Five Christmas Present Ideas for the Sustainable Shopper

Kiht Collective

For the girl who wants to sweat sustainably.

Kiht Collective is a sustainable activewear brand based in Manchester. It boasts sustainable values and transparency, buying waste materials from their factories to recycle them, as well as planting a tree for every order!

They offer a range of activewear and accessories in lots of colours, there really is something for everyone! With prices on par with giants such as sportswear giant Nike, but more sustainable practices, Kiht Collective is perfect for the planet-conscious gym girl in your life.

Korres

For the ones who want to go green and glow.

Korres is a natural Greek skincare brand, who create close to 100% natural skincare. It uses a variety of technical processes to ensure as much sustainable practice as possible – all too science-y for me!

Offering a range of products for skin, hair, body, and fragrance, Korres has something for the skincare geeks and the haircare lovers. With amazing scents including Santorini Grape, Wild Rose, and Greek Yoghurt there are a multitude of options, suitable for men and women.

On the Korres site, customers can build their own skincare or body care bundle with a 15% discount, perfect for Christmas gifting.

The price point is similar to that of L’Occitane, however Korres offers a sustainable journey with its products.

Lush

For the ones who want a sustainable soak.

Lush Cosmetics is always a winner when it comes to Christmas presents, especially for the bath lovers. The snow fairy scent is iconic, offered in bath bombs, bubble bars, shower gels and lots more. However, they have some underrated Christmassy scents such as Yog-Nog – a beautiful golden caramel scent. Lush also offers Christmas bundles in a variety of scents, customers can even customise their own gift box online.

Lush products aren’t just for women – they have gorgeous scents for men too! Lush don't aim their products at women or men, however some of their more masculine products include dirty Spingwash shower gel, Lord of Misrule perfume and Dirty shaving cream.

A fun gift for any bath lover is Lush’s new intuitive bath light, the Bath Bot. Users can pair their bath bot with their favourite bath bomb from Lush, and the Bath Bot will create an audio-visual experience based on the chosen bath bomb, taking baths time to the next level!

Wild

For the ones that keep it fresh and green.

Wild are best known for their natural deodorant, but they offer a variety of other refillable products designed for men and women! Similarly to Lush, Wild does not categorise its scents by gender, but here are some favourites for both:

For women, a few favourite deodorant scents are Cherry Blossom, Coconut and Vanilla, and the Christmas exclusive scent: Sugar Plum Fairy. All of these scents are also available in body washes, so your loved ones can double up on their favourite fragrances.

For men, some favourite deodorant scents are Thunderstorm, Lemon Basil and Blood Orange, and the Christmas scent: Arctic Ice: Santa’s Grotto. The perfect pair to the Lemon Basil and Blood Orange deodorant is the Amber and Oud body wash offering a warm scent to complement the freshness of the deodorant.

All of Wild’s products are refillable, and the cases can be engraved with the user’s name, making them the perfect gift idea for eco-conscious friends and family.
