Conscious gifting ideas for Christmas
If you want to shop consciously this Christmas, then we've taken the pain out of searching with our Christmas round-up of sustainable gifts celebrating the spirit of the season and the joy of cherished rituals. And this year, we’re showcasing some amazing brands from Buy Women Built - a community of entrepreneurs which promotes unique and successful brands founded by women - to give you loads of different Christmas gift inspiration.

So if you’re looking for a change from the usual Amazon gift card or same old M&S male grooming kit to show you’ve gone the extra mile, our guide of curated picks is all about giving you a fabulous choice from eco-friendly bottles to vegan gift boxes, luxury handmade biscuits and so much more.

Toolally

Toolally is an independent, family run jewellery brand with its roots in Yorkshire. It was founded by Creative Director and unashamed fashion-obsessive Mags Walker in 2016 after experiments with home-made jewellery led to a chance meeting with the then-Fashion Director of British Vogue.

Guava & Gold

Our own luxury collection of bath and body products with ethical credentials, inspired by heady reflections of the tropics and a desire to capture unforgettable, exotic holiday memories in a bottle. Drawing on the expertise, flair and imagination of an international fine fragrance house, we’ve used the distinctive scents of tropical fruits and flowers including delicious guava, fragrant pink magnolia and enchanting orange and plum blossom.

Out Of The Box Gifts

 

Started in 2017 by Zoe, Out of the Box Gifts followed her own love of ethical gifting. Anytime there was a cause for celebration or a reason to show someone that she was thinking of them, she'd pull together her own ethical vegan gift box - a sweet little package full of personalised treats. And so she decided to turn her passion into a living, breathing business which you can now love too.

Hair Loving

 

 

Wanting to deliver clean and simple solutions to everyday hair problems, professional hairstylist, Nadia, developed a hair oil for hydration and hair growth using botanical ingredients and began selling them from home.

Once she sold her first 100 units, Nadia quickly realised there was indeed a place on the market for her hair oil and decided to launch more widely just as the pandemic was emerging. From there, her business has grown.
