Less than 100 days before Christmas! It’s now time for brands to start pushing the button on their Christmas campaigns. And researches show that 18% of Brits are Christmas shopping in October, 32% in November. This means that brands need to start thinking about how they are going to attract customer long before then. The buzz word this year has certainly been around sustainable gifts and presents, but it doesn’t stop there, it’s also wrapping and presentation. This year, sustainability and ethicality will be everywhere.

Do you love bees? Do you want to save the planet? And have a passion for stationary? Wild Flowers Paper is the company for you. Wild Flowers Paper are producing quality recycled seed paper. What’s that you want to ask? It can be a card, a piece of paper or envelopes that you can be planted once you’re done with it. Every sheet of paper is embedded with various flower seeds that are good for butterflies and bees.
Their goal is to spread the word about wildflowers and how important they are to biodiversity. Some insects rely on only one species of wildflower, so once that wildflower becomes extinct or severely endangered, then so does the life of that insect species. Growing wildflowers in your garden is a small but important step in helping our wildlife. So, make sure you use seed paper cards this Christmas! It’s also a way to send flowers to people.
