We’re Making Shopping For Sustainable, Circular Gifts Easy This Christmas!

At Circular&Co. we understand that shopping sustainably isn’t always easy, especially during the Christmas season when both time and budget can quickly interfere with even the best intentions. So this year, we’ve done the time consuming part for you by carefully selecting some of the most innovative Circular brands on the scene as well as our personal favourite gift ideas! The best part about this years selection is that these products won’t break the bank either, with prices ranging from as low as £10 to £80 top end.

Make 2023 a year for gifting sustainably, affordably and most of all thoughtfully. 

Gomi

Sleek, stylish, and made from plastic waste! It’s no secret that we love the ethos behind the Gomi brand, they are completely Circular by nature and their range of products are designed to be infinitely repaired to last a lifetime.

Based in Brighton, UK Gomi are passionate about turning valueless waste into long-living circular products people will love for generations. 

We love: The Gomi Portable Charger

Why: Not only do we love the look and finish of this charger, but it’s also made from recycled plastic with power that comes 100% from repurposed batteries. The tech ticks our boxes too with 20W fast charging to USB A & USB C ports, while able to charge two devices at a time.

Whirli

The affordable and sustainable alternative to buying endless toys! We love this brands wholesome and crucial message: Ownership is overrated. Whirli has created a subscription service so you can save money and in turn help save the planet and divert unwanted toys from landfill.

A 2021 study showed that 26% of Christmas toys are neglected by the end of January. Whirli are determined to transform toy consumption by swapping instead of shopping. Built on a circular model, they have created a shared library of toys that parents and children can borrow and return whenever they want.

We love: The Whirli Subscription Gift Card

Why: This is the perfect Pre-Christmas gift for any parent. The concept is simple: The gift card entitles you to tokens to spend on toys on the Whirli website, once you receive your toys, you have unlimited time with them and can even choose to keep these forever if they are a hit with the little ones. Unwanted toys can be sent back at any time, and they’ll credit your account. With over 1000 toys to choose from, including the latest must-haves!
