Shop Local: 5 Maltese Spots To Get Your Sustainable Gifts This Christmas
With Christmas quite literally around the corner, the spirit of giving and making our loved ones feel appreciated through thoughtful gestures is in the air. However, this year, why not make your Christmas gifts not just special, but also sustainable, while supporting local businesses?
As environmental consciousness and an importance over sustainability continues to rise in Malta, there are quite a number of options which offer eco-friendly and unique gifts for your loved ones.
From artisan crafts to organic products, these eight Maltese destinations provide a multitude of options for those looking to make their holiday shopping a bit more green…
1. Tulliera Farm Deli (Marsaxlokk)
This lovely organic farm in the Southern areas of Malta is currently offering different sized hampers for the holiday season featuring their locally grown products.
Their Christmas hampers promise to be more than just a delight for your taste buds, but a celebration of sustainability. Oh, and it’s totally zero waste, and completely plastic-free.
2. ReRoot Malta (Balzan)
ReRoot is all about embracing a low impact lifestyle, featuring natural, cruelty free and single-use-plastic-free products.
This season, they’ve got some amazing gift sets under €25, including different combinations of their already-sustainable products.
3. Malta Stone (Ta’ Qali)
Perhaps you’ve got those friends who appreciate semi-precious stones or thousand-year-old shark teeth… then Malta Stone is definitely the place for you to sort out those gifts. From silver jewelry, to raw precious stones, this place definitely has something for everyone.
And if you’ve never visited Malta Stone, just do it, trust me.
4. Mellowmoon (Żurrieq)
Keeping to the same theme, but this time focusing more on beautifully crafted handmade jewelry… We’ve got Mellowmoon by artist Rachelle Deguara, where she has some stunning contemporary jewelry designs, with the beauty and benefits of nature incorporated within them.
5. Organika (Gozo)
And finally my personal favourite on the island of Gozo – Organika in Victoria. A quaint little shop featuring lots of stylish gifts, home decor, luxury soaps, local crafts and even jewelry – it’s all local, and it’s all sustainable.
