It's that time again! When everyone goes a little crazy over the man in red rolling in. It's a beautiful time to celebrate with friends + family but it's also a great time to show your love for them by not splashing out on single use items or cheap and nasty products that harm our planet + people. 

There are SO many beautiful small business' that work hard to ensure that their products are well designed, long lasting + don't cost the earth!

Here's our Sole Kids tips + tricks to avoid waste this Xmas;

• Look for items that aren't packaged in single use plastics
• Create your own cards + wrapping papers - try using old fabrics or newspapers 
• Give an experience rather than an item - this could be horse back riding, winery voucher, cheese making class etc (who doesn't love cheese + wine!?)
• Bake or make yourself - get the pots + pans out + make something that will fill the tummy + the soul
• Purchase art. It's such a good investment + it brightens peoples homes. What more could you want?

Here's some of our favourites business' that create beautiful products + help the planet out along the way! 

• Pottery For the Planet
• Banabae 
• Harley and J
• Eat Your Water 
• Nu Natives 

We hope this gives you some fresh ideas!

Merry Christmas you beautiful soles x
