69. Christmas Special Part 2: The Sustainable Gift Guide

<p>Christmas is a time when it’s really easy to over consume and buy things that might get chucked out in a few months. Here’s the cool thing, you get to vote with your dollar when you shop, you can buy local, you can support small businesses and you can look for sustainable pressies that help to look after our wonderful planet. Why not do two good things at once; give a lovely gift that’s also kind to the earth. </p><br /><p>Here’s a list of all the things I’ve tried an tested which would make unreal Chrissy pressies fort our loved ones that also help to look after the environment 🎄🎁🦌</p><ol> <li> <a href="https://naskin.com/">NASKIN</a> these are sustainable, biodegradable, 100% natural and vegan face and body pods made from konjac.
