Christmas is a time of joy, celebration and sharing.
It is a special time, especially for children, because we have the habit of giving them Gifts, and all children look forward to receiving the desired Gifts on Christmas Eve.
But it is also a time to show affection and it is not just children who hope to receive their little gift... Adults also want to receive a souvenir from people close to them, especially family members, but also close friends, and even from companies or co-workers.
It is also an excellent opportunity to show love and care, not only for loved ones, but also for our planet. Today we are all more aware of the need to preserve the environment, and choosing eco-friendly gifts is a wonderful way to spread joy without compromising our future.
Love it Portugal has environmental concerns from the outset. And the explanation is very simple: Planet Earth is unique!!! We have no option B, and its preservation has to be a collective effort and we feel that we have to be an active part in promoting good environmental practices! All of our products are environmentally friendly and comply with good labour practices. We have this concern and share it with all our partners, suppliers, artists and artisans.
Why choose eco-friendly Gifts?
Choosing sustainable Christmas Gifts goes beyond just giving a gift; It is also a gesture that reflects concern for the well-being of the environment. Here are some reasons why sustainable gifts are a great choice:
Reducing environmental impact: Eco-friendly products are generally made with renewable, recycled or biodegradable materials, thus reducing the amount of waste and pollutants generated.
Supporting ethical practices: Many sustainable gifts are produced by companies that value ethical practices, such as fair trade and fair working conditions for workers. And Love it Portugal has been concerned with this from the very beginning. All of our production is made 100% in Portugal and our country has adhered to the International Conventions that prohibit child labour and the exploitation of the human condition. We have a very close relationship with our supplier partners, and we know that they comply with national and international rules.
Encouraging change: By offering a sustainable gift you can inspire others to adopt a more similar lifestyle, more conscious in their relationship with the environment.
