Christmas is right around the corner! A beautiful time of giving – and receiving. Did you find suitable Christmas gifts for everyone? If not, don’t worry! These last-minute tips will guide you towards giving the perfect gift. And while we’re at it, why not help towards a better future at the same time?
- Give a tree or plant – A gift that helps towards a more carbon-neutral life (;
- Plan the perfect movie night – Set a date, prepare a lot of snacks, chose a few movies and create the perfect spot to chill.
- Tickets to a comedy show – And return home with a stomach ache caused by laughing!
- Give a day-pass to the spa for two – What’s better than relaxing after a hectic December month?
- Surprise with a cooking class – Why not consider a class that focusses on creating a meal without animal related products?
- Try out a new sport together – With a new year quickly approaching, why not try something new? Together is less scary then alone.
- Buy a gift card of his or her favorite coffee shop –That is definitely not a wasted gift.
- Buy a reusable travel mug – Did you know that most coffee shops will happily pour coffee in your own mug?
- Give an E-book – Maybe one that focusses on sustainability?
- Buy a gift from the thrift shop – Help towards a circular economy and help the item towards a second life!
- Plan a professional photoshoot – Who doesn’t love a set of good photo’s?
- Organize a wine tasting event at home – Wine is always a good idea!
- A GuppyFriend washbag – Collect the nylon- and plastic microfibers from your clothing before it escapes to our sewage system (and eventually in our seas).
- Plan a whole day of surprises – It all starts with a road trip to an unknown destination…
- Donate to a charity – If your loved one doesn’t care that much about receiving Christmas gifts, why not make a donation in their name?
Don’t you agree that we already own too much? We live in an economy that almost forces us to buy stuff we don’t really need. As a result, our discarded junk fills up our a good part of our Earth’s surface. So why not give less? And if it’s expected of you to give a (materialistic) gift – be thoughtful and give something useful. Besides, what if I asked you to answer this question: what is the most important aspect of Christmas? No, it’s not the Christmas gifts. Spending time with loved ones, isn’t it?

I have actually given or asked for almost everything on this list! How funny! I do love the first idea, gifting a plant or tree. I’m definitely adding that to my list!
A very conscious Christmas for you and your loved ones. Very good!
