To put it simply: giving feels good. But, it can feel even better.

Whether you’re hoping to minimise your impact on the environment or you’re buying for an eco-conscious loved one, opting for an eco-friendly gift benefits everyone involved.

With so many brands not only going green but also giving back in their manufacturing process, gift giving has become an even greater feel-good act in recent years.

Gone too are the days of eco-friendly brands being labelled drab or daggy as the eco-conscious movement grows, with everyone from big name brands to underground designers making a conscious change.
