If you’ve been looking for sustainable gift ideas from small businesses, look no further. I’ve compiled a list of my personal favourite and also some community picks (the second half of the list. I’m not making any money from this blog post (apart from the link to my presets) and nothing is sponsored. There is only one affiliate link which is the Selk Bag.

My main goal is to inspire people to have a more sustainable Christmas AND to show support to this amazing community of small business owners!

Soul Crafts

I recently reviewed the most beautiful gift from Zoe and I will cherish these necklaces forever. The time and effort that must have gone into the making of these! Very impressive.

Suri Toothbrushes

https://www.trysuri.com

Jake and I switched over to these sustainable electric toothbrushes just under a year ago and they have been amazing! The case charges them up and the battery lasts a whole month. They also have a UV light in the case which cleans the bristles. We absolutely love them.

SunSup Paddle Boards

https://sunsupboards.com

You all know how much I love my paddle board. I mean, how beautiful is this!? An absolute essential for van life, I can’t imagine being parked up next to a lake without one. I still can’t believe I actually own the most beautiful paddle board i’ve ever seen.

Dick Pearce Belly Boards

How beautiful are these?! Small enough to take around with you and fun enough for endless beach days! I LOVE playing around in the waves.

Grown Clothing

If you’re looking for good quality staples for your wardrobe that are organic and soft, this brand is perfect! Jake and I both have a few items from Grown. So excited to get more use out of them in the spring time.

Vivo Barefoot

https://www.vivobarefoot.com/uk/

If you’ve followed me on instagram for a while you might know that I put all of my faith into barefoot shoes when embarking on big hikes. When I know i’m going to be on my feet all day or covering a lot of rocky terrain these are the shoes I reach for! I have a few pairs including thermal winter ones. Love them.

Selk Bag

https://www.selkbag.co.uk

I initially got this for a camping trip, but now i’ve been wearing it every night to bed, and every day in the van, oops! Jake and I wouldn’t be without one now, its saved us from stealing the duvet off each other in the night. There are so many cool features like the little boots that zip on and off, a build in face cover in the back of the hood, sealable arms so your hands don’t get cold. They are amazing.

Ottaway The Label

https://www.ottwaythelabel.com

I’ve been wearing Ottway for years. Love the style and the quality. I don’t think i’ve ever got so many “where is that jacket from?” than when I wear this.

MTNest Crafts

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MTNestCardsandCrafts

These little handmade map fairy lights were made by my mum! She creates them out of little plastic shot glasses that would have otherwise gone to landfill. She makes all kinds of designs and colours. She can make anything out of anything! I highly recommend checking out her bottle lamps too!

sheisthelostgirl Photo Presets

https://www.sheisthelostgirl.com/shop

After literally years and years of trying to create the perfect presets, I finally have. I’m so proud of them. I’m so grateful or all of the lovely feedback i’ve had about them! They come with a tutorial on how to get them onto your phone or desktop and also a mini editing tutorial.

From The Community

Beautiful small business treasures from the community!

I couldn’t include every single suggestion unfortunately as there were so many! But I’ve compiled a few of them and WOW. What gems you guys have found/ created!

If something intrigues you, have a cheeky look on the website, you never know what you’ll find!
