With the on-going cost-of-living crisis, it feels more important than ever to make our money go further this Christmas and by buying from a social enterprise, you are helping to support their mission, with profits going back into the communities they support and solving some of our toughest social problems – instead of funding vanity trips to space!
Social Enterprise UK’s Christmas Gift Guide 2022 is full of ‘presents with purpose’ from chocolates to socks! Or you can check out the fantastic social enterprise gift guide carefully curated by SSE’s Helen Mincher; full of thoughtful gift ideas for all the family featuring a range of SSE fellows’ social enterprises, including Hampshire fellow Vieness CIC’s deck of cards, available via this link, that will give a positive boost.
We have many fellows who offer a huge range of present ideas, from beautiful watercolour paints made from upcycled cosmetics created by Planet Friendly Paint, available via this link, to handcrafted gifts from Cross-Culture hub via this link. For the ‘hard to buy for’ members of your family, why not buy a gift experience or subscriptions – we have tree climbing experiences with Social Tree Climbers via this link, safe sea swimming sessions with Swim the Wight CIC via this link, Pilates with Ayla sessions via this link, or for the DIY enthusiast why not buy a subscription to Share Salisbury by clicking this link, where they can borrow a wide range of tools to help them tackle any project!
For even more ideas, take a look at the SSE page on our website via this link– and support our incredible social entrepreneurs!
Our Action Hampshire membership platform is the perfect place to amplify social enterprise services to our huge network, so if anyone is offering gift ideas for Christmas 2022, please get in touch or start a conversation online! It could be the beginning of our very own 2023 gift guide!
