For adults
If you want a gift that ho ho holds loads of clean H2O, then look no further than WaterAid's Christmas collection, including funding a water tank, a handwashing station and providing safe clean sanitation for schoolchildren for communities in need around the world.
Seastainable eyewear
Sea2see is a sustainable eyewear brand made in Italy with recycled marine plastic, collected by fishermen in Spain, France and West Africa in collaboration with the Sea2see Foundation.
If you have a diving enthusiast in your life they will love this ocean debris bag! Small enough to be stashed in a pocket or clipped on externally, the bag unrolls to provide a handy way to collect and remove rubbish from the water.
After you have disposed of the waste responsibly, recycling it wherever possible, simply roll the bag up and stow it again for your next dive.
Recycled fishing net bracelets
Recycled Ghost Fishing Net Bracelets are transformed by hand from the lost ghost fishing nets that haunt Cornwall’s wild coast, into unique bracelets that are named after the beach on which the nets were found.
For kids (and big kids)
