A note from Grace
Giving, slowly
Every piece here comes from a brand I have researched or reviewed, and most are from Nkuku, whose fair trade approach I looked at closely in my review. I have kept the edit small on purpose. Christmas does not need more stuff; it needs a few lovely things that will be used and treasured.
Grace
Gifts under £50
Ethical jewellery and keepsakes under £50
Handmade pieces with natural stones and warm metals, from nkuku’s gifting range.
Stocking fillers
Little gifts under £25
Small, useful and lovely to unwrap, from candle snuffers to mini stockings.
For the host
Glassware for festive gatherings
Hammered tumblers, champagne flutes and jugs for the table, from nkuku. You can read about their recycled glassware in my review.
Candles and scent
Cosy candles and diffusers
Seasonal scents like juniper and fir, with reclaimed wood holders and lanterns for slow winter evenings.
Natural decorations
Christmas decorations made from natural materials
Mango wood, jute, recycled wool and recycled glass, for a calm, coastal Christmas that you can bring out year after year.
Cosy bedding
Winter bedding for cosy nights
Brushed organic cotton bedding for chilly nights, plus best-selling linen and a quilted throw from Secret Linen Store.
The big gift
Statement pieces for the home
An armchair, a mirror, a desk and more from Atkin and Thyme, including some of their current best sellers. I love their designs but had questions about how sustainable they are, so read my review before you buy.
