Homemade Cards

If you're on a tight budget this year, consider crafting your own homemade card instead of purchasing from big greetings card companies.

You might worry that creating a homemade card isn't eco-friendly due to the extra material and paper used. However, by making a recycled card, you can minimise waste and give new life to old cards that would otherwise be discarded or forgotten in storage. Simply gather your favourite cards from past birthdays or celebrations and repurpose them into a unique creation. Selecting cherished pictures, colours, and patterns, you can assemble a brand new card that's both personal and environmentally conscious.

Your giftee will appreciate the thoughtfulness behind this handmade gesture, all while reducing your impact on the planet. Give the gift of creativity and sustainability with a homemade recycled card.

Compost Bin

While gifting a bin may not initially sound thrilling, you can add some flair to this eco-conscious present by selecting a vibrant colour or playful pattern for your giftee. For those seeking to enhance their recycling routine in the upcoming year, this stylish compost bin is a perfect addition to any eco-friendly kitchen.

Composting not only benefits the planet by reducing waste but also contributes to sustainable living. With its attractive design and practical functionality, what's not to love about this eco-friendly gift?
