To pick a truly special gift, it's time to think out of the box. As we move towards living a more sustainable life, we will focus on eco-friendly gifts. This way you get to give a loved one a unique gift, help the environment, and support businesses that aim to use sustainable practices.
6 Best Eco Friendly Gifts 2021
1) Wildflower SeedBalls
What can be a better gift for nature lovers than the power to attract nature to their garden? Wildflower Seedballs attract wildlife activity, add a beautiful touch of greenery and colour to your outdoor space while eliminating the need to open up the soil with harvesting tools. Wildflowers also act as a source of food for the birds, bees, and other creatures.
2) Large Mugs
Let’s face it. Life without a large mug is a little dull. There’s something comforting in sipping a hot drink whilst wrapped up in your favourite blanket on a cold winter's night.
If you’re looking for a beautiful mug and a more eco-friendly option, Jin Designs is where you make your stop. These are English fine bone china mugs which make them more sustainable than other imported mugs in helping to reduce our carbon footprint. These large mugs hold approximately 375ml of pure, delightful bliss. Quite the right size, wouldn’t you agree?
3) Worktop Savers
Worktops are very prone to scratches, burns, marks, and a whole lot more. It’s time to change with an eco-friendly option that will impact the look of your kitchen and tabletops in a positive way.
Introducing: Worktop Savers made from toughened, recycled glass. These are designed to protect your kitchen worktop. As a recycled product, they are also better for the environment and have been built to last.
Glass worktop savers are heat, odour, and stain-resistant. They’re multi-functional, meaning you can use them as a chopping board or as the base of a cheese platter too! Did we mention that they come in a range of designs including the legendary Sitting Cat?
4) CatLoaf Cat Scratcher Bed
Tired of covering scratches and mending furniture? Get a CatLoaf Cat Scratcher Bed. Made from premium corrugated recycled cardboard, this textured eco-friendly bed is the perfect place for your cat to put its claws to use.
It is available in 2 colours, dark grey and white. It's designed to accommodate cats of all sizes, and comes with quality organic catnip. A fine addition to any room of your house.
5) Make a Donation
Donating to a charity close to your loved one’s heart is a great way to honour the bond you share. The donation, however small, can make all the difference in someone’s life.
So when you donate to a charity in someone’s name, you’re not only acknowledging the causes close to their heart, you're also making the world a better place and opening opportunities for the less privileged. It’s a win-win.
Save the Children, Sightsavers, RSPCA, Cats Protection and Little Princess Trust are great places to start your make-a-difference journey.
6) An Experience
Don’t know what to give someone? That’s fine! Gifts don’t always have to be tangible. You can also gift someone an experience they will cherish for years to come. You can take a pottery class together, go sightseeing, explore nature with mountain biking, or make them a personalised video message.
You can also purchase a gift card that integrates with their wishlist or a well-curated subscription box. Explore the possibilities.

Eco-friendly gifts online are plentiful. It’s very easy to get lost in the magnitude of it all.
This list is to help you get a better understanding of the sustainable gifts you can give your loved ones during the festive season. We hope you will find it a good inspiration.
