Eco-Friendly Gift Guide

November 19, 2021

Eco-Friendly Gift Guide

 

We all know that warm feeling that comes from discovering the perfect gift for someone we love. The excitement of taking it home, carefully wrapping it in paper and waiting impatiently for it to be opened. Seeing their eyes light up and hearing them whisper ‘How did you know?’  

Giving really is better than receiving, especially when you’ve found the perfect gift you know they’ll love. Discover that special present to bring them joy with our Eco-Friendly Gift Guide.

 

Entertaining Gifts

 

1. Anara Champagne Glasses

Treat them to our beautiful Anara Champagne glasses, which have been skilfully etched by hand to create a truly unique and elegant finish they’ll love. Perfect for bringing out on special occasions. These glasses are made from recycled glass - a process that uses approximately 30% less emissions than making new glass. 

2. Simi Artisan Ceramics 

Beautiful ceramics make every meal feel special and remind your recipient to slow down and make the most of everyday moments. This collection is one they can add to themselves over time, so you can buy a few pieces to start their story. The reactive glaze of the Simi collection creates a unique finish, ensuring no two pieces are exactly the same, so this gift will be as individual as your recipient. 

3. Mbata Cluster Candelabra 

Everyone needs a beautiful candelabra to bring out to impress guests and create a cosy sense of ambience. Our striking Mbata candelabra is hand forged and bears the tool marks of the handcrafting process, making it extra special. The varying heights and overall scale of this piece make it a truly stand out gift they’ll be thanking you for years later.  

 glassware and tableware

 

Home Styling Gifts 

 

1. Baba Glass Lamp

A home can never have enough lamps, especially when they are as beautifully crafted as our bestselling Baba lamps. A forever favourite that your recipient will be delighted to receive. The recycled glass is skilfully hand blown, creating an organic smooth finish. You can also add a Dia lampshade in a choice of three colours: Stone, Ink or Rust to suit their home.  

2. Nalla Velvet Armchair

For the ultimate luxury home gift, choose our Nalla velvet armchair. The warm ochre tones and sumptuously soft velvet material combine in an elegant and comfortable armchair, crafted from a sustainable mango wood frame. It’s so beautiful that you’re likely to want one for yourself too. 

3. Eluru Lantern

The Eluru lantern makes a striking addition to any room, even when its not lit, and adds instant ambience when it is. The sustainable mango wood base has been handcrafted by our artisans in India. Mango wood is highly sustainable due to its cultivation as a fruit tree. Mango trees grow quickly, maturing after 15 years and farmers plant new ones before the older trees become barren, creating a sustainable cycle of plantation and harvest that is much more eco-friendly.

 cushions and candlesticks

 

Gifts for Gourmands  

 

1. Kossi Storage Jars 

Help them Marie Kondo their pantry and store their cupboard staples in a functional way that looks beautiful. Our Kossi storage jars are made from hammered recycled glass and natural sustainable mango wood. The accompanying wooden spoons are a special extra touch they’ll love.

2. Recycled Glass Cake Stand 

Help them live their Star Baker dreams with our beautiful handmade cake stand. Whether they’re showing off their showstopper brownies, birthday cakes or even a selection of cheeses, this cake stand will make them feel like a true professional.  

3. Kasa Marble Serving Board 

A beautiful serving board is an ideal gift for anyone who enjoys time in the kitchen. The smooth varied tones of the marble on our Kasa board are well-suited to serving breads and cheeses, while the brass border adds elegance. 

 gifts for cooks

 

For Those Who Have Everything

 

1. Alu Advent Calendar

This elegant piece is destined to become a family tradition. Crafted from brass and mirrored glass, the compartments are perfect for displaying little treats and keepsakes, which they can personalise. A truly lovely gift they’ll treasure forever.  

2. Chara Hammered Bottle 

This large striking vase is a classic, timeless gift that will be the star of their home for years to come. The recycled glass has an attractive hammered detail that compliments the handcrafted brass neck. Effortlessly stylish yet understated enough to suit any home. Also available in a smaller size.

3. Tama Jewellery Box 

For jewellery-lovers, there’s no better gift than an artisan-made, decorative jewellery box. The perfect place for them to store all their treasures, our unique jewellery boxes are handcrafted from brass using traditional techniques. A truly special gift.
