It’s that time of year again! Many of us are ready for a little bit of Christmas cheer after such a difficult year- I know my decorations went up a LOT earlier than normal this time. December can also be a stressful month, dashing around the shops, mindlessly purchasing presents for the sake of it.

BUT what if it didn’t have to be that way? Rather than buying gifts from large corporate retailers you could be purchasing online from small sustainable businesses. Supporting the brands that have struggled the most this year while having a more positive impact on people and the planet.

So pause, take a deep breath, and check out the sustainable small businesses you can shop online for a more mindful Christmas shopping experience…

Ash and Rose — 1. Ash & Rose

Ash & Rose is a female owned business with a focus on accessible sustainability. On their online ethical and sustainable boutique they sell clothing made from low-impact, organic, upcycled and recycled materials as well as sustainable and ethically made gifts.
We’ve made your Christmas present search easier and selected our favorite affordable gift giving ideas from their website for you!

MATE THE LABEL — 2. Mate The Label

One of my absolute favorite brands right now is Mate the Label, a clean essentials brand made in LA. Specializing in the comfiest, softest organic basics, a gift from Mate would certainly put a smile on your friend or loved one’s faces.
What’s more, they recently launched ‘Mini Mate’, their new kids-wear range full of gorgeous mini me soft and breathable basics, the perfect gift for any little ones in your life.
Looking for smaller gifts? Mate also have just launched a new organic sock pack, as well as their pack of organic face masks.

ALIMINA CONCEPT — 3. Almina Concept

Made from mostly environmentally friendly fabrications, Almina Concept is a contemporary brand with elevated and modern design at its core., with the goal of being more accessible than your average luxury label.
While not every garment is sustainable, the vast majority of Almina Concept’s styles are and they’re committed to zero plastic packaging. Everything is made at mom and pop factories in South Korea.
These timeless pieces make an incredible gift for someone special (or as treat to yourself!)
