Whilst on our business journey we have the pleasure of meeting so many amazing businesses which not only are producing beautiful, quality products but are also providing ideal gifts that give back to the environment in some way. With so much crisis going on in the world, mainly due to the effect of global warming and climate change,  it is even more important  than ever that we take some responsibility to help give back to the world, protecting it for now and for future generations. This can start with our own individual knowledge and buying choices.

We are very proud of the partnership with the Sumatran Orangutan Society and continue to support them through sales of our a unisex, organic, cotton orangutan design sweatshirts, available in both kids and adult sizes. We donate £4 from every sale of the orangutan sweatshirts to SOS which goes towards helping protect orangutans and their forests in Sumatra. Sadly the orangutan is now a critically endangered species mainly due to the deforestation from the demand of unsustainable palm oil found in everyday food and cosmetic products.

We have handpicked a few brands that we think would make great gift ideas for any celebration throughout the year. They are doing great work and are as passionate about protecting animals and wildlife as we are. Raising awareness, educating others and donating money to charities who are so dedicated towards helping wild animals and protecting the environment.

Without animals and wildlife this would have a profound effect on our human existence as they play such an important part of our whole eco system.

Great gifts that give back and help wildlife

Critically Endangered Socks  is a sock company that helps protect some of the world’s most critically endangered animals. The soft and luxurious socks are made from a blend of sustainably sourced, Oeko-Tex certified bamboo and cotton. Each pair is named after and draws inspiration from one of five critically endangered animals, with 20% of sales going towards a different hand-picked animal charity, making receiving socks at last far more interesting.

The socks are packaged in a recycled cardboard box which includes a simple fact sheet informing customers about the critically endangered animal charity they are supporting with each purchase. Every sock also features an embroidered icon of the animal they protect, serving as a true badge of honor for the wearer.

We met founder Dom Desmond at an #EthicalHour fashion event at the Museum of Brands in London. Dom previously lived and worked with critically endangered orangutans in Borneo and he witnessed the devastation of lush green rainforests when he returned a decade later.

These socks save species.

ELEPHAS® is the first beauty brand to directly impact the conservation of an endangered species. Shea trees give us one of the key ingredients in luxurious skincare but also provide vital habitat for herds of wild elephant. So it doesn’t make sense to let this rich, natural resource disappear. The women of Burkina Faso in West Africa harvest and process their Shea by hand, allowing it to keep all its extraordinary skin replenishing benefits. So by choosing their luxurious skincare products you help to provide these strong and capable women with a sustainable livelihood and enable them to become our key allies in protecting the Shea Tree forests upon which wild elephants depend.

Certified Cruelty-free and Vegan, packaged
without plastic, ELEPHAS® is the kindest thing you could give to your skin and the planet this Christmas.

Louise Potts, the UK ELEPHAS® Ambassador, has experience of Eco Beauty brands coupled with a passion for elephant advocacy. Louise was the founder of Naked, the UK’s first chemical-free, affordable, beauty brand launched in 2004.
Successfully challenging the use of many harmful ingredients in body care products, Naked became the first brand to use recycled, sustainable packaging for the UK mass market. Her company contributed profits to the Rainforest Foundation and spoke out against irresponsible use of Palm Oil. She believes ELEPHAS® is enabling a turning point in consumerism – “the more you buy, the more positive your impact on the planet, its people and its iconic wildlife”.
