Huggg’s delightful guide to sustainable Christmas gifts

Christmas is a great opportunity for meaningful employee gifting, and as a one-stop shop gifting platform, we’ve noticed a shift towards more sustainable gifts.

Sustainability means consuming less and reusing more. It might feel like we can’t apply this principle to gifting, but there are plenty of ways to reward teams more mindfully. This new focus on environmentally friendly gifts isn’t just inspired by corporate KPIs. Individuals are looking for responsible gifting options in their personal lives – and they’re becoming more and more desirable as employee rewards, too. These values are also becoming part of company culture: as of 7 Sept, 37%* of office managers would like to send sustainable Christmas gifts, with only the traditional categories of food and drink having a higher demand.

Sustainable Christmas gifts are a way to show you care about the planet

Eco-friendly gifts are also a meaningful way for companies to align their principles with their employees’. They’re a chance to show they care about the planet we share, and that they’re committed to sourcing more responsible, thoughtful gifts. Gifting sustainably might also be part of your CSR targets, which helps build customer trust and can play a part in attracting and retaining great employees.

At Huggg, we don’t warehouse items to re-box and re-send, as gifts, ensuring that we’re already carbon-neutral. Our supplier criteria help us source the most responsible gifts wherever possible. We make a point to favour brands that use plastic-free packaging, are certified carbon neutral and are woman or BAME-owned, amongst other values. Our sustainable gifts include beautiful bouquets in plastic-free packaging by Bloom & Wild, reusable coffee cups made from recycled single-use cups by Circular & Co, 100% Vegan sweets from Candy Kittens and gifts from B Corp-certified companies including Tea Pigs, Toast Ale, Hello Fresh, Healthy Nibbles and Pikt.

The best part? Huggg makes it easy to get ahead of the Christmas rush and send sustainable gifts in an easy, sustainable way. We wish you a happy, eco-friendly Christmas!
