The Ultimate Sustainable Gift Guide for Christmas or any Festive

Gifts! Most people love them! Really love them! What an amazing moment when we give or receive a gift.

Depending on the occasion or holiday, the intention and the excitement; gifts are surrounded by an entire process.

What to give, when, how and where. Knowing the person for or as a surprise. There is a need to please the person you love or surprise the beloved ones. For kids, adults, teens, or for your own kids and their excitement.

All around the world, gifts exist for a reason, for a purpose and with an intention.

Industries around the world, have been benefited with this custom or tradition. And so we have been also benefited by these industries and these customs and traditions.

Nowadays, these industries have also made a huge change and adaptation to please us in a different manner. A more sustainable or ecological way in…everyway.

We are a lot more conscious, about what is happening to our planet and our surroundings. We should care and take good care of the place we live in. Small details are important as the big ones. Making changes and adapting ourselves to all of this has been an enormous learning.

But I also believe that becoming aware of reality, has led us to be more grateful, show gratitude and value to the things that matter the most.

Being honest, I truly think that we see the world with new eyes, we take days seriously and maybe not for granted, we know that still having elements that are vital for us are the most valuable.

So for these “reality bites”, industries know that consuming has become aware of our living treasure, that knowing and teaching and setting an example, offers not only conscious along with empathy but also great new opportunities.

Here are 60 sustainable gifts and brands for you to have options and indulge the ones you love with a taste and teaching of beautiful consciousness:
