A sustainable silly season? Mesch says yes!

The ‘festive season’ truly is a time for high consumption. From the preparations, pressies and piles of paper, to the feasts shared with family…

You could be forgiven for casting aside your green conscience for easy-and-convenient at this time of year. But with a surging online trend for earth-friendly ideas giving so many festive options there’s no reason to!

Non-product voucher giving always tops the list – indulgent massages, gourmet dinners, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or gardening vouchers. Or why not give a goat, chicken or pig to a person in need around the world through Oxfam unwrapped (they say you can never have too many goats!)

Then there is the growing trend in handmade, personalised gifts with a touch of upcycle. Think quick, easy, inexpensive and one-of-a kind. Like this batch of ready-to-make hot chocolate in a jar…yum!
