Instead of buying typical accessories, get creative and start crafting. For example, make your own snow pine cones. All you need is a pine cone of course (put your boots on and take a walk in the woods), some table salt, water and flour. Go to sewhistorically to follow the steps for a DIY snow pine cone. Happy crafting!

If you're bored of your old Christmas decorations, don't go buying new ones just yet. Take a look at some second hand shops first. Vice versa for the ones you want to get rid of. Put them online and who knows, you might make someone else very happy with yours. 

 Christmas presents is all fun and games until you stop to think about all the paper

that’s being wasted. Let’s change that and look for a sustainable alternative:

The most obvious one of all, newspaper! If you want it to look a bit more ‘Christmasy’, always remember, Pinterest is your best friend for sustainable gift wrapping inspiration.

Want to use no paper at all? Furoshiki is the answer. Especially if you're bad at wrapping gifts, this is what you need. It’s a Japanese technique that allows you to wrap your presents beautifully without any paper. All you need is some kind of dishcloth. A lot of online videos will show you step by step. .

Have you heard of the latest card trend? Seedpaper! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain. These papers contain seeds of flowers or herbs. When you plant the card in a pot with soil or sprinkle it outdoors, the paper composts and the seeds are left behind. Before you know it, you've got yourself some flowers or herbs. Isn't that like super cool? You can buy Christmas Cards from Cuddle Corporate on our website and support good causes.

If that is not your thing, you could always go for recycled Christmas cards or make them yourself. Design Sponge has a blog full of craft ideas. 

For all the fashionistas out there, don’t go buying new clothes, there’s another way to look great in a new but more sustainable outfit. 

- Go through your closet and look at the clothes that you haven’t worn in years (we all have clothes like that somewhere in the house). You might find a piece that you really like but forgot about.

- Ask your mom/dad to go through their closet this once.

- Swap clothes with your bestie. Let them wear your favorite outfit and vice versa.

- Try out some second hand stores.

- Or, rent something.
