Social enterprise gift: Earl Grey Tea and mulled wine tea

Tea People was created by a husband-wife team from the attractive Darjeeling tea-growing region in India. In 2009, they discovered a school in their hometown that required assistance with repairs and funds. They came up with a terrific idea to start a social venture, selling high-quality tea to help fund education programmes for children of tea estate workers and other poor villagers. Tea People donate 50% of their earnings to educational initiatives that assist girls in tea-growing regions to improve their lives.

Ethical gift: Shortbread biscuits and lemon melt biscuits

Island Bakery generates electricity for its factory by using timber chips from The Isle of Mull's abundant timber plantations, as well as using local wood chips for baking biscuits. The gentle heat provided by the ovens makes for slow, perfect baking, in addition to being environmentally sustainable and gentle. Island Bakery's biscuits are made using unique ovens heated using the wood chips from Mull's abundant timber plantations. A hydroelectric turbine on the neighbouring Tobermory river produces electricity for the factory, in addition to a single wind turbine set on a hill. After Fiona Aitali, Island Bakery's chief biscuit baker was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease, she devoted her skills to gluten-free baking and was so impressed with her creations that the cookies were subsequently produced. The Sweet FA biscuits are a new line by Island Bakery (which includes the word 'FA' in its name) that are also 100% vegan and include organic ingredients.

Ethical Chocolates

Divine Chocolate can help the 85,000 cocoa farmers of KuapaKokoo in Ghana, who jointly own the cooperative, by buying their beans.

The cooperative also wants to increase women's participation in its initiatives and to develop environmentally friendly cocoa growing.

Ethical gifts: delicious relishes

Rubies In The Rubble produce food from surplus ingredients that would normally be wasted. They create scrumptious bottles of ketchup, mayonnaises, and relishes from the excess ingredients in the food supply chain. Food wastage occurs throughout the food supply chain and produce may be rejected for a variety of reasons including size, shape, quality, freshness, and overproduction. These ingredients, rather than being evaluated on their appearance, are tested on their flavour. They appreciate the beauty of imperfection and the diversity of nature.

Sustainable snack: Fruit crisps

About 40 to 50% of edible fruits and vegetables wind up as waste.

They have sold hundreds of thousands of snacks and repeatedly won awards.

Sustainable gift: Honey

Mama Buci focuses on educating beekeepers and families about how to use their land to maintain a healthy ecosystem so that they can source their honey from small-scale beekeepers.
