A Christmas as green as a tree: our zero waste gift ideas
In this very special Christmas, we wanted to look for gifts to do good for ourselves, for our loved ones but also for our beautiful planet. Zero waste gifts, very soft, close to us, to get together differently and sow the seeds of a greener world under the tree. Here are some lovely ideas to inspire you.
A gift to relax
More and more brands are offering clothing or decoration made from responsible and recycled materials. Among them we really like kangaroo throws, very soft throws into which you slip like a baby for entire evenings of cocooning.
Gift card
An accessory to make everything shine
Synthetic sponges get dirty quickly, smell bad and are filled with non-recyclable plastic. What if you offered an eco-friendly sponge? Washable, reusable, made of natural fibers, they come in all colors and styles!
Squares for soft skin
Attention coquettes, removing makeup no longer rhymes with waste. To get a new look, the trend is towards washable and super soft makeup remover wipes and squares. We find them in pretty boxes for the holidays.
A relaxing gift
What's more comforting in winter than a hot shower with delicious or spicy scents? At Christmas, offer a DIY soap kit: those interested can play apprentice chemists and create their own custom soaps, for extraordinary bathroom moments.
An invitation to kiss
Is your man not a hipster? Replace your irritating disposable razors and aerosol foams with an elegant, zero-waste shaving set. A gift that is gentle for his skin, gentle for yours and for nature!
An ode to femininity
Healthy, soft, comfortable and discreet, menstrual panties will soon be under every skirt. Or under all the trees! For your daughter or your best friend, slip in this piece of ecological and original lingerie. This year at Smoon we have chosen to put Selene (the goddess of the Moon) in the spotlight, with limited edition period panties and 3 beautiful scented candles. Audacity, Love and Dream, they accompany each moment of the feminine cycle, echoing our beautiful satellite. A 100% feel good box. And for more freedom, we also offer you a nice gift card.
A moment out of time
For a zero waste Christmas, also think about non-material gifts! Offer a dance course, a ceramics course, permaculture course. Or an unusual stay in nature: yurt, glamorous caravan, weekend on the farm... A different moment to reconnect with our beautiful blue planet.
A 100% natural game
Are there any players in the family? It's time to discover a collaborative game together, on ecology and zero waste living for example! Or a “nature challenge” game mixing strategy and environmental awareness. They are trendy and can be found among green and ethical brands or labels.
A zero waste bible
Healthy reading for a healthy planet? There are plenty of books on the theme of zero waste! Tips and great ideas to change our habits a little, take care of ourselves and our environment.
And to wrap it all up?
Made from recycled fibers and covered with flower or plant seeds to sow, seeded papers offer a green and poetic way to wrap your gifts. There are also cards, placemats, seed bookmarks and sowing calendars. Let’s bring flowers to everyone!
