7 Eco Friendly Gift Ideas for Last Minute Presents

Christmas is almost here, we’re wrapping gifts, decorating the tree, and breaking open the mince pies. If you’ve not yet managed to cross many people off your Christmas shopping list then don’t panic! We’re here to help with our round up of the best last-minute gifts which are eco-friendly, ethical and won’t cost the Earth!

Gift vouchers, Y.O.U Underwear

If you’re cutting it fine and looking for last minute gift inspiration to strike then we’ve got you. A gift voucher for online or shopping in person is a great last-minute gift that allows someone to choose exactly what they’d love - perfect for those picky people you find so hard to buy for. We have both digital gift vouchers and physical gift cards available, so whether you want the convenience of an email or an actual card to wrap up, you can choose! 

Gift vouchers from Y.O.U Underwear mean that you can shop our entire range of organic cotton underwear and loungewear for her and him, as well as Bare Kind and Leiho socks, and even our organic cotton tea towels.

Give them the gift of choice so they can shop the below products in whichever colour or style they prefer.

Organic cotton bralettes and non-wired bras

Organic cotton men’s boxers multipacks

Organic cotton pyjamas and loungewear 

 

Divine Chocolate

Everyone loves chocolate! And at this time of year we seem to be inundated - but not always with the good stuff. Divine Chocolate’s range of premium, delicious chocolate is certified fairtrade from the beans to the sugar, right down to the vanilla used for flavouring. Not only does their chocolate stand out from the crowd in terms of flavour and quality (take a look at their dessert range) but they are also farmer owned and on a mission to end exploitation in the cocoa farming industry. 

 

Charity Donation

For another last minute gift idea, making a donation to a charity on their behalf is a thoughtful way to share the giving spirit at this time of year. You can make a donation directly to Smalls for All through their website and choose to send clean, new underwear, buy a set of underwear through them, or make a direct monetary contribution. The donation you make will directly fund the amazing work that Smalls for All do in providing underwear to people across Africa and the UK who may be struggling to access it.

 

Mini sheep felting kit, The Makerss

The perfect gift for crafty people, these mini felting kits from The Makerss are ideal for a small project over the festive period. For anyone new to felting, it's a lovely and therapeutic process that doesn't have to be perfect to look good enough to put on display! Plus they use only premium organic wool and plastic free packaging, so they're an eco-friendly choice for makers of all abilities. We love this cute mini sheep felting kit, which can even fit in a stocking. 

 

Christmas sock bauble, Bare Kind

Great for animal lovers - Bare Kind socks donate 10% of profits to charities supporting the animal on the sock, meaning you can keep your toes cosy while giving back to wildlife. All their socks are made with bamboo which is super soft and thermo-regulating, plus their colourful designs are so cute! This bauble packaging means you could even hang them on the tree!

 

Fingerless gloves, Turtle Doves or Black & Beech

Gloves always make a great present and these ones raise the bar with super soft cashmere recycled from discarded jumpers or Black & Beech's soft merino wool. Turtle Doves have a beautiful range of colours available and we love this deep blue colour. Make it more personal with Black & Beech's gloves with writing designs. Pop them in someone’s stocking or stick them under the tree for a sustainable gift that looks good!

 

Organic cotton pyjama bottoms, Y.O.U Underwear

You can’t go wrong with a pair of super cosy pyjama bottoms in these fun and unique prints that look great at Christmas time or all year round. With our flexible unisex sizing and elasticated adjustable waistband, they work for everyone. Through our Buy One Give One policy, we donate one pair of underwear to Smalls for All for every item bought so your gift can go further. Plus, all our items are packed in one of our reusable cotton bags so you don’t have to worry about wrapping! 

Happy gifting!
