We’ve compiled a selection of gifts from brands big and small that are doing their bit – from ethical standards of production and transparency in the supply chain to using eco-friendly materials and minimising waste. Discover everything from eco-friendly kitchenware to seed starter kits and the best eco gifts for under £10.

Take your pick from our tried-and-tested veg box guide. Confused? It’s a tricky topic. Check out our sustainability glossary for expert definitions of the buzzwords and terminology used when talking about environmental issues.
