The DAME Green Christmas Gift Guide 2020.

The DAME Green Christmas Gift Guide 2020.

The DAME Green Christmas Gift Guide

46 of the best eco, sustainable and ethical Christmas gifts that support independent and thoughtful retailers and artisans in 2020.

We have scoured our little green books of brands we admire to bring you the coolest, greenest, most eco-friendly Christmas gifts from our favourite brands and independent artisans, many of which are fellow B Corporations. Being a certified B Corp means that a company is legally committed to prioritising its responsibility to the environment and society. Pretty damn cool.

One might say that Christmas is a waste-centric, indulgent landfill horrorshow (producing 300m tonnes of waste in the UK, with enough wrapping paper to go around the equator nine times, gah!) but that could be a tad Grinchy. As a sustainable brand, of course we don’t want to be condoning buying endless presents for buying’s sake. We also know, first-hand, that the joy of giving at Christmas carries its own value.

First up, scour the offerings on eBay, Gumtree, Vestiaire Collective, DePop and other second-hand marketplaces.

Next up, creating your own wrapping paper, or even better making reusable fabric wraps, can reduce the impact of Christmas. Also consider offsetting those unavoidable elements of your Christmas carbon footprint and buying from companies whose profits benefit others, such as Choose Love and Elvis & Kresse.

Enjoy!
