Gift Guide: For a Kind Christmas

Christmas is a time for giving, but it’s also a time for over consumption and waste. Here at The Vendeur HQ we want to have a happy Christmas surrounded by friends and loved ones, without the guilt of pointless waste. That’s why we have put together a selection of carefully curated gift guides just for you.  

For a Kind Christmas

 

We all love to give gifts over the Christmas Holidays. Theres nothing like watching someone unwrap your gift knowing you got it 100% right. Unfortunately it’s often the people or causes that need our generosity the most that are left out at Christmas. Maybe you enjoy volunteering or donating directly to charities at this time of year? Giving back is truly a wonderful feeling. However, buying your loved one a thoughtful present that also gives back is a great way to spread Christmas cheer. If you want to double your gifting power this year then we have selected the most beautiful gifts that give twice. 

Our favourite vegan accessories brand has designed this beautiful limited edition ‘Hope’ bag for more than just the love of a great bag. Impressively, 100% of the purchase price of the bag is donated to a charity of your choice. To date, Matt & Nat have raised over $150,000. Can you help them raise more?

It’s no secret that the world’s Bee population is in dire need of support right now. Joy Everley’s adorable silver Bee necklace doesn’t just demonstrate your love for the little creatures. 10% of the total item cost is donated to the British Beekeepers Association to help them with their important work.

Ninety Percent is a London based contemporary womenswear brand with a difference. They donate 90% of the distributable profits to a charity of your choice. We adore their knitwear, which is responsibly made. And whichever piece you choose, you can be sure you have contributed to a better future.

This cruelty free body lotion isn’t just a nourishing treat for your skin. 100% of the price is donated by Lush to one of the small grassroots charities they work with. So you’ll be enjoying soft skin, plus the knowledge that you made a well received donation to a charity that needs your support.

Did you know that the UK alone uses 8.5 million plastic straws a year?! Fine Jeweller Stephen Webster has found an elegant solution to single use plastic waste. His engravable sterling silver straw is reusable, not to mention very chic. And even better, 10% of the proceeds go to the Plastic Oceans Foundation.
