Sustainability

Sustainable, vegan, cruelty-free gifts—ethically made in small batches, with eco packaging and responsible recycling.

We’re proud to make them in small batches, helping us reduce waste and create more meaningful products. All of our candles, wax melts, and gifts are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, so you can shop with confidence knowing no animal products or testing are involved.

We also believe in people as much as the planet. That’s why we pay a fair wage for every item made, supporting skilled craftsmanship and ethical working practices.

Behind the scenes, we take sustainability seriously too—recycling all waste and rubbish in accordance with local council guidelines to keep our workshop as eco-friendly as our products.

We’re always exploring new ways to improve—whether that’s working with greener suppliers, switching to eco-friendly packaging, or testing sustainable new materials.

Every gift you order from The Gifting Knot is made with care, designed to last, and wrapped with the planet—and people—in mind.

We believe thoughtful gifts should be kind to both people and the planet. That’s why we carefully select our materials and packaging to balance quality with sustainability.

We use a range of high-quality options—from food-safe acrylics for our cake toppers to responsibly sourced wood. Every piece is designed to last, so your keepsakes can be enjoyed long after the celebration.

✨ For Celebrations

Make memories with keepsakes designed to last long after the party ends.

  • Acrylics: We use food-safe acrylics in clear, colourful, glitter, shimmer, iridescent, matt, metallic, and mirror styles—perfect for personalised cake toppers, party décor, and keepsakes.
  • Wood: Our birch plywood and oak, cherry, and walnut veneers are sustainably sourced with low-emission production. Every piece has a unique grain, making each item one-of-a-kind.
🕯 For Your Home

Fill your space with fragrance and warmth, made with care for both you and the planet.

  • Wax Melts & Candles: Hand-poured in small batches using natural soy wax, vegan and cruelty-free fragrance oils, and decorative wax charms. A sustainable alternative to paraffin wax melts, made right here in the UK.
👕 For Everyday Living

Gifts you can use again and again—practical, stylish, and sustainable.

  • Clothing & Tote Bags: Soft, breathable fabrics printed with eco-friendly inks for comfort and durability. Designed to be sustainable fashion staples that last wash after wash.
  • Mugs & Drinkware: High-quality ceramic mugs and reusable drinkware printed with non-toxic inks. Ideal for eco-friendly gifts that are made to last.
  • Stationery & Prints: Produced on FSC-approved, acid-free papers and card stock—sustainable materials that still deliver on quality and finish.

  • Recyclable and reusable boxes
  • Biodegradable loose fill (dissolves in water)
  • Acid-free tissue paper
