Thank you to my friend Malene & my brother Xander for inspiring this!
Hello sweet friends! The windy days are becoming more frequent and Winter is just around the corner… but with the cold days comes the coziness of Christmas!
To help spread the festivities, I have curated an eco-friendly Christmas Gift List, so you can support small businesses and the environment, saving the world while shopping. Sustainability is something close to my heart, which is why I am working on a series to make it a more accessible and inclusive topic in the new year. To be the first to see this project & others, you can sign up to my Patreon.
The Christmas Gift Guide for Festivi-tea
Stir Crazy Virtual Pack of Cards App
Available on Google Play and the App Store, Stir Crazy is an app, invented by my brother Xander, that acts as a virtual deck of cards that you can play with friends & family, no matter how far apart you are! A great way to ensure family game nights still happen. Even better news? One person pays once, and up to 7 other people can join for free. The BEST news? I am hosting a giveaway for this app, so you can play 100% free. Check my instagram page for info, or reply to this email for a chance to win!
Tea with HB Tote Bag, £12
I have designed my own Tote-ally sustainable Tote Bag featuring my Tea with HB logo, just for you! So, you can share the podcast with a friend, use it as a wrapping paper alternative, and contribute to cutting down single-use plastic by gifting a reusable bag! Get your own Festivi-tea Tote Bag here , or gift a friend!
Complete Unity Yoga Equipment for Yoga & Meditation
Support a small family-run sustainable business and introduce your friends and family to the joy of yoga by giving them a Complete Unity Yoga eco-friendly yoga mat! I have one and have already bought two more for Christmas presents, they are simply the best. And they have a new mat out! I am jealous… Meditation Cushions and other goodies are also available! Why not celebrate by listening to our podcast episode Uni-tea if you haven’t already?
Naked Pastor Artwork
Greeting cards, prints, canvases, accessories, and apparel? David Hayward has all kinds of gifts available to order for your nearest & dearest. Also, you can listen to our podcast episode Spirituali-tea here!
The School of Life Stationery, Books & Courses
I have just discovered The School of Life and cannot recommend them highly enough! They do what they say on the tin- teach about life skills, from dating to parenting and so much more. I have ordered a few things from them as Christmas gifts (and for myself!) and am so impressed with the quality and care that goes into their products!
If you don't have money to be able to spend on gifts this year, I have also put together a few gift ideas that are 100% free. I’ll be leaving these on my blog so keep a look out for them over on Tea with HB in the coming weeks! These are, of course, the most eco friendly, as they don't even require shipping!
What do you want for Christmas? Do you have any small shops/eco friendly businesses you can recommend to me? I would love to hear from you!
Love,
