Sustainable Christmas Gift Guide 2021

Our sustainable Christmas gift guide has arrived just in time for you to do some last-minute shopping, we hope you like it!

Making some sustainable shopping choices during the biggest shopping period of the year is not hard and can have a hugely positive impact on the environment. And it doesn’t even need to come down to what you buy, this year I saved a fortune on wrapping paper by simply using the brown paper padding used for some plant pots I ordered online!

From sustainable stocking fillers to big gifts for that extra special person in your life, you'll love our sustainable Christmas gift guide.

  1. Dashel Sustainable Cycle Helmets Made in the UK

Dashel makes sustainable cycling helmets in the UK! So not only is this brand great for the environment, but cycling is also safe when you wear a good helmet so it’s good for your health too. The benefits to your health and wealth outweigh the risks of cycling and you are way more likely to wear a helmet that is comfy and looks good.

Dashel’s helmets are slim and flattering and have a magnetic strap which is really easy to use. Dashel makes helmets for men, women and children, all made sustainably in the UK.

  1. Cuckooland for best Ooni Pizza Oven voucher codes

I have been looking for the best deal on an Ooni Pizza Oven and Ooni Pizza Oven voucher codes for about 2 months now and Cuckooland offers the cheapest, best Ooni Pizza Oven voucher code around!

Ooni Pizza Oven

You may be wondering why I put the Ooni Pizza Oven on the sustainable Christmas guide. Well not only are the ovens packed in sustainable packaging and built to last out of natural materials but they give 1% of annual turnover to fund social and environmental clauses. This includes a partnership with Eden Projects to sponsor a reforestation site in Madagascar. It covers 1,720 hectares of depleted mangroves, home to a vibrant but endangered coastal ecosystem.

If you fancy something a bit different for Christmas this year why treat yourself to homemade pizza? Or if you are feeling really generous, buy for a loved one!  

So, whether its wrapping your gifts in recyclable paper, only shopping with sustainable retailers and generally buying things that people actually want, need and ultimately will use it is a great ethos to adopt and teach others to adopt too. Let’s limit waste, shop sustainably and mindfully and remember with VoucherShares.co.uk you can give back to the planet for free as you shop online.

Top Cruelty Free Beauty Gifts this Christmas

There are less than 30 days left until Christmas, which means there are even less days left to get your Christmas present orders in. I've made it my goal over the last year to swap all of my beauty products to cruelty free brands and my Christmas list this year is no exception.
