The Mindful Gift Guide

Being eco-conscious consumers means we not only think about the perfect gift but about its provenance and its journey in the long term.

Who doesn’t love seeing a face light up as a loved one unwraps our gift?

Giving releases endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine giving us a sense of pleasure. Neurologists suggest that our brain is wired to deliver pleasure from giving.

Have you noticed the lift in spirit around Christmas or Birthdays? It’s the Joy of Giving.

Giving is a great way to boost relationships between one another and carries lots of subtle emotional benefits to both giver and receiver – so when you are gifting, do it thoughtfully and with intent rather than just because!

The Problem

One of the biggest consumerism seasons is upon us – this brings pressure to bulk buy with tempting discounts, for things we may not even want or need!

The Stats

‘According to our survey of 2,009 British adults, we estimate that over 21 million (50.77%) of us receive at least one unwanted gift each Christmas. There’s even 1 in 10 (9.26%) of us who have deliberately bought someone a gift they knew they wouldn’t like.'

Embrace the art of gifting:

Don’t you agree that a gift should carry meaning as it is a non-verbal way to express feelings and appreciation for one another? A simple gesture of generosity like a gift, big or small assures a lift in morale and creates a deeper connection.

Sustainable giving:

Being eco-conscious consumers means we not only think about the perfect gift but about its provenance and its journey in the long term. A circle of mindfulness and care that will benefit us, our loved ones and our planet.

Our tips for finding the perfect sustainable gift:

Make it useful:

a single-use gift is not sustainable and will soon be ditched. It’s easy to find something that can be used over and over or to gift an “experience” that will create good memories.

Sentimental value:

find something with a meaning to create a lovely lasting connection to be treasured.

With purpose:

the gift of self-care. How about something that allows that person to slow down and take care of them?

The Origin:

look for handcrafted gifts as they carry a story and care.

Materials:

choose materials that don’t cost the earth and can be recycled or repurposed.

Own-made:

creativity is priceless. Make something yourself to add a personal unique touch.

Regifting:

Your mindful choice will make the gifting a transformational and fulfilling experience for you and others.
