10 eco-friendly gifts for under £10

Take the stress out of this year’s buying with our affordable eco-friendly gifts for everyone on your list. If you’ve set a strict Christmas budget, you need a Secret Santa surprise or you’re looking for stocking fillers, we’ve handpicked 10 thoughtful presents that show you care for your loved ones and the environment too.

1. Scented palm-free soap

Buy soaps from £5.00 

Treat someone to a gift of relaxation with our special triple milled soaps. The blend of sunflower, rapeseed, coconut and essential oils is deeply moisturising and will leave skin feeling silky smooth. These soaps are made in the UK, free from detergents, sulphates, alcohol, parabens, sorbates, silicones and synthetic preservatives, and the packaging is plastic-free too. Choose from plum pudding or lavender and bergamot - or treat them to both!

2. Wildlife bag

Buy bags from £7.99

There’s more to our reusable bags than meets the eye. They're made from jute, a strong, natural fibre that has a low carbon and water footprint, and fully sustainable, produced to award-winning ethical standards. Among our most popular items, your eco-conscious friends and relatives will love them.

These bags are lightweight enough to take out every day and strong and sturdy enough to carry heavy items too. Stating the owner’s passion for the environment with style, the unique badger and woodpecker designs are exclusive to the Trust. Other designs are also available, including winter hare, and foxgloves and bluebells.

3. The cup that saves trees

Buy cups from £6.99

Got a caffeine fanatic on your list, or a fresh air fan who’s always out and about? Our coral and cream insulated cup is just £6.99 and it doesn’t just save a single-use plastic cup going to landfill with every drink – it’s made from recycled single-use cups too. Fully insulated, it’s comfortable to hold and maintains drink temperature for longer. It has a durable snap fit lid and, unlike many travel mugs, is dishwasher safe.

The larger green and white cup is £15.99.

4. Calendar

5. Wildlife soft toys

Buy soft toys from £10

These cute and cuddly companions are made from recycled and natural materials, with embroidered eyes so they're suitable from birth. At 13cm, the mini fox and mini bunny are ideal stocking fillers, or choose the larger fox, badger, otter or squirrel for a gift they'll love for years to come.

Choose from leaves, wildflowers, birds, minibeasts, fungi, butterflies or poos and clues.

9. Trees for bees virtual gift

Buy virtual gifts from £10

A tree is more than bark and branches - it offers vital food and shelter for wildlife from squirrels and stag beetles to birds and bees. By buying from our range of virtual gifts, including the £10 Trees for Bees, you can help us plant more trees to create future homes for wildlife.

This option is perfect for nature lovers, those that have everything, those that live far away – or those you’ve left to the last minute! Send a personalised downloadable certificate by email directly to your own email address or someone else's, or send it via post so you can add your own personal touch.

10. A tree

Buy trees from £10.95

Technically this is 95p over budget, but a tree is worth every one of those extra pennies! A sapling is incredible value for money - as it grows over the decades to come, it will put on beautiful displays, offer important homes for wildlife, clean our air, capture carbon and so much more. It doesn’t get more environmentally-friendly than that. Plenty of native trees are suitable for small gardens too, including rowan, cherry, crab apple and holly. All our trees are sourced and grown in the UK and delivery is free.
