Sherpa Adventure Gear
If you are looking for an eco friendly gift for your loved one then Sherpa Adventure Gear have some beautiful pieces covering a range of budgets for both adults and children. Sherpa Adventure Gear was founded in May 2003 by Tashi Sherpa, as a living memorial to the unsung heroes of Mt. Everest. Inspired by the spiritual lifestyle and rich culture of Nepal, where the locals greet newcomers with an open mind, joyful heart, and humble soul and when you buy from them you are also helping to gift a child too as Sherpa provide a day at school for a Nepali child every time one of their items is purchased.
There are lots of products to choose from but we really love the unisex Tarcho Quarter Snap Pullover. They are made from 100% recycled polyester and independently certified by OEKO-TEX® for safe and responsible production. They are currently available in sizes XS to XXL and you can choose from three colours red, white and blue meaning there is a pullover for everyone. They are super soft and oh so cozy, perfect for the winter months.

Green People Beauty Products
Green People are one of my all time favourite eco friendly brands. We use their products often and buy them as gifts throughout the year too. They have so much choice available that when it comes to treating yourself and your loved ones, the only difficult thing is knowing when to stop adding products to your basket!

Sustainable Yoga Mat
If the person your are shopping for this Christmas like yoga as well as being eco friendly then how about treating them to an eco friendly yoga mat bag like the ones from Equilibrium Lifestyle. There are a range of colours and designs to choose from with something for everyone and as each one is a one of a kind handcraft bag it will truly be a unique gift. Every yoga mat bag is thoughtfully handcrafted from a curated mix of upholstery fabric remnants and rescued textiles preventing them from being sent to landfill and instead giving them a second life.
Luxury Homeware
If your loved one is house proud and loves their luxury homeware then why not treat them to some beautiful and unique Ida-Lilja round coasters from Nina D. They come in these fantastic viva magenta pink tones with a superior gloss finish. Meticulously hand-illustrated, the designs are inspired by Nina’s treasured Scandinavian upbringing and family traditions.
Each coaster is handcrafted in England from sustainably sourced eucalyptus board. They are heat resistant up to 140 degrees and have a non slip cork backing to protect your surfaces.
You can also purchase matching serving trays and placemats if you’d prefer to get them (or yourself) a full set.
Which ever eco friendly gifts you choose for your loved ones this year we hope you have an amazing Christmas!
