eco gift ideas enterprise - part 1
So much #ecogiftsday enterprise on #UKGiftAM last weekend that we’re splitting our review into parts.
We asked UK indies and creatives to demonstrate their eco-friendly gift ideas and practices on Twitter and we were treated to something of an environmental epiphany.
Here we highlight (clockwise from top left):
- Unique dolls with attitudes from Sheffield recycler extraordinaire DollsWithAttitudes. “All my dolls are made completely from #plasticfree #recycled fabrics,” said creative Jane Blake.
- Zero waste pendant from Wirral polymer clay artist IndigoCreate. “When I make a galaxy veneer for my silhouettes I sometimes have some clay left over,” said Jen Shelton. “Instead of throwing it, I use it in these pendants.”
- Lampshade made with reclaimed and recycled coffee sacks from Aberdeen #ethical venture and social enterprise Highland Wolf. “Almost everything we sell is handmade using reclaimed and recycled materials. All of our suppliers are small makers, crafters and businesses.”
- Range of natural, handmade, vegan and cruelty free skincare products from Loughborough hypoallergenic cleaning and personal care hub The Cleaning Cabinet. “We partner with like-minded small businesses to bring top-notch eco alternatives.”
- And ending this review on a high note, as it were, an exclusive music pendant made from vintage sheet music by Wiltshire creator of quirky, upcycled gifts and goodies MooseintheMint.
Watch this space for more examples of #shopindie eco gift inspiration.
