This year, we're thinking about conscious gifting. Choose experiences over material things—not only will create a forever memory but you'll be helping the earth by not purchasing something not needed that could end up in landfill.

Try to choose eco-friendly and sustainable options especially when it comes to kids toys. So often children's toys are full of tiny plastic pieces that become lost or quickly discarded. Consider plastic alternatives, the life cycle of the gift, can it be re-purposed after it's intended use? One quality toy made from sustainable materials can replace multiple plastic toys that don't last.

Utilise your creative cooking skills and bake Christmas shortbread or rum balls. Place them in a repurposed glass jar, wrap the lid with fabric offcuts, and reused ribbons.

What's your go-to sustainable gift idea?
