Black Friday is over, which means the Christmas rush has well and truly begun. If the gift-buying panic is creeping in, you’re likely not alone. But don’t worry, we’ve done some of the scouring for you.<\/p>\n
Every year, we publish the Startups 100 Index<\/a>, our ranking of the most promising ‘ones to watch’ startups in the UK.<\/p>\n Based on this year’s list, we’ve put together a collection of 11 innovative gifts you can buy from the UK’s top startups that your loved ones probably never knew they wanted.<\/p>\n For the health nuts, Bio&Me<\/a>’s gut-friendly granola blends prebiotics, probiotics and tasty ingredients for a breakfast that’s good for your tummy — and your taste buds.<\/p>\n Unlike resale platforms, By Rotation<\/a> rents out items that are worth over £100, making it an accessible option for high-end pieces.<\/p>\n Sustainable fashionistas can assemble designer looks without the high price tag, while reducing their consumption, a win-win for both wardrobes and the planet.<\/p>\n Grub Club Pets<\/a> is a sustainable pet food brand that creates meals out of insect protein.<\/p>\n Did you know that pet food is responsible for over 100 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions every year? This makes Grub Club ideal for eco-conscious pet owners who don’t want to compromise on nutrition.<\/p>\n As seen on Dragons’ Den<\/a>, IMPOSSIBREW<\/a>’s alcohol-free lager gives you a social buzz without the hangover thanks to its natural nootropics. And it tastes great.<\/p>\n Ideal for the sober-curious<\/a> or health-conscious who aren’t ready to hang up their dancing shoes just yet.<\/p>\n MAGIC AI<\/a> brings the gym into your bedroom with a smart mirror that corrects your form in real time.<\/p>\n It’s perfect for getting started on your January bod, without having to brave the winter weather. Heads up, this one isn’t cheap. It’s currently retailing at £949, so it definitely doesn’t qualify as a stocking filler..<\/p>\n Seep<\/a> offers plastic-free sponges, scourers, and cloths. While it may not be the most glamorous Christmas present, it’s a necessity for any eco-warrior loved ones looking to rid their homes of dreaded microplastics.<\/p>\n STOCKED <\/a>takes the stress out of meal prep with chef-cooked frozen food blocks delivered to your door.<\/p>\n Perfect for busy foodies who want tasty, flexible meals without having their fridge dominated by endless tupperware.<\/p>\n SURREAL <\/a>is a cereal brand that pairs kid-approved flavours with the nutrition needed to fuel a busy adult life.<\/p>\n Perfect for anyone who wants to reconnect with their inner child over breakfast while still hitting their protein goals.<\/p>\n Swoperz <\/a>lets children aged 6-16 safely swap preloved clothes online, with parents managing subscriptions.<\/p>\n This gift will give kids the freedom to customise their own looks, without feeding into fast fashion.<\/p>\n Peachies <\/a>nappies are 25% plant-based, ultra-absorbent, and help reduce CO₂ emissions.<\/p>\n Ideal for parents who want to raise little ones with a greener footprint, without compromising on hygiene or comfort.<\/p>\n Unfabled<\/a> offers sustainable, non-toxic products designed for women at every life stage.<\/p>\n Think supplements, menstrual products, and self-care.
