Get crafty
Another option for sustainable giving is making gifts yourself.
Biscuits and preserves are a good place to start, and slabs of White Christmas slice or coconut ice are always appreciated.
If cooking isn’t your thing, grab some large mason jars and layer them with the dry ingredients needed to make brownies. Write out the recipe and tie it around your jar with a festive ribbon for a nice finishing touch.
Outside the kitchen, you could pot up some seedlings, create your own candles or even make your own bath bombs.
You can also give the gift of your time and create vouchers for services like babysitting, car-washing, house-cleaning, gardening or dog-walking.
