Where to order sustainable Christmas food 2025: Direct farm deliveries from the UK’s top producers
Finding the perfect Christmas gift can feel a little overwhelming, especially when it comes to sustainable gifts. Really, we know we shouldn’t be buying each other extra stuff, but we’ve become accustomed to showing people we care by giving presents. So, if we’re going to put our purchasing power somewhere, it might as well be with small, independent brands who are making a positive difference.
From thoughtful gifts under £15 and £30, to sustainable home comforts, self-care treats, genderless finds and ideas for him, her and even green-fingered gardeners, we’ve rounded up something for everyone.
Once you start looking, there’s a lot of choice – in a good way! Whether you’re trying to be more sustainable yourself or buying for an environmentally conscious friend or family member, the wonderful thing is that ethical gifts can have far-reaching impact.

How we curated our ethical Christmas gifts UK 2025 guide and test:
Live Frankly is a place for exclusively ethical and sustainable brands. All the brands we feature go above and beyond: they recognise the climate and environmental crises, and the injustices in their industries, and they’re proving business can be done differently.
Every brand fills out a form answering questions about their materials, supply chains and governance. We speak directly with the founders or decision-makers before adding them to the Live Frankly Directory, and we test the quality of their products.
We do the hard work in the background, so you can focus on buying gifts with meaning from smaller, independent brands with values at their core.
Here’s our pick of some of the best sustainable and ethical Christmas gift ideas for everyone.
