a simple gift guide: green living essentials
Most of the time, I aim to bring the outside in and make easy, nature-friendly choices to show some love to our planet. This lifestyle also reflects in the majority of products I use at home. That's why I thought the second guide in this series could focus on simple, helpful things that make homes more eco-friendly and organised through thoughtful choices.
From choosing natural cleaning products to buying less and caring for the environment, I like to call the items below “friendly essentials”. I truly believe that making small changes in our daily routine can lead to big improvements, allowing us to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
This guide is focused on simple, useful items that can make life easier without costing a fortune all while promoting a slower, more sustainable lifestyle. I believe that having an organised home lets you focus on what truly matters, avoiding unnecessary stuff that just takes up space and adds no real value. In the end, it's all about having what you need without cluttering up your space with things that serve no purpose and consume less.
Here’s my selection of eco-friendly products, smart organisers, and everyday tools for a more thoughtful way of living.
