As much as we would all love to have sorted our Christmas presents before now, we recognise that life often gets in the way. So here is our gift guide for your loved ones which wont cost the earth, but are available at short notice!

1) Y.O.U Underwear Organic Cotton and Eco Elastic scrunchies (£5)

 3) Leiho Christmas sock cracker (from £25)

5) A handmade gift such as baked goods or crafts (Free!!)

 

One of the most sustainable (and most affordable) ways to embrace the giving season this year is to use what you already have at home and make something unique for those you love! Who doesn't love a fresh batch of Christmas cookies or a thoughtful craft!
