Gift list for an ethical Christmas

Hello Matcha lovers ,
we meet for a selection of ethical Christmas gifts.
If you follow me on social media, you must certainly know that as a consumer I try to buy ethically when possible.
So here is a small selection of gift ideas :)
Hope you enjoy!
- The legendary couples box set
This is THE hit of the season in terms of jewelry for Matcha, so I'm putting it first in my selection, because you can hardly go wrong with the 4 interchangeable colors on the hoop earrings.
2. A Bye Bye Monique bag with the Vicious top
We still have a few copies of the beautiful gold studded Vicious top with the NY base. Made in Portugal with Vegea - grape "alter-leather". Small production (I launched the brand last year), total traceability of materials and the production chain (I went to Portugal to meet the factory!)
3. An upcycled screen-printed jacket
The latest project I'm working on. Upcycled vintage clothing with artisanal screen printing (in my workshop!)
They can be purchased via PM on @byebyemonique's Instagram while we wait for the Vinted account to be launched.
I choose the pieces carefully, according to my tastes (I admit haha!) On the program, oversized, colorful or basic pieces of good quality that stand the test of time (because yes, the cotton of the 80s has nothing to do with what we produce now!)
4. An upcycled, hand-painted plate
A beautiful unique handmade piece is always a good idea! On Etsy, there are many artisans who sell their art. When I'm lacking inspiration, I always go there for gifts, you can go to the decoration section, and look for handmade pieces, you always come across a gem!
5. A gift for a good cause
Well, for me this is the best gift of all time ahaha!
It's on my list too :)
To support the associations, I buy goodies on their e-shop. The one from Sea Shepherd France is regularly supplied with new designs. (I also created models for them too). All the profits go to the association and I admit that given the state of our current world, it is not a luxury!
6. A good book on Recyclivre
A nice book, or a good novel, is always a pleasure!
So if it's second-hand and it's for a good cause, give it away without moderation!
7. A concert / show / theater ticket
A dematerialized gift is also super cool, a way to offer "time" to those around you! Then the field of possibilities is open! Let yourself go!
8. A We can Do voucher
Learn pottery, blow glass, make your own cosmetics, yet another great idea for a virtual gift!
9. A handmade soap
Well, I admit that I didn't have to look far, because it's the brand of a friend.
She makes everything in-house, with organic and local ingredients (no coconut oil for example), everything is based on olive oil!
When you don't have many ideas, a useful gift is always welcome!
10. A poster of your favorite place
An original concept that I discovered recently, you send a photo of your favorite place (your vacation spot, your grandmother's house, etc.) and they make you a pretty poster!
