Christmas is nearly upon us, and to help you out with some gift ideas, we’ve curated our list of ethical and sustainable products that will help to make your Christmas a little bit less of a chaotic nightmare this year!

Christmas time can have a heavy impact on our environment, so we’ve found gifts that we think will last - nothing that will be thrown out six months later, or mass-produced.

These gifts are upcycled from old goods, made from recycled materials and sustainable sources, and each one has less of an impact on our planet than your typical gifts.

We hope you have a happy and healthy Christmas! Much love, Bare Blends.

Chow Cacao

Chow Cacao

Everybody loves chocolate at Christmas time - joy and chocolate and one in the same. But why give your friends and family (or yourself) processed chocolate with no nutritional value, when you can give them raw chocolate that is smooth and delicious, but also packed full of the goodness and antioxidants of raw cacao. Chow Cacao is great for your health and your brain, and won’t add any extra calories.
