Now Halloween has passed it seems to be Christmas all the way! With Christmas being the most wasteful time of year I wanted to share a few simple swaps for a more sustainable Christmas, all from some other lovely small businesses.
Christmas Crackers
Christmas Crackers are generally filled with single use plastic that find themselves in the bin before the Christmas Pudding's on the table, they're also usually made of non recyclable cardboard. I've found these lovely plantable make your own Christmas Crackers by LIttle Green Paper Shop. I'm really looking forward to finding tiny treats to put in them for the family, that they will actually enjoy and then putting them out in the garden afterwards.
Christmas hats
Sticking with the Christmas Cracker theme, I love these felt reusable Christmas table hats by Oat House. I'm thinking about buying a different colour for each of the family that we can reuse year after year. Sounds like a nice new Christmas tradition!
Table decorations
I've followed the Conscious Party Box for a while and absolutely love their ideas and ethos, they provide eco-friendly party decoration boxes and have released some absolutely beautiful Christmas table decoration boxes. If you're after an eco conscious Instagrammable table this is a must!
Advent Calendars
Advent calendars are notoriously bad for the planet, each filled with plastic cases and usually also in non-recyclable cardboard, often also wrapped in another layer of plastic film. This year we'll be creating our own with these lovely hanging calendars from Harmony at Home Eco Boutique. I'll be putting a joke and one of their favourite chocolates in for every day. They'll also be a lovely addition to Christmas decorations and not take up a whole shelf in the kitchen!

Very valuable information, It’s not at all blogs that we find this. I was looking for something like that and found it here.
