Hey Brew Crew,
If there’s one thing we love more than a strong coffee… it’s a Christmas that doesn’t cost the planet its sanity. So this year, we’re decking the halls the sustainable way - with decorations that are fun, festive, and kinder to the Earth than Santa’s reindeer on their day off.
Here are three planet-friendly, creativity-sparking, Christmas-vibe-maximising decoration ideas to get your place looking merry without the landfill guilt.
Citrus Garland Glow-Up
If you’ve never dried orange slices in the oven and strung them like you live in a Christmas cottage in the woods… this is your moment.
Slice oranges thinly, bake them until dry, thread them onto twine, and hang wherever needs festive cheer.
They’re beautiful, smell like a Hallmark movie, and make your house feel instantly 47% more “wholesome”.
The “Nature Walk” Centrepiece
Go for a stroll and collect:
-
Pinecones
-
Twigs
-
Eucalyptus
-
Anything that says I’m rustic but in a good way
Pile it all together in a bowl or jar, add a candle, and boom - you’ve created a centrepiece that looks expensive but cost absolutely nothing except steps on your Fitbit.
(Warning: May trigger compliments from guests who assume you shop exclusively at artisan markets.)
Urban Brew Upcycled Decorations
AKA: Turning your Urban Brew boxes into Christmas magic.
Our pod boxes aren’t just pretty - they’re basically arts-and-crafts gold.
✨ Try these:
-
Mini Christmas village houses made from boxes (cut out windows, draw little doors, twinkle lights inside… boom, Pinterest who?)
-
Tree ornaments cut into stars, gingerbread men, or create your own baubles
-
Gift tags for your presents (bonus points if you write the name in your best “I tried but I’m not a calligrapher” handwriting)
(Hot tip: the Tanzania box makes VERY chic ornaments. Just sayin’.)
🎄 Why bother?
Because sustainable can still be stunning. Because the planet deserves a gift, too.
And because nothing says festive like turning yesterday’s coffee into today’s Christmas masterpiece.
You’ll need the boxes for crafting.
You’ll need the caffeine for the crafting.
You’ll need the caffeine for Christmas in general.
