In today's world, it has never been more important to make eco conscious decisions and lower your carbon footprint. Starting small can make a big difference, so why not look towards sustainable gifts for yourself or your loved ones? There are so many positive aspects to shopping for eco-friendly gifts and products that go way beyond saving the environment, so check out our thoughts below to discover some of the benefits.

Here at Thought & Style, all of our products are lovingly selected for using ethically sourced materials and production methods. From sustainable skincare and beauty products to high quality eco-friendly home accessories, we can help you lower your carbon footprint one stylish, natural product at a time.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

The most attractive quality when it comes to looking for eco-friendly products is the opportunity to give the environment a helping hand. Cruelty free, vegan or plastic free products are becoming fast favourites for lowering our carbon footprint, as their materials and production methods are ethical and eco-friendly.

The more people switch to more sustainable accessories for their home or toys for their children, the more our planet benefits from it. Here at Thought & Style, we care deeply about the environment, and we search far and wide for makers and producers who source ethically and as eco-friendly as possible. You can view our extensive list of brands here.

Shop Local

Many big business brands use mass-production techniques and less sustainable materials in their products, and the more demand for those products, the more the need for carbon neutral production methods decreases. As a consumer, you can use your voice and buying power to make a difference. By looking to a local business determined to provide more eco-friendly produce, you can be safe in the knowledge you're doing your part.

Also, by supporting a local business, you're showcasing your sense of community and ability to help out a small business, increasing the demand for natural ingredients and products. Here at Thought & Style, we sell sustainable skincare products, toys and home accessories, perfect for everyone. A great example is the Kutis skincare brand, whose natural skincare range consists of entirely eco friendly products. 

Set an Example

There's a good feeling surrounding the purchase of sustainable products. You know you're making a difference and lowering your carbon footprint, and by shopping locally (or online from independent shops), you're also supporting a small business. Furthermore, by shopping sustainably, you're encouraging your friends to do the same, which in turn increases the demand to go eco-friendly.
