Hattiers Reserve Rum

Just because you're doing your best for Mother Earth doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy a nice tipple. Hattiers is blended in Devon, combining Dartmoor water with aged rums from the Caribbean and South America. Better yet, it's certified as a B Corp, so you know the brand puts people and the planet ahead of profit.

Glow Bar's Chaga-ccino

Mushrooms are a major player in the eco world – not merely a scrumptious omelette filling these days – being used in eco-packaging and to make vegan leather alternatives. They're also rather magical in Glow Bar's latest elixir, Chaga-ccino, a coffee alternative that tastes like mocha and contains vitamin D, magnesium and beta-glucan.

ORIGIN Africa T-shirt

If you're looking for a sustainable gift that talks the talk – and walks the walk – then ORIGIN Africa needs to be on your radar. The UK's first 100% not-for-profit fashion brand, all proceeds go back to supporting humanitarian projects in Africa and the materials and processes to create the clothes are all planet-neutral. Plus, the tees, hoodies and eco-silver jewellery looks great, too.

WWF Adopt an Animal

Quite possibly our favourite gift for the kids, adopting an endangered animal is educational, helps protect species around the world and won't fill up your home with plastic tat. Plus, they get a soft toy to cuddle.

Ethique Zero-Waste Beauty Bars

We've become fairly obsessed with Ethique since we first discovered the New Zealand brand a little over a year ago: the plastic-free products look and smell lovely, and work well too (especially the shampoo and conditioner bars, which manage to be good for the planet and still leave hair looking shiny and healthy). Each bar lasts for ages and will replace up to five plastic bottles from being made, as well as saving litres of water from being used.
