We all know that boyfriend, that partner, that live-in, that husband or spouse. He forgets, constantly. Why? No one knows why, it’s a mystery of the universe. And is this you? Well, my friend, we have all been there. All of us. But what about the especially important times of the year where 12 months pretty much come to a close? I don’t know either. The days just roll by, and important ones fly by for me too. And don’t think of saying they’re making something out of nothing because that nothing is something…to them.
We can be more mindful, more conscientious this time around. Besides, our lives may depend on it, right? Just kidding, but it is important to be conscientious and thoughtful. To do that, you might want to consider ethical and sustainable materials, such as those from Organic Bed Threads. They have been made to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and International Labour Organisation Standards ethical standards. Does this matter? Of course!
It might not necessarily influence the particular stylistic decision for your spouse, but you add that as part of the sell. It is the thought that counts. Never forget that! Organic Bed Threads come with some gift vouchers as well. Also, all of the products designed by Tarsha Burns are organic bed linen. The professional designer and owner of Organic Bed Threads.
The business is built around fair trade and sustainable business practices, which means healthy products, a healthier environment because the products can biodegrade, hand-made for you (or your spouse!), and so does the planet, and your boudoir, some good. So, what can you buy your spouse with less than a month until Christmas?
First thing, you should look at our organic doona/duvet covers. Personally, I like the ‘Turkish Tulips’ queen and king size duvet set. So, I will focus on that one for this post. To me, it is especially important if your spouse is knowledgeable about and involved in the ethical and sustainable fashion world because of the treatment of workers, animals, and the impact on the environment are all involved in this.
Turkish Tulips comes with 2 pillow cases, 1 queen doona cover, and 1 king doona cover. Pillow cases don’t need description. The doona covers are washable, removable covers for the bed, which are convenient! You can even think of getting more involved for bonus points and do the laundry every once in a while. I know, I know, not you! But, statistically, women do more of the housework. Be more conscientious!
As described, these are “Turkish trailing tulips” that are “balanced with a fresh palette of green and turquoise, backdropped on a light taupe certified organic chambray cotton.” You might not know the details, but, obviously, thought was put into these products. You can reverse the cover for maximum utility from the duvet cover. It looks good. It’s ethical. It’s sustainable. It’s good for the environment. And it’s better for a good night sleep, especially your own since it is so late into the Christmas present buying season.
