The short answer: the best sustainable Christmas gifts for her are things she'll use for years, made by people who were paid fairly, without waste. Our favourites this year are Unfolded's cotton pyjama sets (£49–£56), made only after you order and in UK sizes 6 to 24, plus a handful of small UK brands doing good things with skincare, tea and knitwear. For last-minute shoppers, an Unfolded digital gift card arrives instantly.

Christmas delivery: Unfolded clothes are made for you after you order, so check the estimated ship date on each product page before you buy. For faster delivery, see our Quicker Delivery range. Short on time? Our gift cards arrive by email in minutes, from £15.

Why give a sustainable gift?

At Christmas, a lot of gifts get bought in a hurry, worn once and forgotten. A sustainable gift is the opposite: something chosen with care, built to last, and made in a way you'd be happy to explain. Every Unfolded order also funds at least a month of a child's education in India through our partner Pratham, so the gift does good twice.

Cosy gifts: pyjamas and loungewear

Rosie Cotton Poplin Pyjama Set, £54. A classic button-down cotton set with piping and pockets, in tiger, blue star or pink star prints. The one to buy if you're not sure what she'll like.
Annie Crinkle Scallop Pyjama Set, £56. Soft crinkle cotton with scalloped edges, in navy or pink. A bit more special.
Peggy Long Sleeve Robe, £55. A midi robe in super-soft Ecoliva viscose with a tie waist and pockets.
