Hi, it’s me, your Cruelty Free Christmas Fairy. I am here to share with you some of the best ethical, cruelty free gifts available this festive season, yes its a weird, strange one this year, not everything is the same, but we can still enjoy some gift giving and support some awesome independent brands, which is really important, now more than ever.

Before you feel dive into this cruelty free holiday gift guide, I highly recommend you check out my holiday guides from the past too. I have lots more gift ideas you spark your interest.

I have tried to include gifts to cater to all budgets, whether that will be stocking fillers or something a little more luxury.

cruelty free gifts

Nordgreen Native Watch, £144 – If you are after something a little more luxe and something they will last years. I highly recommend Nordgreen, I absolutely love this brand, they are all about sustainability from the packaging to trying to minimise waste by providing swappable straps. Nordgreen offers three simple but stylish designs – Native, Infinity and Philosopher. I’m personally not a very flashy person so the Nordgreen minimalist style suits me perfectly, so this watch brand would definitely suit all tastes. They also have men’s styles also, which are extremely sleek and fashionable, maybe you could treat yourself and match your partner.

During Nordgreens Christmas campaign (2 December – 30 December) they have partnered with KidsOut and when you use my discount code KABUKI your order will automatically contribute with a toy to a child in need. Not only will you be supporting a cause of their choice through their already active Giving Back Programme but during Christmas you will automatically give a toy to children who have escaped domestic violence, being forced to flee their homes, leaving all possessions behind. By supporting this initiative, Nordgreen ensure that these children will have good Christmas memories and won’t feel left out ~ absolutely love this campaign and I am really proud to be working on this.

OFRA Holiday Giftsets, from £24, OFRA Cosmetics have some absolutely beautiful gift sets available this year, with some new eyeshadow palettes and a whole new holiday collection. If you haven’t tried OFRA makeup before, I highly recommend the highlighters, they are so pigmented and look stunning on the skin. What better way to show someone you love them, than some vegan makeup.

These colour masks come in five beautifully bright shades – rose peach, pink delight, forget me not, cherry blossom and sweet violet, they last 5-10 washes are even work on dark hair, when i used pink delight on my medium brown hair, it gave me a beautiful maroon hue to my hair. they are all vegan, cruelty free and 96% natural, so will not harm hair.

Embryolisse Filaderme Emulsion, £14.94 – The perfect way to soothe dry skin this festive season, the highly moisturising cream from Embryolisse is perfect for nourishing and hydrating the skin without stripping it. it includes shea butter and aloe vera for the ultimate in moisturising goodness, pop this is someones christmas stocking this year and soothe those hands and skin.

There are a number of minis available, mascara, Limited edition lip and cheek stick, lip balm, they are really good size minis and i have to admit the lip and cheek stick is beautiful. All Arbonne products are cruelty free PETA certified.

Visage Eyeshadow and Lipsticks, from £11 – This is a new brand to me, and I just had to include them in this gift guide, the packing is just so luxe, i love the shiny gold and black design, its so pretty and screams festive season. These palettes are incredibly pigmented, high quality and are available in a range of shades to suit everyone, personally i am drawn to the Peacock palette, which is packed full of blues and purples, its so pretty, you then have Sunset which is a warm toned lovers dream – something for every personality.

NEREUS LONDON Gift Set, £51 – How aesthetically pleasing is this black and gold packaging, some of the nicest i have seen, which i may add is plastic free, NEREUS LONDON offer a range of body care and shampoo and conditioner, definitely something for the eco conscious lover in your life. The bottles will slowly decompose over time so don’t be alarmed if the labels fade and the lid/bottle changes colour, this is all part of the process!
