The Nest 5 | Our Best Eco Xmas Gifts For Mum
Often the hardest part about Christmas is being stuck for gift ideas. Maybe this year instead of another Spring Spa voucher for mum, try an eco friendly gift that will have her gloating to her book club about how hip she is with her new sustainable home decor. Here at Nest we’ve done the hard yards and created a list of gifts that are all made locally and that are also good for the earth! Can you get much better than that? Mum thinks not.

3. Keep Cup by Jenz Studio Ltd.
My new favourite thing to do is own an expansive keep cup collection. I line them up along my kitchen shelf and I am extremely proud of them. Its very easy for me to say that if someone were to gift me one of these Jen Studio’s cups, id be kissing them under the mistletoe.
These cups are handmade earthenware, half-dipped with transparent glaze on sage green clay and handcrafted in New Zealand.
