Sustainable Gift Ideas for the Women in Your Life
We all have some amazing women in our lives, and this Holiday season we wanted to help you find conscious gifts for them that will hopefully be truly loved and used. See below a round up of some of the women in our lives we have been shopping for at REV!
For the Knitwear Lover
The perfect timeless sweater that everyone’s closet needs! You truly cannot go wrong with this gift. It is made from 100% Bluefaced Leicester yarn, sourced collectively from farms in the north west of England. 325 miles from sheep to finished sweater! This style is an ode to the memories, stories and experiences that frame us. Inspired by generations before, looking forward to what is to come. With just the right amount of elevated touches, a flattering cable across the front and sleeve, this jumper is equally at home dressed up, or paired down.
Bare Knitwear’s Layer V Sweater –
Your loved one will wonder how they lived without this sweater! The Layer V Sweater has a deep, feminine v-shaped neckline and voluminous, light weight alpaca fibres take this easy shape to new heights. Designed to be thrown on or over any outfit, you will be reaching for the Layer V as soon as the temperatures drop. Ethically made in Lima, Peru from 89% alpaca and 11% polyamide. Has contrasting ribbing on collar, cuffs and hem. Straight, full length sleeve with a dropped shoulder.
For The Yogi
Seela’s Compression Leggings –
Seela puts sustainability at the heart of the business, specifically a focus on responsibly sourced materials and thoughtful manufacturing. They make the perfect gifts for the eco yogi’s in your life! All Seela activewear is made using castor bean fiber, Ricinus Communis. Wildly grown and sustainably sourced, this fabric creates a perfect synthesis of performance and environmental awareness.

Seela’s Geneva Crop Top is a true essential for daily support – during a workout or not! The top has an elegant cutout back detailed with shimmery panels; and a wide elastic underband for gentle support. It is made with sustainable Italian bio-based fabric that is ideal for your high intensity activities. Wear it to your gym or yoga workout.
For The Wine Enthusiast
Wine Holders from Paradise Row –
We are all huge fans of natural wine at Rêve and we believe a beautiful bottle should be paired with equally beautiful accessories! Paradise Row’s Wine Bottle Holders are truly a one of a kind gift, that the wine lover in your life will just adore. Paradise Row is best known for luxury and sustainable leather bags, accessories, homeware, stationery and personalised gifts. If life is too short for bad wine, make sure you have something worthy of the bottle with these striking bottle holders, the perfect statement piece for any well-set table.
Everyone needs a beautiful and sustainable set of wine glasses. R+D. Lab create highly distinctive products that are functional, sustainable, and meaningful for modern life.

Every piece of glassware is unique and made entirely by artisan hands in Italy!
For The Mother To Be
Every parent out there will tell you that you can never have enough muslins – for containing messes and swaddling your little ones to sleep. The Little Beacon Muslins are the perfect blend of organic cotton and bamboo, creating a super soft blanket. Each and every blanket is handprint in a home studio in Leeds, UK. The pattern placement is slightly different on each blanket, creating completely unique products for your family to cherish. A no-brainer gift for any expecting or new mum!
A range of gender free clothing for the future #ChangeMakers. Little Riley’s range is designed without gender in mind, so that each and every piece can be shared and used by different generations of children! All of their pieces are super soft, and crafted from waste and recycled materials. Kind on the skin and kind on the planet!
For The Organic Beauty Enthusiast:
Every woman in your life will just adore the Vanderohe Organic Body Serum, which is a serious treat for the body and the senses. This body serum has such a luxurious texture that deeply hydrates the skin without leaving a residue. All of Vanderohe’s products are carefully created by hand in small batches using 100% organic and or wildcrafted ingredients. They source each ingredient from its native soil using the most sustainable, product effective practices in order to look after our beautiful planet while creating the most amazing and effective range of body and skincare.
The first Demeter Certified Biodynamic® luxury skincare line – who wouldn’t want to be gifted that? Maison Made is a skincare atelier dedicated to quality and sustainability. Biodynamic® is not only the most difficult regenerative agricultural certification to achieve, but also the most sustainable method of producing the highest quality plant material. The brand’s Rejuvenating Facial oil is a must for every skin type. It is rejuvenating, protective, and nutrient dense, meaning it hydrated and feeds the skin without clogging pores! A must for every skincare junkie.
For The Gourmand
Feldspar’s entire range is a must for any cook or foodie! Feldspar make their items out of fine bone china (the strongest type of ceramic) by a family run pottery factory in Stoke on Trent, supporting local British production and craftsmanship. They were anxious to preserve the skills required to keep bone china production going in England (and to show that it is perfectly possible to make things from start to finish in the UK). Their Devon pottery is half of their ceramics and everything they make is hand painted there. Feldspar have made the perfect butter dish, available in both cobalt blue and 24k gold handles!
Available in both cobalt blue and 22k gold, Feldspars cake plates are incredibly chic and made to truly last. They are the perfect size for a lovely slice of holiday cake or even a warm scone, heaped with closed cream, then jam (the Devon way). These plates and bowls are designed to sit together or alone – each with a shallow dimpled lip and sketch-like hand painted banding to contrast with the bright white of the fine bone china, brought out by a high gloss transparent glaze.
For The Woman On The Go
No more bad hair days! Marai’s leather scrunchies complement every hairstyle and give your outfit the ultimate finishing touch. The scrunchies are stretchy, comfortable to wear, and also look cool as an accessory around your wrist. The Marai twist is a small opening at the side of the seam, allowing the elastic to be tightened or replaced at any time. They are made from discarded goat hides that have been vegetable tanned on the exterior along with organic cotton and an organic rubber elastic band on the interior. The perfect stocking stuffer!
More than just a tote bag: This timeless bag is an absolute must-have – always elegant and also perfect for day-to-day working life. The tote offers more storage space than most shoulder bags and can even accommodate a smaller laptop. The big bonus: A zipper that protects your essentials from tumbling out. The rolled straps are comfortable to wear on your shoulder. The bag and interior lining is made from discarded goat hides that have been vegetable tanned. The strap is also made from GOTS certified organic cotton!
For The Woman Who’s Always Cold
Everyone needs an ultra comfy scarf! This scarf from Riley Studio is a true essential. It is made out of recycled cashmere yarn, making it so soft and luxurious – even as soft as virgin cashmere but produced at a fraction of the environmental impact. Every kilogram of recycled cashmere yarn uses 92% less water compared to virgin cashmere – that is saving 65.5 liters of water per scarf! The scarf is a timeless knitted design with subtle ribs and a Riley Studio brand tab. One size fits all and looks wonderful styled easily.
The Andes Beanie is a staple in the Bare Knitwear collection year after year. Light weight and wearable, double layers of fine merino wool and baby alpaca keep the cold air out while providing everyday luxury. Easy to wear, make the Andes Beanie your own by wearing it cuffed up or worn baggie. It is ethically made in Lima, Peru with 55% baby alpaca, 21% fine merino wool, 24% polyamide – so soft and cozy!
