Ecologi’s Eco Gift Guide

Giving always feels good. Particularly at this time of year. And giving a carefully chosen gift from an ethical company making a positive impact on the world feels even better. No-one wants to give with one hand and take from our planet with the other, so why not dial that warm giving glow to the max by choosing something from Ecologi’s Eco Gift Guide? 

We have some really great ethical businesses offering amazing gifts right here in our Ecologi community, so we’re lucky enough to come across lots of hidden gems and rare treasures.  Here’s some of our top picks. Whether you’re looking for a secret santa pressie for colleagues or a festive thank you to your faves, we’ve got a suggestion for everyone, and an idea for all budgets…

Pre-loved gadgets

E-waste is one of the fastest growing problem areas for our planet, and a typical new phone creates at least 79kg of CO2 emissions. So why not keep tech out of landfill by giving pre-loved gadgets a new home? You can get some great refurbished smartphones and tablets at Reboxed.

Bathroom beauties

Ethique makes incredible cosmetic products such as shampoos and soap bars that are 100% free from plastic and palm oil, while also being carbon-neutral and vegan. Oh, and they smell amazing too!

Sustainability with style

Up your accessories game with a range of stunning dungarees, hats, tees, bags and more from Lucy & Yak. Everyone who’s had a hand in making these beautiful, high-quality garments is treated and paid fairly, and all of their organic cotton is GOTS certified.

Ecologi tree gifting

Why not give friends and colleagues the gift of trees this season? Our trees are planted all around the world in the places they’re needed most, and they do a world of good for local biodiversity and communities. Your recipient will also get their own virtual forest to watch grow. It’s a gift that will keep on giving, long into the future.

Cosy candles

There’s no better way to cosy up a home than candlelight. Good Candles are hand poured with responsibly sourced soy wax and 10% of all sales is donated to good causes, including planting trees with Ecologi!

One-of-a-kind artworks

Bring a splash of inspiration into any home or office, with authentic artwork made by independent artists. Artfinder is on a mission to make art sustainable, accessible and affordable, while supporting artists to make a living doing what they love.

Year-round bake offs

Treat any keen baker to a Baked In subscription and they’ll love receiving a unique baking kit each month. You’ll be supporting a great company that exists to tackle food waste, while making their packaging as sustainable as possible and supporting local charities too.

Greener gin

Know someone who likes a tipple? Greenall’s Gin now produces a miraculous paper bottle (who knew?) reducing weight, carbon footprint and water usage. And if that’s not impressive enough they also plant a tree with Ecologi for every bottle sold! 

One final thought, if you want to send a thank you card to colleagues and clients this year you can save unnecessary paper waste and give the postie a break by choosing a beautiful WWF e-card, featuring stunning photography of wildlife and nature.

We hope you’ve found something that fits the festive bill from this amazing community of ethical companies. Happy holidays and happy gifting!
