At Pure Earth Collection, we believe in celebrating sustainably, ensuring our Christmas joy doesn’t come at the expense of our planet. Here’s our guide to making this Christmas not only merry and bright but also green and light on the earth and human health.
1. Sustainable Decorating Ideas
Decking the halls doesn’t have to mean an excess of waste. Opt for natural decor options that either biodegrade without harming the environment or can be reused year after year. Consider using:
- Biodegradable Confetti: Made from fallen leaves, these can be punched out at home with leaf-shaped craft punches, perfect for table decorations.
- LED Lights: Energy-efficient LED lights consume up to 80% less energy than traditional Christmas lights and last longer.
- Homemade Garlands: Use greenery from the garden, pinecones, cranberries, or even dried slices of oranges and apples to create fragrant, festive, and compostable decorations.
2. Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping
Wrapping gifts is a delightful tradition, and doing it sustainably makes the process even more rewarding. This year, take advantage of our gift wrapping service:
- Eco-Friendly Materials: We use lovely eco-friendly recycled craft paper and green string to beautifully and responsibly wrap your gifts.
- Personal Touch: Add a personalised message to your wrapped gifts, making them even more special for your loved ones.
- Save Time: Let us handle the wrapping, saving you time and effort during this busy festive season.
3. The Pure Earth Collection Christmas Market
Shop at our Eco-Christmas Market, running until the end of December. This special event features over 20 eco-conscious brands, providing a wide array of gift options organised into thoughtful categories:

4. Thoughtful Gifting
Consider the impact of the gifts you choose. Supporting local artisans, opting for experiences over physical items, and choosing gifts made from sustainable materials can all reduce the environmental footprint of your Christmas giving.
- Eco-friendly Products: From organic skincare products and handmade ceramics, to small businesses like ours dedicated to reducing plastics in everyday products, choose gifts that are made sustainably.
- Gift Experiences: Concert tickets, museum memberships, or craft classes make wonderful low-impact gifts.
- Donations: A donation to a charity in a loved one’s name can be a meaningful gift that supports good causes.
- Sponsor An Animal: “One of my son’s favourite presents to date was when his class sponsored a tiger on his behalf for his fifth birthday. He loved getting updates about his tiger and learning about her having cubs and contributing to the much needed population increase of these wonderful species.” Emma, Pure Earth Collection, Founder
As we prepare for the festive season, let’s commit to a Christmas that cherishes the planet as much as our loved ones. With a little planning and some eco-conscious choices, we can all enjoy a festive season that’s both joyful and gentle on the earth.
