Eco-Friendly Stationery Gift Guide Under £30
There’s something quietly magical about giving a gift that encourages someone to slow down, to write, to connect, especially when it’s eco friendly. At Making Meadows, every design emerges from our Surrey studio, hand illustrated with inspiration from meadows, wildlife, and quiet corners of nature. We believe stationery can be both beautiful and gentle on the planet.
In this guide, we will share ideas for sustainable stationery gifts under £30 — perfect for birthdays, “just because,” or seasonal gifting. We will also suggest how to combine pieces into mini gift sets. Let’s get gifting!
Why Sustainable Stationery Matters
Before jumping into gift ideas, here’s why choosing eco stationery is worthwhile:
-
We produce our writing paper in small batches in the UK, reducing waste and overproduction.
-
Our paper is sourced from FSC-certified suppliers and printed using environmentally responsible practices.
-
We package using plastic-free materials and ship orders wrapped in tissue paper.
-
Most meaningfully: for every personalised writing paper set sold, we donate £1.50 to Buglife to support pollinator habitats and wildflower “Meadow Highways.”
When you gift someone from Making Meadows, you’re not just giving paper, you’re giving connection, artistry, and a little help to nature.
Personalised Writing Paper Sets (£16–£26)
Our signature personalised writing paper sets are timeless gifts that bring back the art of letter writing. Each design is hand illustrated in our studio, printed on smooth, FSC-certified paper, and can be finished with matching envelopes.
They’re perfect for anyone who loves to send handwritten notes — or needs a little inspiration to start again.
