Searching out thoughtful presents can be real tough.
Here’s some cool gift ideas to inspire the attitude of gratitude.
BOOKSHOP.ORG
Need a gift for page-turners, dreamers & book-devourers? Give a great book & support real independent bookshops at the same time. Bookshop.org shares profits with local booksellers, keeping high-street shops alive while delivering brilliant reads straight to your door.
WILDLIFE TRUST
The Wildlife Trusts’ shop is full of nature-loving presents that support conservation projects across the UK. From kids’ tees to wildlife guides, every purchase helps protect habitats and the creatures who live in them. A proper feel-good gift.
FOREST BATHING
Christmas can be stressful. Slow down. Sink in. Soak. Our Bath Soak & Forest Candle are made for winter evenings that need a little calm. Plant-based, low-waste, refillable and properly relaxing. A tiny forest, bottled.
TILLINGHAM WINES
If you’re gifting wine, make it something thoughtful. Tillingham make low-intervention, soil-loving English wines on a regenerative farm in Sussex. Organic principles, proper craft, delicious bottles.
BEER52
For the beer-curious. Beer52 curate boxes from independent breweries, shining a light on the makers behind the hops. A great way to support small producers while tasting your way around the world (without the flights).
AMUSE LA BOUCHE
Small, independent, female owned business, creating happily unconventional homeware full of colour, character and all very giftable. Think bold prints, playful candles, joyful accessories and handmade pieces you won’t see anywhere else.
RECORD LOVERS
A perfect gift for anyone who thinks in albums, not algorithms. Not sure what to get that musical magpie in your life? Get them Beat Drops so they can keep their collection sounding crisp. Drop needle. Sit back. Listen.
REDEMPTION ROASTERS
More than great coffee. Redemption Roasters run roastery training inside UK prisons, helping people build skills and find work after release. Give coffee that tastes good & does good.
SURI
We’re fans. If you’ve not switched yet, do. SURI make fully repairable, recyclable electric toothbrushes that look great, work better and last longer. A brilliant gift for someone who wants good design & low waste without compromise.
HONEYWELL BAKES
Our dear friends Honeywell Bakes make delicious hand-decorated biscuits made in small batches down the road from us (Northants). Proper craft, seasonal designs, big flavour. The kind of gift that everyone will love.
BOLD BEANS
We must admit we’re converted bean obsessives. Once you’ve tasted these, there’s no going back. Bold Beans works directly with small farms to grow insanely flavourful legumes that make quick meals properly good. Brilliant for food lovers, sustainable cooks and “what’s for dinner?” panic-ers.
MÜLL CLUB
For 2 years running Müll Club has made it on to our stocking fillers gift list. We love a good circular story, and Müll Club nail it. Their moulded soap dishes are made from recycled waste plastics and these limited-edition Christmas creations are cool, sustainable & will bring a bit of year-round shimmer into your home.
