When it comes to sustainable gifting, it can be hard to know where to start. Here at Urban List, we believe sustainable gifting is more than just checking off a list of eco-friendly criteria. It’s about making conscious and considered choices when deciding what to buy and give.
From supporting small, local businesses to shopping with socially conscious and sustainable brands, this guide highlights the art of intentional gift-giving. Whether you're aiming for a more considered Christmas or searching for the perfect present for someone who values sustainability, this curated list is a great starting point.
