Are you desperately brainstorming present ideas for that tricky to buy for friend or family member? Don’t fall into the classic trap of purchasing just for the sake of it.
Traditionally, we are actively encouraged by online and high-street retailers to succumb to Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargains and Christmas giftsets, but, it’s 2022, and we know better.
It’s time to stop feeding into the idea that Christmas is synonymous with frivolous shopping, and start remembering its true meaning. At a time when the nation is looking to combat over-consumption (Brits consign an estimated £42million worth of festive gifts to landfill every year) it seems that we’ve lost sight of the real sentiment behind the Christmas celebrations.
For 2022, why not opt for a gesture with more meaning, and one which represents a positive impact on the planet. Buying a tree from the charity Creating Nature’s Corridors in honour of your loved one provides the perfect opportunity to support a worthwhile initiative to help save our precious environment. Besides a personalised card, the recipient will also receive regular updates as to how their tree is growing, so, it literally is the gift that keeps on giving.
So, this year, take a stand and find a more sustainable way to celebrate the festive season. Give a present that is guaranteed to be well received, not only for the recipient, but for future generations as well. Buying a tree, will contribute to a healthier earth, a happier community and even negate some of the damage Christmas does to our increasingly fragile landscape.
Best of all buying a tree is the gift that suits everyone, from staunch eco-warriors, through to grandparents who want to contribute to their grandkid’s wellbeing.
Go green, and be the change you want to see at Christmas.
Also available as Secret Santa packages, or gift vouchers.
