The time to renew connections is fast approaching. As we all start to prepare for the winter wind-down (or summer wind-down south of the equator), we traditionally think of letting our loved ones know what they mean to us.
What will you put the gift wrap around this year? Perhaps it’s time to spread some barefoot love (as well as your toes).
Here at Vivo we’re super focused on how to lower our impact on the environment – so here’s a few ideas on how to lower your gifting impact:
- Consider using fabric to wrap your presents in, tie up with string – keep it all for your next celebration.
- Open gifts carefully and save the wrapping paper (which can often contain plastics and are not recyclable).
- Decorate brown paper as a pre-season activity and use it as personalised wrapping paper – mix mindfulness with some family fun. We suggest seeing where you can celebrate nature in your design.
It's the winter (or summer) solstice on December 21st. So wherever you are in the world, see if you can take time to pause and reflect on the shortest (or longest) day.
