Mindful gift ideas for the people in your life

Dear reader,

The cold has swept over my home town and I find myself tightening my scarf and drinking more steaming cups of tea than usual.

Committed to inspiring you not to leave Christmas gift shopping to the very last minute, I've put together a small gift guide for the people in your life. However, this period can encourage extremely wasteful behaviour. Hence, I also want to share a post I wrote last year about mindful gift-giving and reducing waste during the holiday season.

For the homebody A set with hand soap and body lotion from L:a Bruket or lovely GOTS-certified bedding from Midnatt

For the crafty queen A knitting kit from Myssy Farmi

For the bookworm A beautiful brass bookmark or go to a second-hand store and find your favourite book and gift it.

For the pearl lover Threaded Pearl Ear Cuff from Akind

For the hostess with the mostest A bottle opener or make Brown-butter-washed bourbon and gift it.

For the hopeless romantic Theatre tickets or plan a nature walk together and end it with a picnic.

For the botanist Flower seeds  or a perhaps a floral puzzle.

For the man who has it all Uniqlo heat tech or an audiobook subscription

For the one still not over dark academia A museum day or why not Scottish morning tea

For the man in your life Engraved cufflinks

For the woman in your life A notebook with a monogram or maybe a pocket mirror.
