10 Zozii Approved Sustainable Gifts for Christmas

Christmas is one of our favourite times of year here at Zozii. Not only is the weather the best for beach days and hiking (here in Australia anyway), it's also the time to see family and spend some good quality time together. And while gifts usually aren't the main focus of christmas, this year, they are even more meaningful with many people not being able to see their families in person. But that doesn't mean we should forget about the impacts they can have on the world. Giving your loved ones a gift that cares about the world is a great way to show that you care about them. 

So if you're stuck on ideas, here's a list of some of our favourite sustainable gift ideas to give your friends and family this Christmas! 

Seed & Sprout - Eco Kitchen Basics

Plants in a Box - Indoor House Plant

Why not get them an indoor house plant, because who doesn't love their house looking like a jungle!? Head down to your local nursery and pick one out yourself, or if you're sending one from far away Plants in a Box have a delivery service with a quality guarantee! Even better, choose one that won't need much water like this Anthurium andraeanum.

Wrapping Paper

When giving sustainable gifts you can't forget about making sure they're wrapped in a sustainable way as well! A study in 2017 found that Australians use enough wrapping paper over christmas to wrap around the world's equator four times, and it just gets ripped up and thrown away. So it's about time we found an alternative!

A great reusable option is to find a nice scarf and simply tie it up around the gift. If you're posting a gift or can't get the wrapping back, use an old newspaper or Flora and Fauna offer some great recycled options. 

Sustainability is so important for us here at Zozii, which is why we want to encourage it in every aspect of life. We hope you enjoy the Christmas period and send the love with these sustainable gifts!
