Can you believe it! November is here which means…. here are my ethical and sustainable gift guides for 2022.

It’s always my hope to help you buy better when you need to! Whether you have no idea what shopping more responsibly looks like, or whether you’re a pro but just need some ideas- let this be for you!

This year more than ever before, I’ve been really challenged in my buying. Buying responsibly is great, buying secondhand…better, but, do I even need to buy at all? There’s lots of questions being asked and conversations being had. Let’s buy things to be loved and well used, passed on even. Let’s dig into a companies ethics before we commit, let’s linger rather than buy on impulse, let’s support the small guy, the start-up and minority-owned businesses.

I thought it was about time to get into one blog, a list of places where we shop the most. I have tried out countless places, looking for what works best for us as a family and these are our most loved. They will most probably change and evolve over time. I am always looking for ways to cut down our spending yet find things that don’t come at a cost to people and the planet.

It’s day 7 of the series. We are almost at the end! Are you discovering new brands you didn’t know about? Today we are looking at ethical and sustainable knitwear. Again, this has been a favourite because I absolutely LOVE a knit and always welcome autumn with open arms with a chance to layer up with the maximum amount of knitted items.

‘How do I know if a company or brand is ethical?’ is one of the questions I find myself answering the most in my private messages. That question often comes hand in hand with other questions about the cost of ethical clothing, where ethical clothing brands can be found and where on earth to start with creating an ethical wardrobe. While I don’t have all the answers- (I’m very much figuring things out as I go) I wanted to create a space on here for those questions to be answered, looked over, and to hand you a bunch of resources to make buying ethically and in turn buying well so much more accessible.
