Christmas Guide 2026


Are you hoping for a fun, mindful, sustainable festive period this year? Do you remember those fairy lit, warm Christmas memories from your childhood?
This year's Making Roots Christmas blogs are designed to help you have less of a consumerist experience and more of a sustainable Christmas that feels mindful, joyful and full of tradition. That doesn't leave you burnt out, stressed and worried about money.
I have put together some fresh guides for 2026, including our gift guide for this year, that is in the format of a hamper guide. There are also blogs on mindful shopping and previous gift guides full of practical ideas for purchasing for your eco minded loved ones.
My biggest thought for Christmas 2026, is to enjoy Christmas for winter too. Stock up on the wintery goodies sold over Christmas, if you enjoy them, as lots of Christmas flavours are also winter flavours and are delicious and comforting going into January. Try and relax into the joys that the cold weather brings. I also find planning ahead extremely important for reducing waste and improving my own enjoyment. Panic buying and last minute gifts can be tricky to budget and ensure they're really what the recipient wants. This is why this blog is going live early, as I hope to help you avoid black friday mindlessness, support small business, help you buy gifts people will love, all to help you look forward to the festivities.
I have also included things I love and read and feel inspired by over the Christmas period.
