TIPS FOR AN ECO CHRISSY⁠ ⁠

This year we are doing a Secret Santa op-shop/second hand Chrissy with Noel's family, thanks to my friend Rach for the idea. If you leave it too late then jump onto Facebook Marketplace and you're sorted. Also for a bit of fun we're dressing up as a "Sparkle" theme which will add to our dress up box. ⁠ ⁠

Here are a few ways to keep it simple:⁠ ⁠

💚 Try making your own tree out of driftwood or an old pallet and reuse each year. ⁠ ⁠

💚 Use your kids art as fun and unique wrapping paper.⁠ ⁠

💚 Buy local and handmade, check out your local market and you'll be sorted! ⁠ ⁠

💚 Give the gift of an experience (think massages for tired parent's or a surf lesson for adventurers!)⁠ ⁠

💚 Buy something "big" for the whole family instead of individual pressies for kids - we got my three nieces a slip'n'slide one year and the backyard game Kubb this year.⁠

Hope you find a way to make your family Xmas extra special and extra eco!
