ECO FESTIVE
Personalised baubles , sustainable materials and mindful moments will be some of the three main subjects shaping this year ’ s Christmas . 2021 was the year of craft , a time when everyone embraced the power of making thanks to lockdown . An ecofriendly , inexpensive approach to the festive season is set to continue – forget the tack , think stripped back , minimalist , artisanal decorations , gifts , wrap and tableware , sourced from sustainable materials .
Go ‘ real ’ this year , and buy from a local grower , not only is it great for the environment , it supports the local economy . The best eco-friendly Christmas decorations are our family heirlooms , that ( although not always welcome ) emerge year after year . Whilst secondhand options might not be fit for the tree , they would make a great table filler or name card holder – preloved is the way forward .
Updating your decorations ? Aside from home crafts , spruce up the tree this year with wool , wood , recycled glass or biodegradable materials ; paper creations are everywhere at the minute . Stick to natural materials for the ultimate showstopper garland or wreath and work with dried flowers , oranges , mistletoe and twine – there really is nothing quite like making your own wreath ! Take inspiration from a walk in the woods , get crafty and shop local this christmas .
