5 ethical Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list

Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for kids, or want to treat yourself to a cruelty-free beauty bundle, we have you covered with 5 Christmas gift ideas to help you prepare for the festive period.

Frugi’s Fyfe Fairisle Jumper, from £32, welovefrugi.com

The perfect gift for kids, Frugi’s unisex jumper comes in a bright and colourful traditional bumble bee yellow and teal print that conjures up images of blustery autumn walks and cosy winter evenings. Made from a GOTS certified organic cotton knit, this cosy jumper has a funnel neckline with button fastening, raglan long sleeves, and stretchy cuffs, hem, and neckline to make it easy to put on and off. This perfect-fitting, easy-to-wear jumper comes in sizes for toddlers and kids up through ten years, and is the ultimate in comfort for boys and girls this winter.

Arizona Sunrise Plastic-free Makeup Collection, from £5.95, zaomakeup.co.uk

Plastic-free beauty brand Zao launched the Arizona Sunrise collection in July, inspired by the great outdoors and a longing to travel. The new collection is evocative of vast, desert landscapes with sun-scorched earth and solar hues, comprising a ‘Coral Pink’ matte lip ink, ‘Peach Nude’ lip gloss, ‘Natural Radiance Peach’ blush, a vibrant blue and a deep rose pink nail polish, as well as four new shades of our rectangular refill eyeshadows that fit Zao’s best-selling refillable Duo Eyeshadow palettes. Zao also launched Cocoon in 2020, a range of balm lipsticks in four luscious shades, and added four new shades of matte lipsticks to its range, rebranding them as Classic Lipsticks to reflect their long-standing popularity. The bold, plastic-free collections are the ideal gifts for beauty lovers who are looking to reduce their plastic consumption.

Winter Spice Gift Set, £25, thehealinghutuk.co.uk

Cinnamon and orange clove combine to deliver a perfect, wintery fragrance in this aromatic gift set. The invigorating aroma of fresh and zesty orange, blended with the strong, spicy scent of cinnamon will envelop your home in one big virtual hug, leaving you feeling relaxed, revitalised and very Christmassy! The set contains a room spray that’s perfect for bed linens and furniture as well as a votive candle made from organic plant waxes and natural essential oils. Enjoy 20% off with code LIVEGREEN20

Sleep Superstars, £32, kissthemoon.com

Ethical skincare brand Kiss the Moon has collected its top award-winning products for 2020 in this glamorous copper bag. It’s the ultimate gift for beauty lovers, but also makes the perfect pamper treat for yourself ahead of the holiday season. Inside you’ll find a GLOW Pure Essential Oil Soap, LOVE Night Cream for Hands, LOVE After Dark Bath Oil, and a 100% cotton washcloth. Did we mention the copper bag is also made from super clever & washable? It’s sustainable, vegan-friendly, and super strong, plus the more you use it, the softer it gets – like a fine leather. With a gorgeous metallic finish and a cute little tassel, we think there are going to be a lot of these on Santa’s list this year.

Full Hair & Body Care Set, from £25, nereus.uk

Nereus London creates the perfect sustainable Christmas gifts, plus with the packaging being completely recyclable and plastic-free, it’s the ideal gift for the eco-minded loved ones in your life. Choose from a range of gift sets, including signature products such as wonderful-smelling luxury shampoos, conditioners, and body washes, all inspired by the scents of the natural world.
