In times past, putting together a ‘sustainable gift guide’ was a bit of a slog. It was honestly pretty difficult to find items that were as chic as they were ethical. And don’t even try to factor in affordability in that too—anything that was worth having always meant parting with a lot of cash. Good news, then, as all the below 30 items I’ve found are ideal for the fashion-lover and they just so happen to be sustainable as well. Happily, most of the big online retailers have sustainable sections, making it much easier to find the best stuff around. But, if you’re looking for smaller UK-based brands, I’ve got those in there too.
Expect to find clothing and accessories, with a few choice beauty bits and interiors too (because we’re all obsessed with homewares right now). I’ve divided it up into budgets as I know everyone is being careful right now but it also proves my point that just because something is sustainable doesn’t mean it has to cost a month’s rent. Ultimately, I chose pieces that I would also love to receive in my stocking, so keep scrolling for my favourite sustainable gift ideas.
