A Sustainable Gift
Share
The end of the year is approaching, and that means the holidays are coming. A time full of warmth, coziness, and moments spent with the people you love. During this time, you also want to surprise them with a special gift. And that’s not always easy.
Especially now, we are overwhelmed with offers and advertisements that tempt us to buy all sorts of things. There’s nothing wrong with that in itself, but the important question to ask is: do I really need all of this? And when it comes to a gift: what about the recipient? It's important to consider the impact of our choices on the planet. Every gift you give has a footprint. How wonderful would it be if, by making your loved ones happy, you also made the world a little better?
A sustainable gift is a gift with a story. A story of less waste, fewer resources, and more awareness. But sustainability also means critically evaluating what is truly necessary. Don’t just buy something for the sake of it.
What works well for me is making a list of things I need or would like. For a few weeks, I jot down everything that comes to mind, or that I notice I need throughout the day. This could be clothes that need replacing, practical items for the house, or something beautiful I’ve long desired. This way, you avoid impulse purchases and ensure the gift truly holds value.
Still looking for inspiration? The SKOT gift box is a perfect example of a conscious gift. Two 2-packs sustainable T-shirts of the highest quality, packaged in a stylish gift box. Simple, practical, and with a positive impact on the world. For €59.95, you’ll not only make the recipient happy, but you’ll also contribute to a better future.
Here's to a beautiful end of the year – and an even more wonderful start to the new one!
