Eco-Friendly Gifts for Her - Vegan & Sustainable Gift Ideas

Looking to extend the life of your duvet while keeping your sleep eco-conscious and comfortable? Choosing an eco-friendly duvet cover is one of the smartest and most sustainable choices you can make. Natural materials like bamboo are not only breathable and gentle on the skin, but also help reduce allergens, trap less moisture, and prevent dust build-up. By shielding your duvet from wear and tear, eco covers reduce the need for frequent washing - preserving both the duvet and the planet. Plus, they’re easily washable without releasing microplastics into our waterways. A breathable, hypoallergenic cover also supports a fresher, healthier night’s sleep. With a few simple habits - like airing out your bedding, rotating your duvet, and investing in the right cover - you’ll enjoy better sleep and help your bedding last for years to come.

When planning a game day party, knowing how many drinks to buy helps reduce stress and avoid waste. As a guide, allow two drinks per person for the first hour and one for each additional hour. Offering alcohol-free options and using smaller cans or cups will help pace consumption and keep guests happy. Pre-chilling drinks and labelling coolers makes your set-up more organised. At Friendly Turtle EcoBlog, we recommend using reusable cups and locally produced drinks for a more sustainable gathering. These simple yet effective tips will help you protect the planet while enjoying the match with your guests.

Dust mites are often the unseen culprits behind a child’s persistent sniffles, coughs, and red, watery eyes. Found in bedding, carpets, toys, and upholstery, these microscopic creatures can trigger strong allergic reactions - especially in sensitive children. While medications may help, natural approaches often provide gentle, effective relief. This guide shares simple, low-tox methods for reducing dust mites at home, including using allergen-proof bedding, lowering indoor humidity, improving ventilation, and choosing easy-to-clean surfaces. You'll also discover how child-safe essential oils, regular baths, and smart cleaning habits can create a healthier living environment. With a few small changes and consistency, you can help your child breathe easier, sleep better, and enjoy more allergy-free days - naturally and sustainably.
