I always feel a sense of wonderment when I make something that turns out as good a shop bought but it looks like shop bought but it taste like shop bought sometimes actually it’s way better than shop bought anyway in that letter in that category falls my home-made sweet mincemeat which is so easy to make answer and looks just like the real thing.

Wrapping Paper
Both Sainsbury’s and Primark are doing plastic free wrapping paper and gift tags. Yay.
Back in the day I had to boycott Sellotape as they only used plastic to make their tapes. But times change and they have seen where the cool kids are at. Sellotape once again makes biodegradable cellophane tapes. Well done them.
The moral of this story – change is slow but it does happen. Keep on pushing.
Sticky and strong 0% plastic tape
Made from cellulose film and naturally based glue
Contains plant based, renewable ingredients
Packaging and core made from recycled cardboard
Cellulose film derived from wood pulp and sourced from PEFC certified sustainable forests
Anti-tangle and easy to tear
Fits all large core tape dispensers
I have seen them loose in Wilco or you can buy a pack of 3 online here

Advent Calendars
Let’s start planning Christmas….. The Works https://www.theworks.co.uk/ have a few interesting Christmas related plastic free products.
And they still have high street stores so you don’t have to worry about that pesky, onward packaging!
They have a wooden advent calendar reusable with little drawers for plastic free treats for each day. sadly the product itself comes in plastic but you will get years of use and … you can’t win them all!
They also have canals sacks and stockings for the end of the bed. These come in plastic free packing and being canvas areobviously made from natural fibers.
Reason why you want to use natural fibres can be found here. Because no one wants their Christmas socks to last for ever!
