‘Tis the season to be jolly! It is the holiday season again and it is time for us to nurture our family, to reconnect with our loved ones and to be joyous! Most people stress out about finding presents for the people in their lives, but now you don’t have to!
Not only can you reconnect with your families this holiday season, but you can also reconnect with nature! Check out our Green Gift Guide for this years holiday shopping. No more, “oh, um, thanks…” – kind of gifts, the gifts that will only gather dust in the back of your closet or end up in the waste bin. Instead, this year, give gifts that are sustainable, useful and ones that give back to the planet. We carefully selected twenty presents for you to choose from to give to your friends and family this year. 

Our bamboo Tree Rings each represent a real tree planted through our Greenpop projects. Included on the ring are the GPS coordinates of the exact location where the tree is planted in the world! Our Tree Rings are also available for purchase through our wonderful partners, Faithful to Nature!

Celebrate this holiday season with a gift that grows! Sponsor a tree to Greenpop and receive a personalised certificate to give as a gift.

Gift a ticket to your friends or family to our Reforest Festival in the Platbos Forest! Participate with your friends at our Friends Weekend  or either go with your Family to our Family Weekend! Help to restore the unique ecosystem and enjoy mother nature while dancing under the stars!

Gift a ticket for Greenpop’s Zambia Festival of Action and plant thousands of trees with us. Take action against deforestation and start giving back to earth. Be an active citizen, get your hands dirty and celebrate the beauty of nature with us!

Gift a Body Lotion that is for a good cause. 100% of the Charity Pot sales go to grassroots organizations which promote human rights, animal welfare and environmental protection.

Irritated skin? That‘s history with Hey Gorgeous After Shave Balm! Coconut oil, jojoba, Shea butter and aloe extracts have a soothing and cooling property while an array of essential oils provide a deliciously luxurious fragrance.

Socks again? Oh no, not another underwhelming gift. There is nothing underwhelming about these socks! These actually are the coolest socks you will see in a long time. Hemp socks have a long durability, are really comfortable, have antibacterial properties, and are thermo-regulating and super breathable.

A vegan belt that is recycled out of bike tires is a great and alternative gift for anyone! This gift is durable and long lasting as well as being a very unique and cool idea!
