Looking for sustainable gifts in the UK that are a little different from the usual high-street choices?
At CM40UK, we believe great products deserve to be used, loved and enjoyed rather than unnecessarily going to waste. That’s why our online shop brings together an ever-changing selection of upcycled, pre-loved, discontinued, ex-shop stock, surplus items and personalised gifts.
Whether you’re looking for a unique birthday present, an affordable gift, something personalised or simply want to shop a little more sustainably, you never quite know what you’ll discover at CM40UK.
Sustainable Shopping Doesn’t Always Mean Buying New
Sustainability isn’t just about products labelled “eco-friendly”.
One of the simplest ways we can reduce waste is by making better use of products that already exist.
Perfectly usable products can become unwanted because a retailer has closed, packaging has changed, a product line has been discontinued or somebody simply no longer needs an item.
At CM40UK, we try to give those products another opportunity to be bought, used and enjoyed.
Our stock can include:
Pre-loved and second-hand items
Upcycled products
Ex-shop and surplus stock
Discontinued products
Liquidation and clearance stock
Handmade and personalised gifts
Unique and unusual finds
It means our range is constantly changing — and once something has gone, we may never have exactly the same item again.
Upcycled Gifts with a New Purpose
We particularly love taking something that might otherwise be overlooked and turning it into something useful or unique.
Upcycling can extend the useful life of existing materials while creating gifts with far more character than something mass-produced.
Alongside our upcycled products, you’ll also find personalised and laser-engraved items created by CM40UK, giving you the opportunity to choose something made especially for the recipient.
Affordable Sustainable Gifts
Shopping more sustainably shouldn’t have to mean spending a fortune.
CM40UK stocks gifts across a wide range of prices, making it easier to find something unusual whether you’re buying a small thank-you gift, birthday present, stocking filler or something special.
Our constantly changing stock means there are always new things to discover.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sustainable gift?
