultural Society’s ‘Plants for Pollinators’ badge on all of their plantable products.
The company re-invests a portion of its profits in environmental schemes, such as tree planting
I just fell in love with this company, and am looking forward to gifting at least of the cards very soon!
Subluceo
Handpoured wooden wick scented candles, made with 100% natural soy wax, apothecary jars, crackling wooden wicks, high quality essential and fragrance oils.
Soy wax is natural and burns at a lower temperature than paraffin wax meaning your candle will last 30 – 50% longer. Soy wax is clean burning which means it does not release soot and toxins into the environment, no black marks on your candle jars! Thanks to wooden wick the candles burn slower and wider than the cotton wicks. The wick crackles and flickers whilst it burns which gives off the cosy feeling and ambience of sitting by an open fireplace. These wicks also help with the scent throw of the candle and are better for the environment.

Bevs Eco Products
Bev is based in Suffolk, where she lives on a Dutch Barge with her husband and two children. She created this side business as she has been a beekeeper for a number of years, and could put the saved wax and favourite pieces of crafting fabric to good use. That’s when the Food Wraps were born. Bec initially started to make the food wax wraps for family and friends and quickly expanded to supplying favourite local stores and farm shops.
As time goes, Bev continues to add a variety of other handy products. I personally love the reusable, reversible cotton bowl covers, and planning to get some for my own use.
