Sustainable Christmas is probably the hardest time to be sustainable. It might not be easy to think of ways in which you can go a little greener this Christmas, so we have assembled a shortlist of actions you can take to be more environmentally friendly.

Plantable Christmas cards from 'notonthehighstreet'

Linen Wrapping Paper set from Food52

It is estimated that each year 1 billion Christmas cards are sold in the UK only.

Just imagine how many of them are thrown away in the next month... That's enough paper to cover Big Ben up to 260,000 times. So why not invest in plantable Christmas cards? They are usually already made from recycled paper and you get beautiful flowers when you plant them... You're really in for a double win when buying these cards!

Fabric gift wrap doesn't only add a sense of fancy to your presents, you could also be helping to reduce the estimated yearly UK waste of 108 million rolls of wrapping paper. On top of that... it's easier to use as you don't get crinkles everywhere and you can get really creative with wrapping in terms of pleating or gathering fabric.

Why not make your own advent calendar using reusable boxes, bags or containers? This way you are guaranteed to buy or receive items you actually want!

Decoration We tend to put a lot of thought and effort into how we decorate our Christmas table. It can be hard to find the right balance and stop yourself from adding decoration. There are many colour schemes you can be inspired by, so we've made a selection.

Table

Christmas Table Decoration by Ajai Guyot

Dark brown tones are perfectly accompanied by beige colours for a strong, mature and rustic looking Christmas table. You can really add any colour accents. We think bright yellow, candles, dried fruits or flowers would look fabulous!

This one is quite unusual, but nonetheless stunning! Hints of coral in the tableware are combined with grey navy blue fabric napkins and runners. The gold cutlery makes this idea really fancy. Any food would love to be served on this table.

For a traditional Christmas table colour palette, stick with greens and deep red tones. Be ready to really feel the holiday spirit and get nostalgic with your friends and family.

Colours A trend we spotted in 2020 was the popular demand for gemstone jewellery. This Christmas, we think the gemstone colour palette should hang on some Christmas trees! The natural stone palette consists of emerald green, peacock blue, and electrifying shades like mustard and fuchsia.

Gemstone

Each gemstone colour has lots of historical and emotional meaning. Take the opportunity this Christmas to add meaning too, and start a conversation about your fir Christmas tree.

Emerald green is the perfect gemstone to represent happy new beginnings, faithful and mature love, and an eternal relationship.

Ruby red gemstones are known for being a symbol of protection and passionate love.

Topaz gemstone carries a deep and warm shade of blue. The Romans believed it to have eyesight healing qualities, although nowadays the stone is often associated with igniting creativity and shielding from harm.

Whether you want to add a message of hope, protection, or creativity to your tree for the coming year, be assured you will find the right gemstone with the appropriate meaning.

Ladder Christmas tree from Depot Online

This ladder Christmas tree is so ingenious and very sustainable! We think a wooden ladder really makes for a rustic style to come out. If you have multiple ladders, enjoy putting them together as a Christmas set.

This winter-y display from Neptune has everything you need in it, From prosecco glasses to candles and blankets. When you attempt to make a bookshelf Christmas display, try to not make it look too cramped.

Focus on getting the structure and shape right first!

TOP TIP For a more sustainable Christmas, use items you already have around your house to create your Christmas tree and decorations. Spare ribbons or wool instead of tinsel, origami your baubles or create a book tree!

Elements Ways to bring the outside in and decorate parts of your home on a budget, all the while being kind to the environment. Go on a nature walk and bring home anything you think will give you that Christmas feel. You'll also benefit from having your home filled with the natural scent of eucalyptus, pines, and balsam.

Natural

Boho Macrame Ornaments by RopeandbloomMacrame

Without creating unnecessary waste from deliveries or packaging, foraged branches of balsam are perfect to dress up your stairwell and bookshelves. Touch it up with pinecones or red berries.

These gorgeous handmade macramé ornaments come in many different sizes and the colour is so naturally creamy! It's fun to try out macramé and make your own ornaments. All you need is some natural rope.

TOP TIP If you can find some glass baubles, stuff them with small offcuts of eucalyptus and balsam. This is a great way to add more natural shapes and elements to your Christmas tree.
