3 easy & sustainable last-minute gift ideas
‘Tis the season to be sustainable and joyful! Whether for Christmas or a birthday, here are three easy and sustainable last-minute gift ideas.
1.The charity shop gift card
The Charity Shop Gift Card is #agiftcardforgood that can be used across multiple charity stores in the UK. It’s a social enterprise so a minimum of 65% of their profits will go towards funding free gift cards to people who need them. This is the perfect gift for introducing a friend or family member to second-hand shopping in a fun way and giving them access to different charity shops across the UK. From Crisis to Shelter and loads of other charity shops, everyone can find a shop near them.
2. A susty brand gift card
Lots of people struggle to find sustainable brands to replace their fast fashion ones, so why not help by introducing them to a cool brand they might love? Truth is sustainable brands can be expensive so it’s a great way to help them make a purchase they’ll cherish for years to come. A great approach is a gift card for something most people won’t buy secondhand like underwear brands Organic Basics or Under Protection.
