Eco and Vegan Christmas Gift Ideas from Ocean & Bee for under £25

Here at Ocean & Bee HQ we are passionate about sustainability and we are delighted to see this become a real trend in consumer habits. With Christmas inching ever closer, we strongly believe that we don’t have to compromise even at this most busiest time of the year, and can still give eco, sustainable and vegan gifts while making presents to loved ones luxurious and special. With that in mind, here is our round-up of presents, featuring something for everyone.


















































































Gifts for Her
 

We are obsessed with Nathalie Bond at Ocean & Bee HQ. All of these products are divine so it was hard to pick just one, but the Nathalie Bond Unwind Body Oil is one we return to again and again. Perfect for melting into the skin after soothing baths in the colder winter months, this body oil leaves your skin smooth and smelling divine. A great gift. 
 

The Naked Candle Company Lime, Basil & Mandarin Signature Candle is a best-seller at Ocean & Bee and one that we personally like to give to loved ones. It smells incredible and the glass jar is so simple and elegant. And even better, it can be reused in endless different ways.
 

The Soap Folk Spiced Apple Soap comes beautifully packaged, wrapped up in colourful paper and smells so festive, with its apple, cinnamon and clove fragrance. Perfect for those wanting to cut down on plastic in the bathroom.

 























































































Gifts for Him
 

This Acala Reusable Bamboo Razor + One Blade is perfect for the notoriously hard to buy for! This stylish metal and bamboo razor comes packaged in unbleached, recycled paper to make this a zero waste product.
 

We love this Brick Sixty London Brick Soap in Carbon Wash. It’s so stylish and original with its brick aesthetic and will look great by the bathroom sink. It is cedarwood scented and uses raw charcoal which is great for the skin. Vegetarian, vegan and cruelty free.
The Oneironaut Whitechapel Gallery Candle smells divine. Seriously, if only email had an aroma function so that you could smell the woody, amber scent of this candle. We also think it looks fabulous and its textured ceramic pot can be repurposed as a mini plant pot or pen holder.
 

 

 














































































Stocking Fillers
 

The Beloved Person Japanese Koi Enamel Pin makes for the perfect stocking filler. We love the Japanese design and the lettering: ‘Daisukina Hito’ which in Japanese translates as ‘beloved person’. Small, but beautiful. 
 

And last but not least in our Christmas round-up, The Deterra Hexagon Incense Stick Holder combined with the Oneironaut The Theory of Contrasts Incense Sticks would make for excellent stocking fillers, with the added bonus that the incense sticks would leave the stocking smelling divine! The Deterra Incense Stick Holder is made out of poured concrete with a contemporary, geometric design, and the incense sticks are made by Oneironaut, and release a beautiful, floral scent. A match made in heaven.

The zero-waste razor for men: a perfect gift this Christmas

Ocean & Bee has the perfect gift for the notoriously hard to buy for! The Acala Reusable Bamboo Razor is stylish, practical and best of all, it's plastic-free. Perfect as a stocking filler or a little extra this Christmas. It looks and feels luxurious, it's sturdy and durable and is a beautiful addition to any grooming kit.

This environmentally-friendly alternative to the more ubiquitous razors will last for years, just replace the recyclable razor blades. It comes packaged in unbleached and recycled paper making this a zero-waste product. Its made of bamboo and when it eventually reaches the end of its life the metal can be recycled, making this a zero-waste product.

With billions of plastic razors ending up in landfill each year and taking hundreds of years to decompose, the Acala Reusable Bamboo Razor is an easy eco swap that will clean up your little corner of the world. Small changes make a big difference.

The Acala Reusable Bamboo Razor is brought to you by Ocean & Bee, a woman-owned eco business that specialises in eco subscription boxes, gift boxes and a range of beauty and homeware products. Everything at Ocean & Bee is vegan, free from single-use plastics and palm oil and sourced from British independent artisans.
