The Body Shop has a large range of vegan and cruelty free skincare.

I’ve been a fan of The Body Shop since I was a teenager. Originally it was because they were cruelty free and very affordable. I went off them for a few years when I became more concerned about plastic, however their policy on plastic is constantly improving and I still love their products.

Eco-Friendly Companies for Gifts

Although personally I ask people not to give me gifts and I explain my reasons for not wanting to give them either, there’s no denying that sometimes a gift is nice to give or receive.

Social Stories Club sell ‘gifts that make a positive social impact’.

Any of the shops mentioned above sell items that could be given as presents. However The Social Stories Club is a website dedicated to ethical gifts. They sell hampers with biscuits, shortbread, chocolate, coffee, tea and even soap or candles. Every item you choose to include has a ‘story’. The items included empower artists with disabilities, reduce landfill waste, provide education of young girls, contribute to reforestation and more. Also in the hamper you purchase is a booklet with a story about each item included.

Give a gift and give back at the same time!

Boostology sells a range which includes organic, vegan and plastic-free products.

Almost all of their items are plastic free (just a few lids and things are plastic), and their gifts are beautiful. They have some really lovely wooden games like solitaire, reversi and suduko as well as so much more. Well worth a look especially as they plant trees and all their packaging is eco-friendly and plastic free.

Paper High, as the name suggests, sells a lot of paper products, but so much more than that too.

Paper High have a set of ethics they adhere to. Everything they sell is Fair Trade, everything must have as little environmental impact as possible and they strive to make a positive social impact wherever they can. Every order on their website also plants a tree.

Amarante London are a sustainable florist.

Who doesn’t flowers? But like me you might think they’re a bit of a waste of money as they’ll probably die within a week. Not these ones! You can buy ‘forever roses’ which will last for years, rather than days. Check out their dried flowers and other stunning flower arrangements. Perfect as a gift for someone you love or yourself.

In the world we live in finding companies that manufacture in and supply items to the same country is very difficult. In the UK for example the cost to manufacture can be so high that to be in any way competitive they have to find overseas manufacturers. This is not great for the carbon footprint but is understandable. I see this as a compromise, one I wish wasn’t required, but at least these companies are using more sustainable materials and not contributing to the massive waste problem the world has.

If you like what I do and want to support this website, you can buy me a ‘coffee’ which helps with the running costs of the website. Alternatively come and say hello on facebook, twitter or pinterest.
