Welcome to the Green Elephant 2021 Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas isn’t all about buying extravagant gifts, but a thoughtfully chosen unique gift can make someone’s day (or year…)!! Choosing the perfect gift isn’t easy which is why we’ve put together this neat Eco Christmas Gift Guide packed full of eco-friendly gift ideas. Green Elephant is all about sustainable, healthy and ethical choices, so everything you see in this gift guide will have been made or curated with this in mind.

Gift-giving is about more than just the gift. It’s about who made it, what’s in it and what good it can do for your special person and the planet.

Everything in the gift guide is available on Green Elephant so you don’t have far to go to find what you need. We hope that what’s on these pages will give you some inspiration, and help you find that special, unique something.
