Gift Climate Optimism This Xmas
Three gift ideas that will change the life of the receiver (while changing the world in the process!)
Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost December! My son is about to turn one year old on December 7th, and I honestly don’t know where this year went. Anyhow, it brings us back to that thing… Christmas. And gifting! Which can be both wonderful and tricky — how do we show our love and appreciation for someone without rubbing guilt on ourselves for contributing to the capitalist world of waste?
Let me propose some ideas…
If you are looking for the perfect thing to gift your eco-committed, passionate, visionary friend, or if you have someone in your family who’s dealing with a dose of climate anxiety, and who could need something to kickstart 2026 with a new sense of leadership and hope, I would like to propose three great gift ideas to you who would like to put climate optimism under the tree this year:
The Book
The Climate Optimist Handbook is approaching its third Christmas, but it stands strong as a powerful gift for healing and leadership. If you can think of someone who could use a handbook for shifting the narratives and activating empowered and joyful climate leadership, gift this book!
Options:
You can order the book in paperback from any online bookstore available in your country, or go to your local bookstore and ask them to order it for you. Don’t wait too long, as the book is “print to order”, and you want to make sure it comes in time for Christmas!
If you’re in the US and prefer to gift a signed copy, I have a *few* copies left to sign and ship from home. You order your signed copy here. (Make sure to clarify to whom the book is to be gifted!)
Lastly, you can also purchase the book in eBook format or on Audible, if your special someone prefers to read on a Kindle or listen on the go! Find more options to order the book here: https://www.theclimateoptimist.com/book
The T-Shirt
This is the t-shirt that isn’t just a shirt, but a conversation starter. The Climate Optimist T-Shirt allows you to wear your mission as a climate optimist while inviting the opportunity to spark game-changing and inspiring conversations with people you meet.
Be sure they’re sustainably made with thread to print!
I currently have a small stock of T-shirts in various sizes. Go and order yours today before they sell out: Go to store
*US orders only! I have looked into shipping to other countries, and trust me, it’s not worth it… SHOULD you want to pay a premium price to have it shipped elsewhere, contact me, and let’s see what we can figure out.
The Climate Optimist Leadership Retreat
Are you looking to truly blow someone away with your gift this year? Then you might want to consider a spot at our leadership retreat in March! Not only are you gifting a transformative journey paired with an unforgettable experience, but you’re also giving them an escape to one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

If you’d like to gift a spot, please contact me at annetherese@theclimateoptimist.com, and we’ll discuss the process and provide you with a gift card!
Again, three gift ideas you might want to consider for your climate optimist friend, lover, or family member:
Have a wonderful December and an empowering ending to your year! COP30 may have left us with a mix of feelings, but there’s only one way forward, and it’s rooted in courageous leadership and hope.
With love, Anne Therese
