Sustainable Gifts: A Green Future includes Personalized Gifts
There can be a lot of positive reasons why moving to sustainable gifting is good news for the environment, for consumers, for workers and indeed the manufacturing itself.
Ethical production promotes fair labor practices, supports healthier materials, reduces waste, encourages recycling to reduce landfills, promotes environmental responsibility and can conserve natural resources.
For consumers there are a lot of eco-friendly gift options but it is still not at the necessary volume across the board currently.
Why should we choose Sustainable Gifts?
Mckinsey and NielsenIQ produced a report in February 2023 which makes for interesting reading.
Consumers said the overwhelming cared about buying environmentally and ethically sustainable products. 60% said they pay more for a product that has sustainable packaging.
78% of consumers say they wanted a sustainable lifestyle.
We know from a PWC report that nine-in-ten consumers say they are feeling the effect of climate change. They are making more considered purchases. Inflation and prices of goods are having an effect on peoples decision making however.
A report from the roundup.org disclosed that millennials at 67% are more likely adopt sustainable buying habits than boomers.
Consumer sentiment to sustainable gifts differs from country to country also.
Consumers in Brazil, Italy, Austria are the most likely to have made changes to a sustainable lifestyle.

Final Thoughts
When we see products which are eco friendly, it is an easy business decision to favor these products from manufacturers over products which are not.
We are focusing on having as many eco-friendly products in our catalogue as is possible. For some product types, eco friendly options from manufacturers are just not there yet. However as profits can be made from producing eco-friendly products, more and more manufacturers will enter the market.
We believe as personalized gifts are designed to last many years, even a lifetime, as they are very personal gifts, they are keepsake gifts not to be forgotten about or discarded easily, that his helps a culture of eco friendliness. As more and more manufacturers use materials & adopt processes which are eco friendly, this will enable our business and other business increase the percentage of our products catalogue all to have eco friendly products on board.
