Gift Satisfaction

Slow Presents

This Slow Sunday is dedicated to the giving of gifts. Presents that are kind to the planet are often also gentle on the wallet - however, the biggest challenge is finding the time to make or source a low-impact offering.

Making things can be fun if you have the time. So, rather than taking a trip to the high street, this Sunday is dedicated to setting aside time for preparing slow presents for the people you care about. By doing this you will be strengthening the meaning and message of love associated with the gift.

The Gift of Time

Why not give yourself as a gift! Is there a friend or family member you would love to call or visit - but you never seem to find the time? Treat yourself and them to some time together. Maybe you could spend part of this Slow Sunday preparing your diary for next year. Block out some weekends or evenings in advance to enjoy with friends. Your time doesn’t cost a thing and your gift doesn’t have to add to your ecological footprint.
