  • Get Cosy Under a Wool-Free Blanket

    This gorgeous blanket, also available in a variety of other colours, is made from approximately 50 recycled plastic bottles, making it an ethical and environmentally friendly alternative to wool. It’s the perfect home accessory to get you all the way through self-isolation without contributing to the abuse of sheep and other animals in the cruel wool industry.

  • Watch a Vegan Documentary

    Once you’re in your PJs and huddled up in a warm blanket with snacks at the ready, switch on a documentary like The Game Changers. This positive film will boost your mood and provide inspiration to help you reach your health and fitness goals no matter where you’re exercising.

  • Write in a Vegan Leather Journal

    Being stuck indoors presents the ideal opportunity to set some intentions for the future so that you have a clear vision of your goals and dreams. The cover of this journal is made of vegan leather – a compassionate alternative to peeled-off animal skin – and the minimalist design of its pages will help you lay out your thoughts in a way that works for you.

  •  Get Yourself a Pair of Faux-Suede Slippers

    Lounge around in style wearing these mule slippers, which feature soft faux-fur trim for that extra touch of glam. Available from George at ASDA, they’re made of faux suede, an animal-friendly alternative to suede from calves, pigs, lambs, and other animals. And at just £7, they’re a winter bargain you won’t want to miss.

  • Light a Beautiful Soya-Wax Candle

    Let the divine scent of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and black pepper diffuse through your hibernation den, leaving you feeling calm and relaxed. This soya-based candle is eco- and animal-friendly, unlike beeswax candles, for which many bees die or are killed.

  • Grab a Vegan Bubble Bar and Have a Magical Soak

    Grab a Lush bubble bar, drop it into the bath under running water, and feel yourself transcend into an enchanting world where dreams come true and unicorns are real. If you love lavender and are looking for a magical experience that’ll set you up for the perfect relaxing sleep, this one’s for you.
