Give a Little Greener

Research by ING has revealed that last Christmas, Australians spent a shocking $400 million on unwanted gifts, amounting to 10 million individual items. Just where these gifts ended up is anyone’s guess, but we’re guessing at least some of them ended up in landfill.

No one wants to see their carefully chosen gift go unloved so, this Christmas, let's all become conscious gift givers and choose gifts wisely. Green Collect’s retail stores stock only consciously curated items, so our community can choose great gifts that are both ethical and environmental. 

This Christmas, our store in Yarraville is stocked with a fantastic range of earth-kind items that won’t cost the earth - and won’t end up as landfill. Carefully selected from environmentally and socially conscious suppliers, our range has something for everyone: teachers, aunties, kris kringle, and the most important of them all: mum. You'll find: 

• Christmas gift cards, wrap and decorations 
• Reuseable lunch bags, lunch boxes, bento boxes and grocery bags
• Soaps, fragrances, and skin care
• Upcycled baskets
• Keep cups, tea flasks, water bottles and travel cups
• Tea towels, tablecloths, place mats
• Plant pots and baskets
• Slippers, socks and scarves
• Jewellery and accessories - and much more

If you want to take a step further and buy a 'pre-loved' gift, check out our second-hand range. It changes every day, so make sure you pop in a few times to find the perfect gift. Second-hand has the advantage of being free from packaging, excellent quality, and each item is unique. Some of the items in our shops look so good, we’re sure they’ve never been used! From either our Yarraville or Braybrook stores, you can choose quality pre-loved gifts, including:

• Clothing
• Toys
• Electronics (including ipods and gaming consoles)
• Kitchen items
• Homewares

Be a conscious giver this Christmas, and you'll be part of the efforts to save 10 million items from landfill.
