Your Conscious Christmas Gift Guide
The gift of giving and the magic of wrapped presents under the tree is an exciting part of the holiday season. It’s also the season where consumption hits its peak and we tend to get bitten by the Christmas bug that spins us into a daze of plastic purchases and mindless consumerism. Yet with a few little tweaks you can be more conscious and ecofriendly without missing out on any of the magic! This year, let’s take a few minutes to make our Christmas a positive one – for our loved ones and for our planet.
My top 3 tips to keep in mind this silly season are 1) gift consciously and only purchase gifts that will be well loved and well used 2) avoid gifting single use items and 3) steer your gifting away from ‘things’ and towards experiences. There’s nothing like creating memories, right?
With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of my favourite conscious gifts this Christmas.
