Alternative Presents

I’m always working on this!

I am keen to collect as many ideas for presents as possible, but with the proviso that they are made or produced ourselves or by local crafts people, that they help teach a skill create an experience, lend a hand and most importantly that they do as little harm to others and the planet as is possible.

Under the Alternative Presents Ideas category on my home page you will find lists of present ideas which I have gathered over time, thank you to all who have already generously shared these with me, and for those to come.

In the Alternative Present Blogs section on my home page of this blog you can find lots of posts about ideas for presents which reflect deeper more rewarding ways of gifting to each other.

I am moving many of these over from an old blog so please be patient or alternatively you can visit there in the meantime:

How to be happy with less

I would be delighted to here about your ideas so we can add them to the archive and hopefully it can grow into a resource for us all.

Please feel free to email me ideas or even better the story behind the idea and some photos and I will try to include them here. X
