It has been way too long since my last post, and I promise not to leave it for this long in the future. Of course, work and child-rearing has seen me too busy to concentrate on the blog, which is also why this year's Christmas guide is TEN days late. However, I hope not too late.

This year, I decided to take inspiration from my work, which has taken me from Malawi to Guyana, and everywhere in between. As a result, I have titled this year's Christmas Guide as "The Globetrotter's Edition," which looks at ethical brands and gifts to give around the world. Divided into regions, readers will be introduced to ethical Made in China brands as well as brands from Norway, Bali, St Vincent and Uganda (to name only a few). I hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for a style post.

Ok! Time to be realistic! TWO DAYS LEFT for Christmas, and unless you are going out to do some last minute shopping, there is no chance of you making it in time to get those last minute gifts delivered to your house to be wrapped and then handed over to the giftee. But not to worry, this is why you have The Conscience Collective at hand to guide you through this nightmare. GIFT CARDS! 

Yes, you thought it, but I said it! Gift Cards are an amazing way to save face in case you forgot to buy a gift for your little cousin, who has had his or her little hearts set on receiving a gift from their favourite older cousin (I am not admitting to anything). And, because you have spent almost all of your budget, you're also a little reluctant to spend a lot, so a gift card is an ideal way to show them that you have not forgotten, that you care, and that they now have the power to get the item they really want, and man, are there loads of great gift cards to places that market ethical brands for all to see. 

Therefore, I have created a little gift card guide all for no more than £20/$25. Enjoy and Seasons Greetings!

We wish to take a moment to share our Christmas outfits, from Trinidad and Washington DC, with you. Emma and I show how we rocked our ethical styles before and after Christmas Dinner. More Style posts to come, we promise!!! Hope your Christmas Day was just as eventful as ours.

With Love, Stacy, Emma & The Collective x

Oh, and whilst you're at it, check out some of the other toys, games and gift sets available from the links provided above.

As you guys might have noticed, Emma and Stacy are in two completely different countries, experiencing two completely different climates. This was something we had to take into consideration when deciding what to get our significant others, Juls & Paddy. At the same time, we only want to gift things we our partners will love, so we've sought out some serious ethical gems with which to fill our menfolk's stockings. Most of these items we secretly want for ourselves.

We're starting the holidays off with our ETHICAL CHRISTMAS GIFTLISTS FOR HER. As Emma and I have so much we wish to share, we decided to do this a bit differently. We've both made our own lists, with what we're hoping to find under the Christmas Tree this year and what we would gift to our female friends and family. Here are my lists for the season. Deciding the gifts to give is half the fun, and with so many unbelievable ethical options there's no excuse not to give responsibly this Christmas.
