S4: Ep1 - The Ultimate Green Queens Sustainable Gift Guide 2025! 💚🎁 🎄

🎄 Ho ho ho! Welcome to a very festive episode of the Green Queens Podcast! ✨ This Christmas, we’re spreading holiday cheer without the waste. Did you know that in 2024, 3 in 5 Brits received gifts they didn’t want, creating over £1 billion of waste? 😱 So we (Abbie Dewhurst & Imogen Bhogal) curated a sleigh-full of sustainable, ethical, and truly thoughtful gifts—perfect for everyone on your list (and totally okay to treat yourself, too!). From upcycled saris and bread-brewed beer to heated cushions and experiences that give back, this is your ultimate Green Queens Christmas Gift Guide. We also share our family traditions, spill the tea on the perils of buying “tat,” and explore why sometimes the best gift is just time together. 💚 🎁 Josh's Chocolate - https://joshschocolate.co.uk/ I was a Sari - https://iwasasari.com/collections/clothing Nearly New Cashmere - https://www.nearlynewcashmere.co.uk/ Stoov - https://uk.stoov.com/collections/heated-cushions Ere Perez - https://ereperez.com/en-gb/products/coco-crayon-lipstick?_pos=1&_sid=63795f35c&_ss=r BAM Clothing - https://bambooclothing.co.uk/ Unseen Tours - https://unseentours.org.uk/ Tinwood Wine Estate - https://www.tinwoodestate.com/ Tea People - https://teapeople.co.uk/ Regilt - https://www.regilt.co/ The Ballroom Emporium Oxford - https://www.ballroomemporium.co.uk/ Lush Spa Treatments - https://www.lush.com/uk/en/c/spa-treatments Toast Brewing - https://www.toastbrewing.com/ 00:00 - Intro: Festive jumpers & technical difficulties 02:16 - Why we are doing a sustainable gift guide 05:25 - The shocking stats on Christmas waste & unwanted gifts 09:44 - A genius (free) gift idea for nieces & nephews 12:20 - Our family gift traditions: Needs vs. Wants 21:26 - The Virtual Gift Exchange Begins! 22:20 - Gift 1: Josh's Chocolate (Cornish & Sustainable) 23:30 - Gift 2: 'I Was A Sari' Upcycled Goods 26:15 - Gift 3: Nearly New Cashmere Fingerless Gloves 29:00 - Gift 4: Stoov Heated Cushion (Energy Saver!) 30:45 - Gift 5: Homemade Gingerbread & The Gift of Time 35:00 - Gift 6: Ere Perez Plastic-Free Lipstick 36:35 - Gift 7: Unseen Tours (Social Enterprise) 39:30 - Gift 8: BAM Bamboo Leggings 41:35 - Gift 9: Tinwood Estate English Sparkling Wine 43:55 - Gift 10: Tea People (Ethical Loose Leaf Tea) 45:30 - Gift 11: Regilt Upcycled Jewellery 47:50 - Gift 12: Vintage Gucci Strawberry Earrings 50:55 - Gift 13: Lush Spa Massage 52:00 - Gift 14: Toast Brewing (Beer made from waste bread!) 54:30 - Friendship, community, and wrapping up 💚✨ Join the greenest girl gang around—hit subscribe, give us a like, and share with a friend! 📆 Join us for new episodes every Friday 🎥 Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GreenQueensPod 🫶🏼 Follow us on instagram: @green.queens.pod - https://www.instagram.com/green.queens.pod 🎵 Find us on tiktok - Green.queens.podd #greenqueenspodcast #GreenQueens #sustainablegifting #christmas #ecofriendlyliving #sustainablechristmas #lowimpactliving #GreenQueensPodcast #SustainableChristmas #EcoFriendlyGifts #EthicalShopping #HolidaySeason #Christmas2025 #ThoughtfulGifts #ZeroWasteChristmas #MindfulHolidays #GiftGuide2025 Hosted on Acast.
