The Big Issue Shop has released a great range of products that’ll help you to tick off your to-buy list and make a positive impact too.

This candle, which comes in just under budget, is made from soy wax which ticks the carbon neutral box and comes in a fully recyclable gift tub.

The 100% recyclable, screw top bottles are adorned with bright patterns, so it’ll never be forgotten when you're running out the door - perfect for a busy loved one.

This year, we’ve all been trying our best to do our bit for the planet and reduce our plastic waste. French beauty brand L’Occitane is dedicated to helping us make the switch to reusable with this printed tote bag.

Trust me, you can never have too many totes.

The pandemic has seen everyone face new challenges, but for those without a home the last year and a half have felt insurmountable.

By giving them products that we take for granted, they’ll feel a sense of normality this Christmas day.
