22 Aug Dreaming of a green Christmas? Give a gift to nature too with the Woodland Trust’s top-six eco-friendly festive gifts for 2023
If you’re dreaming of a greener Christmas and want this year’s gifts to make an impact on friends and family without making an impact on the planet, then the Woodland Trust can help.
The UK’s largest woodland conservation charity has compiled a guide to its top five eco-friendly Christmas gifts so we can all fight for a greener, healthier world this festive season.
Christmas is traditionally a time for excess – but your presents needn’t reflect that! Plus, every single purchase from the Woodland Trust shop – including Christmas cards and gift wrap – supports the Trust’s work with woods and trees, meaning you can help create healthy habitats for people and wildlife, while also ticking off items from your to-buy list.
Every product in the Trust’s Christmas range is eco-friendly, whether it’s a toy fox or a bee house made from recycled saris.
And if you’d rather move away from giving traditional gifts completely, the Woodland Trust has a selection of green ‘virtual’ gifts and unique tree and woodland dedications in woods across the UK.
Kelly Tanner, products and retail manager for the Woodland Trust said: “You can have a green Christmas this year while still giving friends and family something they’ll love.
“Our range of eco-friendly products really has something for everyone. Younger children will adore our new eco-fox – he’s so soft and cuddly and made from recycled plastics! Older kids can escape to the woods with our exciting den building kit and there’s a wide range of beautiful Woodland Trust home and garden gifts too.
“Supporting the work of the Woodland Trust as you shop is a fantastic and easy way to help fight the effects of climate change and nature loss.
“We have so many gorgeous gift ideas to inspire you and every single purchase is a gift for nature too because it helps us create thriving woods for wildlife.”
