If, like me, you are embracing being more eco friendly and sustainable, do you struggle with finding presents? I do. I don’t like unnecessary waste and I don’t want to buy products that harm the planet, if I can avoid it. But, and I’m sure you’ll agree, searching for the perfect eco friendly gift is really time consuming isn’t it? Do you ever wish someone would just do it for you?
Well, here’s the great news, I have! I figured as I was searching anyway, I should write down the best things I found so I could share them with you.
So, if you’re looking for brilliant gift ideas and you want to make more eco friendly choices whilst supporting small businesses then I think you’ll love the eco friendly gift ideas I’ve come up with for this post.
All products are from UK small businesses on Etsy, but if you are in another country, just click on any of the product links and then type in similar words found on that product in the Etsy search. This should help you find similar products and you can filter the search for your country.
I hope you’ll enjoy these ideas and find some really great independent wee shops to support, who are all doing an amazing job in bringing incredible planet friendly sustainable alternatives for us to choose instead.

- Giving a new I-Phone for Christmas? While we can’t make that an eco-friendly gift, but we definitely can accessorize it with a planet friendly case. I had no idea this even existed, check out this 100% biodegradable and compostable I-Phone case by WildCaseUK. It’s available for a variety of I-Phone models and the price is very reasonable too. I asked if they will expand into other popular phone makes too and guess what? It’s a big hooray, yes they are, with further product ranges coming in 2021.
