Together we're helping preserve vital tropical forest habitats

We believe businesses have a responsibility to protect the planet.

We’re honoured to champion gifts that give back, each crafted with compassion by the 40 sustainable organisations we’re proud to promote.

We consider the social, environmental and charity impacts of prospective suppliers so we can ensure our gifts gave back to people and the planet. This helps us achieve our goal of making it easier for you to do Good Things when you buy.

From directly supporting talented artisans around the world, to charity donations, these Good Things look like:

  • Profits from every pair of sloth socks sold supporting The Sloth Conservation Foundation.
  • Ethically made wooden toys that provide books and daily milk runs to rural schools in Sri Lanka.
  • Recycled notebooks that support global education projects getting children back into schools.

Championing gifts that give back is the heart of what we do – but we also pledge 20% of net profits to charities doing good things, too.  

Since we launched in 2019, we’ve been taking action against climate change by donating to the World Land Trust’s Buy an Acre programme. This movement protects precious forests in Ecuador, Mexico, Belize, Brazil and Argentina.  

So far, we’ve invested in the protection of over 9.5 acres of threated tropical forest: habitats that are crucial for a myriad of endangered animals and plants. Thanks to the World Land Trust, these acres are turned into reserves to be protected forever.  

"To save species we must save ecosystems. To save ecosystems we must save land. If it is saving species and their ecosystems that is important to you then I know of no better organisation to support than the World Land Trust."

Ultimately, we couldn't do any of this without our customers. We are immensely thankful for all of the support we’ve received throughout this journey: thank you for being a part of it and helping make Good Things happen.
