Low Waste Holiday Gift Ideas, In Drawings.

Affordable Sustainable Gift Guide.

If you’ve followed my illustration work over the last years, you may have noticed that I’m trying to reduce my waste and live a more minimalistic life.⁠ My goal: less stuff, less waste, more quality, more adventure! ⁠

This has totally changed the way I shop. I like to call it “consciously unshopping” haha.⁠ I still shop a little bit of course, but only things that I need or know I will love and use for a long time.⁠

Buy less, but better.

Hopefully this illustration will inspire you to also “shop less, but better”, starting this Holiday season. I really hope you will choose to support small and local businesses, because we need it more than ever this year!⁠ My own Etsy shop ships worldwide and is filled with cute hand drawn illustrated cards, prints and calendars.💚

Eco-friendly Gift Ideas

Affordable Sustainable Gifts, An Illustrated Guide.

Here are some of my favourite eco-friendly gift ideas for this Holiday season (or any season really). Make someone happy with a beautiful gift that’s also good for the planet: a win-win situation. Let’s make it a green Christmas this year!

Personally I think you can never go wrong with a plant, but then, I am a real plant lady. But anything plastic-free, reusable, fair trade or made from natural or upcycled materials will make your eco-friendly friends and family happy.
