    If you're looking for a gift such as sustainable clothing or you want to treat yourself, take a look at Natural Collection who have a wide range to choose from!

    They are a green shop, with a huge department store range online.  They have products such as organic cotton and fair trade clothing and accessories, homeware and gardenware, oganic cosmetics, and a lot more.  They check every product so that you can buy from them in eco confidence.  And they support fair trade products to help tackle poverty, too.

    So they've got gifts, fashion, items for home and garden, beauty, cleaning and groceries and each category has lots of items to choose from.

    The RSPB has a lovely new collection in its shop with some very pretty roses in their Power to Pollinators collection.

    They would make fantastic gifts for anyone who loves roses and also wants to encourage pollinators to the garden.

    There are rose shrubs and also rose climbers; in all there are nine possible choices, each costing £30.00.  Of course one of the nice things about giving somebody something like a rose Bush or a rose climber is that they can enjoy it for a number of years to come. This means your gift will last and give pleasure over the years.

    Another lovely thing about buying a gift from the RSPB is that of course you can support nature through your shopping!  

    The RSPB say that for each rose sold in the Power to Pollinators’ collection, a £2.50 donation will be made to them to help fund vital conservation work to save the UK’s wildlife - win wins all round, as the roses will help wildlife too!

    You can take a look at the rose shrubs here and the rose climbers here.

    By the way they also have this rather gorgeous and fun frog planter which I couldn't resist adding here.  The frog is suitable for indoor and outdoor use; he's weather-resistant!   And you could use him for plants or flowers or succulents.  He measures roughly 19 cm by 25 cm.

    If you’re looking to buy a gift for a coffee lover, you could RISE to give them a coffee subscription from RISE!  And if you’re looking for a gift of coffee and something else, they can help you there, too!

    A RISE Coffee subscription box gives them the chance to try different coffees, and you can choose the type of coffee they receive and how many months you give for – and you can just do a one-off purchase too on the RISE Coffee Box Subsription.

    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription? 
    How about a Rise Coffee Gift Box subscription?

    The recipient recives your chosen quantity of coffee, key facts on the roasters, beans and farmers – and tasting notes and brew tips, so this is a lovely way to find out more about coffee.  And there’s a free treat from one of RISE’s food and drink partners, too.

    There's a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift

    You could also give them a RISE gift – a Coffee and Chocolate Lover Gift which has freshly roasted, premium speciality coffee, and Montezuma’s chocolate treats.  It includes brew guides and tasting notes, as well.


    The Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box gives you everything you need to start enjoying coffee!

    There’s also a Coffee Starter Kit Gift Box, which includes one 250g bag of freshly roasted speciality coffee, a 350ml (3 cup) black cafetiere, a ‘how to make the perfect cafetiere’ brew guide, and tasting notes so that you can learn more about the coffee.  This is a very good idea – one of the problems when you want to start enjoying coffee is how to make it in a cafetiere, so it’s good to see that RISE have created a box with everything you need to get you going!

     There's also a Coffee and Beauty Gift Box

    The Coffee and Beauty Gift Box includes freshly roasted coffee, a citrus blend face scrub, a wax candle from Upcircle, tasting notes and stories behind the coffee and roaster, and a beauty wellness recipe. 

    Not only that but RISE coffee is friendy too – 1% of all sales goes to its Friendly Coffee Fund.  This supports the coffee farming community in Uganda and it helps pay for children to go to school.   So far, this has funded 2,850 days in school so far!

    Visit RISE to find out more here!
