Rosie contacted me this time last year looking for 315 sustainable gift hampers. Previously they had a staff Christmas party, but this year they were looking for a sustainable gifting option to thank their staff. She had an extensive sustainable criteria which aligned with ERM's company philosophy and we were able to tick all the boxes. We are honoured to collaborate with like minded people who are making real environmental change through their companies.
Sustainable Check List:
✔ Plastic free packaging
✔ Supporting Small Businesses
✔ Women Lead
✔ Eco Friendly products
✔ Custom message printing
✔ Delivered direct to recipient
✔ $100 budget
✔ Giving back - One tree Planted for every gift 🌳
I worked with Rosie to come up with two sustainable hamper options and a total of 315 hamper were warmly received with glowing reviews and gratitude.
These Hamper brought hope, income and sustainable change to more than 10 small sustainable businesses producing premium eco products and doing their bit for the future of the planet ... and for that I am so honoured and proud.

Maybe you've noticed the amount of single use items in your bin and felt guilty ... Or been at the grocery store and picked up a plastic produce bag and thought that you really should invest in some reusable produce bags?
Here we will share some great ways to start living a more sustainable lifestyle, without the mountains of single use plastic in your garbage.
The terms plastic free or zero waste can feel overwhelming and often unachievable, leaving you doing nothing at all. We all have to start somewhere to reduce the amount of single use plastic waste, and every small change can make a difference. These words of wisdom are from Anne Marie Bonneau:
“We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”
Here are some simple ways you can start to live more sustainably & consciously right now.
5 Simple Eco Friendly Changes to Make Today
These are just a few ways that you can make a change towards a more sustainable and rewarding lifestyle and start to reduce your impact on the environment.
