FIVE SUSTAINABLE GIFT IDEAS

This festive season, it’s important to consider gifts that our planet will thank us for as much as our loved ones will. Here, we round up five of our favourite sustainable choices from Lane Crawford’s eco-conscious edit.

Some of Australian brand Dinosaur Designs’ most iconic creations are arguably the resin homewares from their Art Range. Taking cues from the label’s environmentally sustainable initiatives, these designs are crafted from an oil industry waste product. Instead of ending up in landfill, unusable material is repurposed by hand to create beautiful pieces using low-energy methods. The finished product is truly unique—perfect for the host with the most.

When it comes to home fragrance, Earl of East is one of Lane Crawford’s favourite makers. Candles by the London-born brand aren’t just beautifully presented, they’re made from soy wax via soybeans, making them more sustainable than paraffin wax with the added bonus of burning more cleanly and slowly. The Onsen candle, part of the brand’s Japanese Bathing Line, is infused with peppermint, eucalyptus and mandarin, a harmonious blend that makes it appropriate for almost anyone and everyone.

Sustainability and ethical sourcing are at the heart of beloved British establishment Petersham Nurseries, and this philosophy also extends to their curation of lifestyle and gifting items. A Lane Crawford favourite, the brand’s Copper Gardening Tool Set is not only chic, but sure to stand the test of time—an ideal choice for green thumbs and those who could use a nudge with their new year hobby. All packaging is recyclable and compostable, too.

Mindful sneakerheads will be hard-pressed to find a gift more perfect than these green-certified kicks. Made using rubber from Amazonia and raw materials sourced from ecological agriculture, the brand avoids chemicals and polluting processes. Cool and classic, they’re versatile enough to satisfy recipients of all sartorial persuasions.

A stylish alternative to single-use plastic, this W&P Design’s Porter Mug is crafted from a durable ceramic encased in a creamy silicone shell. Going one step further than just making reusable products, W&P champions responsible manufacturing practices, and supports cooking and gardening education programme The Edible Schoolyard in New York.
