You’ll find all of our Eco Christmas Gift Sets here.
Biodegradable Toothbrush
We’ll be popping one of these brilliant biodegradable toothbrushes into our Toiletry Bags too! Truthbrush was founded in Devon by duo Catherine and Catherine who wished for a toothbrush that was both beautiful and biodegradable.
They created the Truthbrush, with a rounded ergonomic handle crafted from sustainable, organic bamboo which is naturally anti bacterial.
Every year over a billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away worldwide, ending up in landfill, in the sea or washed up on a beach. Choosing a bamboo toothbrush with a biodegradable handle is a small change that can lead to a big difference.

Bread Bag
The last of our eco friendly Christmas gifts will be a hit with the bakers!
Our Bread Bags are perfect for storing loaves, rolls and patisserie to keep guests fed and happy throughout the festive season.
This wonderful linen Bee Bread Bag, features a design from our Honey Bee Collection, hand printed in our Cornish studios using water based ink.
It is both sustainable and eco friendly, getting rid of the need for bulky bread bins and helping you to say goodbye to plastic bag storage.
Turn the top down on your bee bread bag to create a pretty basket perfect for serving bread and rolls with the Christmas feasts!

Festive Honey
To accompany our Bee Bread bag we'll be treating our friends to some beautiful honey this Christmas.
Black Bee Honey source British honey straight from the hive. As well as producing their own honey, Black Bee Honey work with select producers in the UK supporting both Britain's bees and beekeepers.
The company takes their name from the Black Bee, the native British honey bee. After losing most of their natural habitat of woodlands and wildflower meadows the Black Bee was verging on extinction. Based in Somerset, Black Bee Honey support efforts to protect the Black Bee in dedicated reserves in South West England.
Their Festive Honey is light in colour but a heavyweight in flavour. The honey combines fresh, herbal and lightly menthol flavours with a sweet, ripe finish. It also has many health benefits perfect for those colder months!
