Cotton & Olive Tuana Cotton Hammam Towel £35
The Tuana lightweight hammam towel is made from 100% high-quality cotton. Available in three lovely colours, it features an attractive, textured design with hand-twisted tassels. The dense weaving creates a durable product that is both beautiful and hard-wearing – and, with its generous size and soft material, it's a pleasure to use. Although lightweight (it packs up into a small space, and weighs less than 450g) it's extremely absorbent and quick drying – making it ideal for travel, beach trips, wild swimming, or just adding a touch of luxury to everyday bathing. You can create a coordinated look with matching hand towels, bath mat and robes. Cotton & Olive hammam towels are hand-made by artisan craftsmen in Buldan, Turkey, using skills passed down through generations. The company prioritises fair trade and responsible sourcing of materials. Little Green Space readers can get a 10% discount on Cotton & Olive purchases with code hello10.
Pott Refillable Candle Starter Pack £49
Every year in the UK, more than 360 million candles are burned – and many of the containers are then thrown away. Pott was founded to tackle this waste, creating beautiful keepsake candle containers that are designed to be used over and over again. Along with a candle, the starter packs include a stylish pottery container, made by artisan potters, and a smaller, matching pot for matches. There are two sizes and lots of wonderful fragrances to choose from. We tried the Petite starter pack in Tonka. For a small candle, this has an impressive burn time of around 20 hours. The scent throw was also amazing – filling the room with rich, comforting fragrance, including notes of tonka bean, patchouli and cedarwood. The candle refills are made from a blend of natural waxes, hand-poured in the heart of the English countryside. There's an affordable subscription service available – choose a refill from a range of classic and seasonal scents, and a new candle will be delivered to your door each month. A highly recommended gift!
Good Bubble Paddington Gift Set £10
Good Bubble produces natural bath and hair products that are designed to make bath time fun. Featuring favourite characters such as the Gruffalo and Peppa Pig, Good Bubble's award-winning range is made with real fruit extracts and at least 98% naturally derived ingredients. This charming set is decorated with original Paddington Bear illustrations from the books by Michael Bond and Peggy Fortnum. The bubble bath and hair and body wash are infused with sweet orange oil, creating an uplifting, citrussy scent. The effective formulations are free from sulphates, parabens, silicone, and artificial colour. They've been dermatologically tested, so are gentle on delicate skin and hair. Also included in the set is a konjac sponge made with natural plant fibres. The eco-friendly bottles have an aluminium cap that's fully recyclable, and the bottles themselves contain a minimum of 30% ocean-bound plastic collected by the Prevented Ocean Plastic programme, which helps protect coastlines at risk of plastic pollution.
Tony's Chocolonely Chocolate Bars £4.75
Forced labour, child labour and deforestation are widespread in the cocoa supply chain in Ghana and Côte d' Ivoire – where 60% of the world's cocoa comes from. Tony's Chocolonely exists to end exploitation in chocolate production, building direct, long-term relationships with cocoa farmers, paying them a higher price and working together to solve the underlying causes of exploitation within cocoa. All Tony's Chocolonely products carry the FairTrade label of certification, and each chocolate bar is made in an ethical way that ensures workers receive a fair wage and good working conditions. Tony's Chocolonely bars are generously sized, chunky bars that come in a range of delicious flavours. One of our favourites is Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Sea Salt – a tasty treat that's suitable for vegans.
Beebombs Beebomb and Honey Gift Pack £24.99
A beautifully presented plastic-free gift, sustainably created using traditional methods on a Dorset farm. The set contains a jar of delicious, wildflower honey – this can help ease allergies and boost the immune system. There's also a honey dipper, a personalised gift card, and a hessian bag of native wildflower Beebombs. Beebombs are an ingenious and easy-to-use way to create colourful, wildlife-friendly floral displays. Simply scatter the balls of seed over cleared ground – the formulation of natural clay and top-soil encasing the wildflower seeds nourishes and protects the seeds as they germinate, helping to ensure the success of the plants. One pack of Beebombs provides thousands of seeds from 18 native wildflower species – from cornflowers and cowslips to poppies and ox-eye daisies. This mix of species is designed to provide a long flowering season, and each pack is enough to create two square metres of wildflower meadow – helping our struggling pollinators. There are also other seed mixes available, including plants suitable for shady areas, and packs containing individual species, such as corn marigold and red campion. Beebombs are made using solar and wind power – and they have helped create over four million square feet of wildflower habitat in the past four years.
