A sustainable Christmas wreath journey will make them merry

If your loved one loves the idea of kicking off the merriment with a Christmas wreath class but prefers their festive foliage more on the sustainable side, our eco-friendly wreath making class will mean they can dress their door and stick to their eco-friendly principles. When it comes to environmentally conscious Christmas activities, this one ticks all the boxes!

Held at a cosy location in Southwark in London, your favourite eco-warrior will be shown how to transform beautiful seasonal flowers and foliage from local family-run farms into a stunning festive wreath to hang on their front door or in their home. A local, expert green thumb will be there every step of the way, so if your lucky gift card recipient has never tried floral design before, don't worry – they’ll be in good hands. We suspect that this won't be the last DIY wreath they make again either!

A soy candle making class will light up their festive season

There’s nothing better than getting cosy at home in between all the parties at Christmas time; curling up on the sofa, surrounded by flickering candlelight and a crackling fire. Bliss! And while a gorgeous organic soy candle might make a great Christmas present, why not go one better and let your loved one master the art of making their own?

When you need a Christmas gift card for mums who worry about toxic nasties or eco-friendly dads, a soy candle making class will teach them everything they need to know to whip up their own wonderful wax creation from scratch. They’ll discover all the techniques needed to melt, pour and set their own stunning handmade candles, working with beautifully scented natural materials such as herbs, flowers and healing crystals. Not only will they head home with a gorgeous new sustainable aromatherapy candle, but they’ll also have enjoyed the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the festive season for an afternoon, leaving them feeling wonderfully relaxed and rejuvenated!

A glass terrarium class will cultivate their green thumb

Got a passionate plant parent to buy for? Maybe your sustainability pro loves the idea of getting to grips with gardening but only has a balcony to work with. Help all their greenery dreams come true this festive season with the ultimate nature-based Christmas gift experience – a glass terrarium making workshop!

Hosted via live-streaming class, this is the perfect activity for anyone who doesn’t fancy braving the winter chill and prefers to keep their crafting time cosy. This gift card for her, him and them comes with a carefully packed DIY kit that will go right to their door. Inside are all the materials needed to create the miniature ecosystem, from the vessel to the best terrarium plants out there. Their talented teacher will show them how to design, create and care for their brand new biosphere, and they’ll learn all about their new leafy pals; whether they’re looking for an eco-friendly ornament or a super purifying air cleanser, a glass terrarium will definitely tick all the boxes. Long-lasting and super eco-friendly, a terrarium building workshop is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving! 

An upcycling workshop will let them turn trash into treasure

If you’ve got a zero-waste wizard to buy for this season, we’ve got the ultimate experience gift that will make their day (or year!). Let them truly indulge in their love of reducing, reusing and recycling and sign them up for one of our marvellous upcycling courses – whether they want to learn how to make the most of their wardrobe or turn that tired old TV cabinet into some super smart storage, we’ve got a class that will help!

Are they always rescuing old furniture? If your loved one can’t pass a skip without diving in, or is always dragging unloved chairs home from outside people's houses, our upcycling furniture class in Stockport will be right up their street. Guided by a professional furniture restorer, they’ll learn how to prepare, sand and paint their chosen item, before working on some stunning geometric designs to give it a perfectly polished finish. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up enjoying Christmas dinner around a table refurbished by their own fair hands!

Does your excellent eco-warrior have some tattered trousers that could do with some special treatment? Perhaps they’ve got a wardrobe full of shoes that aren’t quite their style anymore? If they’ve got cupboards packed with promising treasures but aren’t quite sure what to do with them, spark their creativity this Christmas with a beginners upcycling course or shoe decoupage workshop, where they can learn to turn trash into treasure under the watchful eye of a crafty upcycling pro. They’ll learn all the sewing techniques and papercraft skills they need to give their old items a new lease of life – they could even end up making a fabulous festive frock from last year's sundress!
