CELEBRATE A GREEN CHRISTMAS: YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ECO-FRIENDLY GIFTING THIS YEAR
I introduced you to a few of the Green Gift Sets in last month’s Christmas Gift Guide. This is part two of the gift guide where I’ll be sharing some of your favourites from the recent Christmas Markets.
WHY SHOULD YOU GIFT GREEN?
Embracing a green Christmas begins with making thoughtful decisions. Reduce the amount of physical waste you produce by giving eco-friendly gifts, supporting local craftspeople, and considering giving experiences rather than stuff. When wrapping gifts, use reusable materials like recycled paper or cloth furoshiki wraps to cut down on the amount of single-use plastics.
ECO EM’S CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE
I started Eco Ems to encourage people to gift green. I thought there must be a much better option than the plastic heavy, overly packaged gift sets you see throughout the high street. And I set about making a change, by collaborating with other small UK-based businesses to bring beautifully crafted gifts that are vegan-friendly, plastic-free, low tox, zero waste and perfect for those who love simple skincare.
Botanics by Eco Ems was born and three Christmases later we’re still going strong. I’ve added some beautiful scents and gifts for £20 or less to the website this year. You don’t need to worry about greenwashing with anything you buy from Eco Ems. As I have been conscientious with my supply chain, I’ve ensured all the products have been handmade and travelled minimal miles!
With that said let me show you some of my favourites….
SING IN THE SHOWER
For those who would prefer to receive their plastic-free pampering in the shower as opposed to the bath, there is the Sing in the Shower Gift Set. Even though many of us don’t have the luxury of time for a bath at home, we still want to take advantage of the relaxation that running water can provide. In addition to cleansing the skin, spending time under running water has been shown to improve mood and reduce anxiety and depression. Let’s begin the day with a song and make it the best it can be.
The gift set consists of a Body Butter Bar, Natural Loofah, Shampoo Bar with Pink Clay and Botanical Conditioner Bar and the Dragonfruit Body Scrub.

THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS SOAP SET
Our wonderful Soap Trio Gift Set is a tribute to combining natural ingredients and eco-swaps; each soap in the trio has been lovingly and carefully made. Every rich lather is a testament to our commitment to the environment and your skin health. Our half-size, handcrafted, cold-processed soaps are a celebration of the finest ingredients. We have created a rejuvenating spa experience by utilising natural oils and energising essential oils. Without any harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances, these gentle yet effective soaps are perfect for even the most sensitive skin types. Your skin will feel smooth and soft after using this soap. Arranged on our bamboo soap dishes, they are ready to gift.
You can pick this lovely gift up on the website for only £12.99 – grab yours now
WASH & GO – SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER
Since these two go together and are usually purchased as a pair, I made this little bundle. The bundle is a gorgeous stocking filler and the ideal way to pamper your hair. The bars cleanse your hair and nourish your scalp at the same time, eliminating the need for plastic. The conditioner bar’s rich argan oil can be used as a mask once a week or to add much-needed hydration to the ends of your hair.
