Christmas is going to look a little bit different this year, with some of us not being able to spend the festive season with loved ones and family.
We agree that presents are just a small part of Christmas, but they can help bring some joy to what has been a rather underwhelming year (hello understatement).
When doing your Christmas shopping, it’s easy to be drawn into the big retailers, but if you can, shopping small, shopping local and shopping sustainably is a great way to do your bit.
We’ve put together some inspiration for stocking fillers from our fellow B corps. From books, to soap, to fire hose belts (you’re going to have to read down for that one) we’ve found a great selection of gifts to inspire you.
Take a look.
1. Finisterre
Who doesn’t love new socks for Christmas? – nobody we know. 🤷♀️
Finisterre have created a range of products all with carefully selected fabrics chosen to create the best possible product, which is long-lasting and has the least environmental impact.

2. World of Books
From cookbooks, to thrillers to autobiographies, World of Books has an incredible selection of second hand books to choose from.
World of Books is an incredible B Corp who don’t believe books should be read once and then sit on a bookshelf gathering dust – they should be reread, reused and shared.
