From £38, petalon.co.uk 10 ideas for greener gifting 1 Go for the indies Support independent retailers where possible. Buy local to save on delivery costs (financial and ecological) and support your community; with small online shops you’re often buying from an individual maker. 2 Avoid plastic Instead, look for recycled and recyclable materials: wood, paper, card. 3 Embrace vintage Charity shops are great sources for one-off presents: look for board games, jewellery, books, handbags and silk scarves. Clean anything that smells a bit fusty, and package it up beautifully. 4 Check for eco credentials Websites usually detail a company’s sustainability practices. If it doesn’t, ask about provenance, suppliers, charities they support, use of renewable energy. If nothing else, it might make them think. 5 Have a spending cap Take the pressure off and agree to a family limit. Consider buying fewer – but more meaningful – gifts. 6 Packaging Be conscious of how much comes with a product, what can be recycled, and what will end up in landfill. 7 Get creative Homemade gifts can be wonderful: make food (jam or chutney, sweets, biscuits); get kids to make something for a grandparent; get out the knitting needles. 8 Ask someone what they really want Avoids
