Whether you want to live more sustainably, shop more efficiently or just streamline your to-do list we’ve rounded up 23 websites and apps that will change the way you shop in the next 12 months.
1. Your sustainable superstore
You can do pretty much all your sustainable shopping in one place at A Little Find. Stocking beauty, skincare, household goods and even sex tech, all with an eco-friendly bent, being a responsible shopper just got easier.

2. Brilliant basics
Per Diem brings you supermarket basics in style: from compostable coffee pods to amazing olive oil and pasta to eco-friendly laundry tabs, they’ll be delivered every month in the right quantities for your household, leaving you more time to do more interesting things than trudge around Tesco.

3. Single basket shop
Say goodbye to creating wishlists at countless different retailers. Basket is a mobile app and browser extension which lets you save products from any online retailer into one place. Plus, it constantly checks the prices and lets you know when they drop, so you can save money too.

4. Guilt-free breakfast
If you love the sugary cereal classics of your youth, Surreal is for you. Somehow the clever people behind this brand have recreated the cocoa, cinnamon, frosted and peanut butter flavours we crave, but with no sugar.

5. Virtual farmers’ market
Browsing a weekly farmers’ market is a joy for foodies but with Delli, an app created by the founder of Depop, you can buy from local, independent food makers from the comfort of home – any day of the week. And anyone with a kitchen can become a maker. Discover incredible products, chat to makers directly and buy in two taps.

6. Delightful dog food
Never run out of dog food again with a Butternut Box subscription. Every meal is made with human-grade meat and vegetables and gently cooked to create simple, tasty and complete food your furry best friend will love. They deserve the best after all. Price depends on size of dog and frequency of delivery. Small dogs start from around £1.31 a day.

7, 8 and 9. Rent, don’t buy
We all know the disastrous effects fast fashion has on the environment, so rather than snapping up every trend, why not rent beautiful clothes and accessories instead? Not only is it a more eco-conscious way to get dressed, but you’ll also be able to rock designer labels you might not otherwise be able to afford. There are a few sites that rent and resell fashion, but Hurr, By Rotation and My Wardrobe HQ do it best.

10 and 11. Shop old, not new
Getting your hands on incredible pre-loved pieces is easier than ever thanks to the slew of vintage shopping platforms available online. Shop labels such as Ganni, Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney at London institution Sign of the Times, or anyone who wants to shop like a Gen Z should download the FINDS app. Combining social media video content and e-commerce, this second-hand marketplace is how all the kids are selling and buying upcycled fashion. Build a community and buy straight from your favourite creators. It’s the future.
