Christmas is a time of joy, creativity, and connection - a season that celebrates giving and togetherness. But behind the twinkling lights and glittering wrapping paper, it’s also one of the most wasteful times of year. Between layers of plastic packaging, single-use decorations, and mountains of unwanted gifts, much of what we use during the festive season ends up in landfill.
Sustainable Christmas
At Papersmiths, we believe in celebrating a sustainable Christmas - one filled with thoughtful, design-led presents that are made to be kept and cherished. This year, we’ve curated a collection of eco Christmas ideas for stationery lovers, dreamers, and those who appreciate the beauty of organisation.
What Are Some Eco-Friendly Gifts for Christmas?
If you’re shopping with Christmas and sustainability in mind, the best gifts are those that last long beyond the festive season. From refillable notebooks to beautifully printed desk pads, these pieces inspire creativity while minimising waste.
Wiro Notebook
Designed with everyday use in mind, our Wiro Notebook combines sustainability with functionality. The sturdy wire binding allows the notebook to lie perfectly flat - ideal for sketching, journaling, or daily to-dos. Its cover is made using Toile Ocean bookcloth, a premium material created from ocean-bound plastic, giving waste a new purpose and helping to reduce marine pollution. Each page is crafted from FSC-certified paper, ensuring your notes are as kind to the planet as they are to your creative process.

Everyday Notebook
For the minimalist at heart, our Everyday Notebook is a timeless essential. Bound in tactile covers and filled with smooth, sustainable paper, it’s made to accompany you through projects, plans, and big ideas. When you’ve filled its pages, the notebook can be easily recycled, making it the perfect eco-friendly gift for those who value both design and sustainability.
