Amnesty International UK has launched its Christmas catalogue with hundreds of ethically sourced and imaginative gift ideas that will delight recipients and support communities around the world.
Shoppers can choose from a wide range of sustainable, festive cards with each set of ten featuring the message inside of ‘Season’s Greetings’ in nine different languages – Russian, Chinese, Irish, Scots Gaelic, English, Welsh, Arabic, French and Spanish.
For those who want to impress an interior-design aficionado in their life, there are dazzling décor options from patchwork kantha throws, recycled sari hanging wreaths to Chara hammered vases, which have been handmade in India.
For friends and family who enjoy seasonal snacks there are tantalising treats to be snapped up from chocolates and fudge to spicy sauces. And for the lovers of kitchen kits and culinary curios, options include beautiful recycled Izaan spice jars, tea-towels emblazoned with powerful prints and charming handmade bread baskets, handwoven in Vietnam using water hyacinth.
Amnesty is also showcasing their own range of handmade bath and body care for those who deserve a little luxury, with options of wellbeing gift sets, vegan lip balms and natural soaps.
Gift-grabbers can also peruse garden gifts for the green-fingered, the stunning collection of elegant fairtrade jewellery, children’s toys, gifts and organic cotton clothing and a cosy range of knitwear – seasonal socks included, of course!