Soap Folk Rosemary & Arnica Bath Cube £4.99
This cube-shaped bath bomb is infused with a combination of scents including relaxing arnica, warming ginger and energising rosemary – blended to ease aches and pains, and ideal for bathing on cold winter days. It smells soothing and leaves skin soft and moisturised. The bath cube is biodegradable, suitable for vegans and free from palm oil, SLS and other nasty chemicals. Soap Folk is a small-batch soap company based in Gloucestershire, UK, inspired by a vision to create indulgent products with outstanding ethical and sustainable credentials. Soap Folk is committed to sustainability, using responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients and thoughtfully designed, eco-conscious packaging. With its attractively designed wrapping, this makes a super little eco-friendly stocking filler.
Naturtint Hair Food Intensive Hair Masks £7.49
Naturtint's Hair Food intensive hair masks are rich in nourishing vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to enhance hair health and beauty. They are formulated with 99% naturally derived ingredients, are free from parabens and artificial fragrances, and are cruelty free and suitable for vegans. The masks are easy to use – simply massage into wet hair, focussing on the ends, and leave for four minutes. There are three masks available. The Moisturising Hair Mask is made with purple rice, which is rich in vitamins, amino acids and sugars. It intensely hydrates and nourishes parched hair, restoring lost vitality. The Colour & Shine Hair Mask is enriched with quinoa, a complete protein containing essential amino acids, that intensifies and prolongs hair colour. The Revitalising Hair Mask contains goji, a superfood rich in antioxidants, polysaccharides and proteins. It hydrates, revitalises and softens, breathing life into tired, dull hair. All three masks also include milk thistle – a natural silicone substitute that leaves hair silky, shiny and more manageable – and shea butter to help hair retain vital moisture and reduce breakage. The masks smell great, and leave hair soft and shiny. Naturtint has been at the forefront of reducing the amount of chemicals in hair colour and care for more than 30 years.
Wild Sage + Co Five Soap Gifter £20
A fabulous fragrance is released as soon as you lift the lid of this attractive, reusable tin. Inside are five soap bars, in a range of fragrances including lavender and geranium, rosemary and tea tree, and cedarwood and green clay. They all smell wonderful, and contain only natural ingredients – no palm oil, artificial colours or artificial fragrances. Also included in the tin is a cotton muslin soap saver bag. This is designed to prolong the life of your soap and avoid waste – pop small leftover soap pieces into the bag and use it in the shower as a gentle exfoliator. The soaps contain moisturising natural glycerine, leaving skin soft. Wild Sage + Co is a family-run business, based in rural Herefordshire. The soaps are cold processed, inspired by traditional remedies, and often made with herbs – such as lavender and rosemary – from the founders' garden. Packaging is made from biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable materials such as glass, aluminium, and compostable brown paper. A delightful, plastic-free gift.
Beauty Made Easy Le Papier Lipstick £7.51
Many cosmetic containers, such as mascara tubes or lipstick cases, are made from mixed materials – and are extremely hard to recycle. Enter Beauty Made Easy, a Danish brand formed in 2014 with an aim to produce affordable, sustainable cosmetics. Le Papier lipstick is a completely plastic-free product: the lipstick is contained in a sturdy, compostable paper tube, made from materials sourced from sustainably managed forests in Scandinavia. The lipstick is made with natural ingredients, and is available in a range of fashionable colours – we love this classic red shade. Beauty Made Easy also produces a range of plastic-free lip balms – including a fun, limited edition festive selection that includes Christmassy scents such as vanilla, candy or caramel. These nourishing balms are a rich blend of coconut oil and shea butter to keep your lips soft and smooth. Both the lipstick and lip balms are excellent value, costing less than ten ponds – a great little sustainable stocking filler!
Nutscene Iconic Tin 'O' Twine £8.50
This refillable tin of strong, jute twine – with its attractive vintage label – would make a thoughtful gift for a gardener or crafter. Each tin contains a 150m spool of jute. The tin keeps the twine dry, tangle-free and easy to use. Great for all sorts of gardening tasks, including training and supporting plants – the soft, pliable twine is gentle on delicate stems. We love this natural green shade – it inspired the company's name, as the twine blends into the foliage and so is 'not seen'. Or choose from more than 20 other delightful colours, from pastel pink to vibrant orange. These can be used for all sorts of crafts – and are useful when gift-wrapping Christmas gifts, for a colourful finishing touch. Nutscene is a company with a rich heritage: the jute twine has been produced in Scotland since 1922, and is still wound on the original machinery. Produced from natural fibres which are sustainably sourced, the twine is 100% biodegradable.
