Getting the right gift to someone who has decided to live in a sustainable way, buying scarcely and only items made sustainably, from recycled materials can be very hard. I’m at the beginning of that journey myself, so… I know how hard I make it for everyone else :))
Even so, there are gadgets that have an eco-friendly spin out there and I made it my mission to choose nine that will make your friend’s green life brighter than ever this Christmas.
