The 2021 Grandermarnier Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas shopping, you either love it or hate it, but it comes around every year regardless of your preference. To help you through the decision-making process I try and put together one of these gift guides each year and share some ideas for Christmas presents. If you’re buying for someone who’s vegan or eco-conscious, it can be tricky to know what to get them. 

 

I’ve pulled together some cracking gift ideas perfect for the girls and guys in your life. Read on and get inspired… 

 

ColieCo Lingerie*

ColieCo Lingerie offers a fantastic range of sustainable lingerie made from low-carbon material and fabric reclaimed from industry dead stock. I have a pair of their “bamboo silk” set and can confirm they’re extremely well made and fit perfectly! They are also 100% vegan as they don’t use silk in any of their products. ColieCo produce their lingerie on a made to order basis, meaning less textile waste is created. They are also size inclusive as their entire collection is available in sizes XS to 2XL, with the option to create a custom order by emailing in your measurements to create the perfect set for your body shape. ColieCo offer gift cards in a range of prices so your loved one can pick out what they want for themselves, which I think always guarantees the perfect gift that they will treasure for a long time! There are bras, panties, swimwear, and bodysuits and have so many styles so your giftee will find something they love.

 

The Lisbon - Quirk Collection*

Vegan handbag company, Quirk Collection, have created The Lisbon, a vegan, lightweight and eco-friendly handbag. The bag is made from cork which is a plant-based material and has been crafted ethically in a small, family-owned factory in Portugal. This versatile purse can be worn as either a crossbody bag or as a clutch, with a removable and adjustable strap that allows you to change the bag depending on what you need it for each day! The Lisbon is available in natural cork, white, black and dark brown (pictured). £100.00

 

The Christmas Set - Facetheory

Facetheory offer science-backed skincare at affordable prices – what’s not to like? The Christmas Set features ten of Facetheory's best sellers; Clarifying Cleanser C2, Cera-C Pore Reducing Toner, Amil C Whip SPF20, Green Tea Rescue Mask, Relaxing Night Cream , Lipabalm Lip Balm, Chirosmooth Rice Ferment Hand Cream, Regenacalm Serum, Porebright N10 Serum and the Organic Cotton Face Flannel. I have the Porebright N10 serum and it’s been incredible! £79.99.

 

The Festive Box - Ditto Bakes

Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, the Ditto Bakes Festive Box contains two slices each of the salted caramel cream wafer & biscoff swirl brownies, ginger brownies with white chocolate drizzle brownies and the sweetly spiced vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg white chocolate chip blondies. My mouth is literally watering right now! £16.00

 

Compressive Leggings - Girlfriend Collective

For the perfect gift for the health-nut friend or relative who goes crazy for new workout gear, these sustainable leggings will take pride of place in their wardrobe. Each pair of the Compressive leggings save 25 plastic bottles from landfill, and they’re treated with eco-friendly dyes. I have the Compressive leggings, sports bra and bike shorts from Girlfriend Collective and they’re incredible quality and make me actually excited to work out! £65.00

 

Immaculate Vegan**

Pretty much anything on the Immaculate Vegan website is a solid choice for any vegan fashion lover. From vegan leather boots to wool-free scarves, there are fantastic options for anyone’s winter wardrobe, including menswear too. Check out their bestsellers list for some inspiration!

 

Snow Fairy Gift Set - Lush

Always at the top of my list when shopping for ethical, sustainably made bath and body gifts. Perfect for someone who’s starting to try and buy more vegan and cruelty-free bath products, especially if they have a bathtub! From their famous bath bombs to zero waste shampoo bars and face masks, they have something for everyone. I particularly love their sparkly, magical Snow Fairy gift set, which includes the shower gel, bath bomb, bubble bar and body conditioner. £25.00.

 

Guided Meditations - Be Mindful Be Happy

My friend Claire set up Be Mindful Be Happy in 2019 to spread awareness of mindfulness through her guided meditations and meditation accessories, as well as her sustainable clothing, using only GOTS certified organic cotton. The premium guided mediations are only £5, and would make a really thoughtful gift for someone, especially if you know someone who wants to explore meditation but may need some support to get started. £5.00

 

Regenerative Organic Cotton Pullover – Patagonia

This sweater isn’t like most sweaters. Patagonia have used 100% Regenerative Organic Certification Pilot Cotton from farms working toward the highest organic standard, which aims to rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. They use Fair Trade Certified garment factories to make the sweaters which means the people who made it earned a premium for their labour. £60.00

 

Mila Vert Knitted Scarf – Treen

Made using 100% organic cotton, this check pattern scarf would make the perfect gift and avoid the whole “what size should I get?” issue. Because of the reverse pattern on each side, it’s basically two scarves in one. I’d love to wrap up warm in this beauty! £90.00
