Gifts for the Eco-Conscious

The Shop Elves present their Top 5 gifts for the eco-conscious; these items are ideal for anyone who is actively trying to reduce their waste and be more sustainable with recycled or recyclable materials, less plastic and products made closer to home.

        Motivation solid shampoo   
  1. Our potion range is full of charms and curses to suit every taste. From Compound of Wicked to Condensed Enthusiasm, Success Stimulant to Sun Shine. Choose from bottled granular ingredients (humans use these as bath salts), two varieties of solid ingredients (used in the mortal realm as soaps and shampoos), and retro and nostalgic Pearls of Wisdom (bath pearls), all of which plastic-free. We also stock Pygmy Dragon Eggs and Happily Ever After bath scatter to make bath-time even more magical.
Most of our potion ranges are vegan-friendly, all are vegetarian products and you can re-use your glass bottles for more salts or other items.

2. Our next pick in this Top 5 list is our newest line in home fragrance with Scent Portals to transport you to literary locations or create the perfect atmosphere for settling down to read a good book. Available in either reed diffusers or wax melts (with burners sold separately), you can choose from 6 memorable and evocative scents including Through the Wardrobe in Wintry Pine, Cosy Book Nook in Caffe Latte, and 100 Acre Wood in Autumn Leaves.
Festive bundles are also available from £19.99, with delightful extras included.

3. The truly festive Scents of the Season range will bring the warming smells of orange, cinnamon and clove into your home. These gifts are all designed and made in the UK by a family team and can be re-used each year with a top-up of the Christmas in a Bottle oil to keep them smelling good as new. The decorations are made up of dried fruits, pine-cones and cinnamon sticks, for a naturally festive scented display with no plastic in sight.
Even better for this year - the full Scents of the Season range is currently 20% off, available while stocks last!

4. Our beautiful range of Story Extract and Excerpt Scarves not only make a pretty gift to wear (as part of a convincing human disguise) but can also be doubled up as an extra gift when you use one to wrap other items. Take a look at our Head Shop Elf wrapping one of our clothbound classic books in a matching styled scarf in this video here. Instead of wasting lots of wrapping paper this year, you can wrap your gift in a stylish and eco-friendly wrap and give an additional present at the same time.

5. Last but not least are our Journals of Dreams, Schemes and Wild Plots. Everyone loves good quality stationery, and our vegan-leather journals are definitely high quality and beautifully functional. Leave us a note to say if you would like the journal embossed with someone's initials, for a personalised gift. The journals are re-fillable with inserts, meaning you never have to throw away your journal, just order refills including calendar, dotted, lined and plain pages.

  The Shop Elves love to learn new ways of re-purposing our items, especially as Graham Grimm is a very frugal man and hates waste. We'd love to hear about any other products you bought from Grimm & Co that you've managed to find another use for.
