This year, instead of collecting individual gifts that you might not like in the end, you could simply make a donation. There are so many great organizations that could use your help and what could be better than doing good where it is most needed?

Small companies like ours are brimming with diversity, passion and creativity. Here you can be sure that the products you buy are produced with love and of course you can support the companies that make our cities so colorful and worth living in.

Who says you always have to give possessions as a gift? The brilliant thing about it: you don’t have to commit to one product that you then have to wear again and again; instead, you return it after wearing it, someone else gets to enjoy it, and you can choose something new. What a great concept! Your loved ones will surely be happy to receive a voucher for a rental or a membership – and our planet certainly will too!

A very simple way to avoid waste is to use old newspapers instead of wrapping paper so that all the bad news goes to good use. Or you could collect twigs to tie around your surprises. The possibilities are really unlimited, it's fun and you avoid garbage, it doesn't get any better than that!m!

And of course, many of Maren Jewellery’s pieces also make excellent gifts. All jewellery pieces are handmade from recycled 18-carat gold or recycled 925 sterling silver and set with beautiful lab diamonds. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at our sustainable gifts page and get inspired.

Homemade is always nice, especially when it avoids waste. Maybe you'll find beautiful branches or grass that you can tie to your Christmas card, or you can get creative yourself with a pen or brush. The result will certainly bring a lot of joy and will have a longer life than a purchased card that might go straight into the trash after reading.

And while we're on the subject of twigs: Why not do without superfluous decorations and bring the Christmas beauty of nature into the living room. If you then also use (energy-saving) fairy lights instead of candles, you'll end up with more contemplation and nothing from the garbage..

Are you just not sure which piece of jewelry matches the taste of your gift recipient? Then a gift voucher is certainly a good choice. Because here, everyone will find something beautiful that is handmade just for your recipient, and the Maren Jewellery vouchers are also very aesthetically pleasing and of high quality, making them wonderful to reuse as decoration.
