Plastic Free Christmas Stocking Gift Guide

Nov 3, 2019

One of our major achievements in 2019 is being recognised as Andover's first Plastic Free Business Champion, (see our blog about it here) and a lot of our customers are focussing on reducing single use plastics from their lives so here's our guide to Christmas Stockings without the plastic....

Soap reduces the need for plastic bottles in the shower. Our French made triple milled soaps come in 125g bar format (£3.95) or 240g soap on a rope (£6.50) if you're going for a bar why not add a cotton bag for travel (£1.35), a bamboo scrubby bag (£2.50) for extra suds and exfoliation and a wooden soap dish (£4.00) which allows the soap to dry out between uses and makes it last longer!

Bamboo socks are beautifully soft, naturally anti-bacterial - our festive collection includes size 3-6 and size 7-11 designed in Cornwall you can choose from robins, Xmas puds, polar bears, penguins, Scandi Santas, or brussel sprouts! We do also have cats, pugs, stripes and various patterns. 

Our recycled cashmere hand warmers are a winter essential. They are available in a variety of colours and one size fits all and cost £25 per pair. They have no "fingers" for are ideal for dog walkers, parents who need to wipe noses, mobile phone users and those that generally have cold hands. As they are long in length they cover your wrists which in turn helps keep your fingers warm even if they're not covered. The also work incredibly well with our sheepskin mittens.

Sheepskin mittens are a great way to keep your hands toasty in the coldest of weathers. Natural sheepskin is toasty warm and ideal for people with sensitive skin. At £28 per pair they're a great gift or stocking filler.
