Where to buy organic and free-range turkey this Christmas: 7 British farms and suppliers
The Christmas gifts we’ve chosen because we think they’re worth giving.
The best gifts are the ones that spark joy; that’s what we’ve kept front of mind as we curated this year’s sustainable Christmas gift guide.
Most of us don’t need more stuff, yet giving presents is one of the ways we show people we care. So, the question we started with this year is: if we’re going to buy something, how do we maximise the positives, not only for the recipient, but also for the people in the business we’re choosing to support, and those who make or grow the products?
Live Frankly is deliberately selective about who we feature. These aren’t simply brands who claim sustainability. We speak to founders and decision-makers, we ask questions about materials, supply chains and governance and we test as many products as we can before adding brands to our Directory.
They aren’t perfect brands either – we’re all operating in an imperfect world, after all. But, they are businesses with great values at their core, who are genuinely trying to change their industries and are prepared to be transparent about where they still have work to do.
How to use this guide
So, here’s our selection of gifts we’d genuinely consider giving – from thoughtful stocking fillers and useful everyday items, to beautiful pieces made to be kept for years and memories in the making.
And if you don’t find something you need here, that’s OK too. This is just a snapshot of what’s on offer, we’ve intentionally only chosen one product per brand (which was very difficult!) to ensure this guide remains heavily curated. If you like the look of something click through and explore the brand’s full range. You’ll find other colours, sizes or styles on the brand’s website.
If you find this guide helpful, please share it. It genuinely makes a difference to every small business and the people behind the products.
Plus, many brands are offering exclusive Live Frankly discounts — make sure you’re signed up to the Live Frankly Newsletter to receive up to 20% off.

How we choose and test the brands in our 2026 Christmas gift guide:
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.
