For culinary geniuses
This beautiful Personalised Wedding Serving Board from JungleyVeganCo makes the perfect gift for couples who love to cook. It’s also crafted from bamboo, which makes it particularly eco-conscious. We’ll let Green Eco-Friend explain why bamboo is a win-win for everyone:
“Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet. It can grow up to 91cm (almost 3 feet) in one day. They absorb carbon dioxide and release over 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere compared to an equivalent mass of trees… It’s a renewable resource. After being harvested, it continues to grow new shoots from its root system.”
For vegan couples
Does vegan cooking excite your newlyweds? Treat them to a subscription that promises maximum taste and minimum environmental impact with every bite.
The Vegan Dinners Selection Box from The Teaspoon Club gives the couple five delicious main meal kits, all of which are quick and easy to make and 100% vegan. Even the packaging is home compostable and plant-based.
For the homebodies
If the home is where the heart is for your eco-friendly couple, this sustainable Cotton Striped Tufted Throw from M&S will be the perfect companion all year round. Crafted using pure cotton, this charming and generously sized throw can be draped over the bed or sofa to ensure cosy comfort whatever the season.
