As summer ends, the coffee shops roll out their fall flavours, and the weather starts getting colder, you tell yourself: “I have plenty of time to Christmas shop!”
Then, what feels like a week later, you notice every shop you walk into seems to play Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You” every five minutes. And you know when that Christmas jam never stops playing it’s time to get serious about holiday shopping!
Holiday shopping can certainly get stressful, especially when it’s last minute and you have no idea what to get anyone. The pressure of shopping at this time of year can put a damper on the magical feeling of Christmas — but stress no more! Here are some fun, unique, and eco-conscious presents you can give using Ecoswap. ๐
Unique and abstract home decor from ethiqana ๐๏ธ
I don’t know about you, but once all the holiday decorations come down, the house feels a bit sad. If you want to bring some life to your space, check out some home decor pieces from ethiqana. These pieces aren’t something you’d find at Ikea; this is decor that tells stories and is crafted with sustainable materials. Fine some vintage Kashmiri art decorative boxes, cushion covers, and more!
A recycled plastic Bluetooth speaker from gomi ๐ถ

They also make wicked cool electronic accessories like power banks and charging cables using recycled materials. ๐
An activewear set from Sลma Sportswear ๐ช
We all know a gym rat! Activewear from Sลma is made from sustainable tree fibres, and their pieces are five times softer than organic cotton, making workouts way more comfortable. As they are threaded with high quality silver yarn, they’re also anti-bacterial and anti-odour.
Freshly brewed whole leaf tea from Lemonaid & Charitea ๐ต
