Eco Personalised Gifts – Unique sustainable gifts in the UK

How do I make my gifts more personalised?

If you’re asking yourself this question, then congrats as you are already heading in the right direction of picking the perfect personalised gift and showing someone you care! The festive season is coming and we all know that it can be tricky to find the right gift. Personalised gifts are just such a great way to show someone how much you care about them. It can be anything from a mug with their name on it to a sustainable, custom-made piece of art.

There are many ways to personalise a gift. It takes a little bit more work than buying a gift voucher at their favourite shop, but we promise you it is definitely worth the effort. Especially with the holiday season around the corner, now is the perfect time to shop or order your presents so you get them on time. 

So how do you make your gifts more personalised? When choosing a personalised gift, obviously it is important to consider what the recipient would like. Have a look at their interests, hobbies and think of what would make them smile. 

Maybe you have an inside joke together that just the two of you understand and you can buy something that makes the other person laugh. Or you know your best friend just got a new bathroom and bath, so you can surprise her/him with beautiful bath bombs.

It is about remembering conversations and thinking of the things that make the other person happy. How wonderful is it to see someone moved by your present? We’re sure it will make you happy as well. So have a good think, find some inspiration and go shopping!

Once you have your gift, here are some thoughtful ways to make your gifts more personalised:

1. Write a heartfelt message. A handwritten note is always appreciated, and it shows that you took the time to really think about the recipient. So don’t forget to add a special message or quote that is meaningful to them.

2. Get creative with the packaging. Instead of using store-bought wrapping paper, try wrapping the gift in eco-friendly gift wrap, boxes or brown paper and decorate it with your own design. Sustainable and cute!

3. Make it personalised with their name or initials. A simple monogram can go a long way in making a gift feel more personal and special.

4. Add a special touch with a customised gift tag. You can find these at many craft stores, or you can make your own with some cardstock and stamps.

Why buy a sustainable gift?

There are many reasons to buy a sustainable gift. For one, sustainable gifts are typically made from more environmentally-friendly materials that do not add to plastic pollution and go back to the earth safely without breaking down into microplastics and leaking harmful chemicals into the environment. You can read more about this on this link. They also tend to be made from recycled or upcycled materials, which is great for making the economy more circular and also makes sure less material ends up becoming waste.

Additionally, sustainable gifts often support ethical & fair trade practices, meaning the people who made them were paid a fair wage for their work. Finally, sustainable gifts just make you feel good! Knowing that your gift is going to help the planet and the people who live on it is a great feeling you can’t beat. 

Our sustainable gifts support responsible, local businesses. These businesses are committed to making products that are not only eco-friendly, but also beautiful to give. When you buy from ecomersh. you’re helping to shop small and support support small businesses through difficult times.
