The festive season often blurs the line between generosity and overconsumption. Between excess packaging and products promising miracles, the meaning of giving can get lost. This year, we wanted to offer something different - a gift that reflects intent, not just aesthetics.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Esse for the Limited-Edition Conscious Gifting Festive Set. Some gifts come with hype. Ours come with purpose.
At Sealand, we turn discarded fishing nets and plastic bottles - materials headed for the ocean - into functional, high-quality accessories. Every bag in this set is made from 100% recycled, GRS-certified fabrics, achieving a 73% lower carbon footprint compared to standard products. Along the way, we support over 80 families with fair wages, creating traceable, measurable impact that goes beyond vague sustainability claims.
Gifting With Purpose
Purposeful gifting isn’t about appearances - it’s about choices. Choosing products with verified credentials - EcoCert certified organic, carbon-neutral, plastic-neutral - means your gift carries weight beyond the person receiving it.
This set includes our Sealand cosmetic bag, paired with Esse’s Sensitive Cleanser (50ml) and Nourish Moisturiser (10ml). The bag keeps your skincare essentials safe while representing plastic rescued from ocean pollution. The cleanser and moisturiser support long-term skin health, not just short-term fixes, reflecting a shared commitment to efficacy and ethics.
Beyond the Festive Moment
Purposeful gifting doesn’t end at unwrapping. With global population and resource pressures on the rise, these products are designed to be used, appreciated, and valued long after the festive season. The bag turns waste into function. The skincare strengthens your skin microbiome sustainably.
This is the difference between gifts made with purpose - and those made with hype. One creates lasting value. The other creates waste.
The Limited-Edition Conscious Gifting Festive Set is our take on conscious gifting: products rooted in ethics, sustainability, and real-world impact.
