Sustainable and Ethical Christmas Gift Ideas for Him, Her & the Kids
The holiday season is a perfect time to practice and advocate for conscious consumption and to gift with purpose. In the gift of giving, we can support small businesses and share the joy of ethical, empowering, natural, artisanal, and sustainable products created with heart and soul.
Imagine the look on your brother’s face as he discovers the smooth, sexy lines of a handplane carved from sustainably harvested timber when he unwraps his gift. Or think of the smile on your partner’s face as she runs her hands over the smooth, buttery soft surface of a handbag made from the cactus leather. Hear the giggle of your little one as they play with their new soccer ball, knowing that another kid on the other side of the world is doing the exact same thing.
With delivery deadlines looming (Dec 12th to be exact), it’s important to get your Christmas shopping done as early as possible. That’s why we’ve put together this handy list of the sustainable and ethical Christmas presents to share with the men, women and little ones in your life.
Every item in the Nash + Banks collection holds the love and passion of the ones who made it - craftsmen working with raw materials from the earth in light-filled studios, designers who have spent years innovating to ensure their products cause no harm, creatives who are driven by the fiery urge to give back to the planet and change the world we live in. We hope you love them just as much as we do!
