5. Fair trade or vegan chocolate (letter)
Sweets and chocolate are an essential part of Sinterklaas! But conscious choices can also be made here to make your Sinterklaas just a little more sustainable. For example, choose Fair Trade or Vegan chocolate (letters) as a Sinterklaas gift. They can be recognized in the store by the Fair Trade or Vegan logo. Every little bit helps to make the future a bit more sustainable!
6. Light during the dark winter days, sustainable candles!
Make the dark winter evenings cozy with natural tea lights or scented candles made of rapeseed wax or beeswax. These candles are a sustainable alternative to traditional paraffin candles and are available in delicious scents such as lavender or pomegranate. Perfect for setting the mood during the holidays.

Due to the cold and dry air, skin can use some extra love during the winter. A nice skincare product can help your loved ones take even better care of themselves! Choose a nice facial care product, such as the Upcycled moisturizer as a sustainable gift, or this sustainable fragrance-free hand cream gift from Derma Eco. This way, you give that little bit of extra love and attention as a gift.
