Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Sunshine No.1, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a small independent gift shop, we believe that every decision, no matter how small, has an impact on the world around us. That’s why we are committed to making choices that are kind to the environment while continuing to support the incredible talent of local artists and makers.

All the items we sell have been lovingly created right here in Scotland, with the majority made within just 10 miles of our shop. By championing local makers, we keep our carbon footprint small and reduce unnecessary transportation emissions. Every purchase you make supports not only a local business but also the local environment.

We also take great care in how we package our products. We use recycled and recyclable materials wherever possible, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste. From paper bags to eco-friendly wrapping, we’re dedicated to making your shopping experience greener and more thoughtful.

Behind the scenes, we recycle as much as we can and carefully consider the environmental impact of every decision we make, whether it’s choosing suppliers, packaging, or the energy we use in-store.

For us, sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a way of life. By shopping with us, you’re helping to support a more sustainable future, one beautiful gift at a time.
