Knowing someone enjoyed or was able to use your gift is one of the best holiday season feelings, Luckily, there are plenty of gifts that are zero waste from which to choose. Here are some of our favorites.
Under $100
Digital magazine subscription
There’s something for every interest and budget.
Glass teapot
Glass is one of the most sustainable materials, plus you can watch the blooming tea flowers expand!
cOLLAPSIBLE CUP
Never get caught using a disposable cup again. Compact enough to tote around everyday. Bring a drink from home and easily store the cup in your bag afterwards, eliminating the need for pricey coffee runs entirely.
Bento box
These lunch boxes are not only trendy, but they’re great for the diligent lunch-packer in your life. This eliminates the need for tons of different containers and streamlines them all into one neatly wrapped package.
Reusable tote bags with character!
These handy and durable little tote folds neatly into a small square so you can always keep it on hand for whenever you need to run to the store, helping to reduce plastic use.
For Days membership
The company guarantees that all t-shirts sent in will be responsibly upcycled into new fabric. Each For Days item (tees, tanks) comes with a lifetime membership - you’re only charged $8 when you want to swap. Whenever you're ready for something new, swap any item, anytime...forever! When you get your new threads you send your old ones back to them to be recycled. That’s as close to a closed loop system as we’ve seen yet!
Package free soaps
A nice package free soap or shampoo is incredibly useful and a bit of a splurge that makes it perfect for gifting.
Something homemade
Homemade gifts are often the most appreciated and sustainable gifts.
$100+
Massage or spa gift certificate
The sky is the limit here! Anything from a manicure up to a full day of relaxation.
Tickets to the local symphony, ballet or opera
Sustainable lifestyle reboot
The Sustainable Wardrobe Course (from yours truly!) will help them define their purpose, values and signature style - tying it all together so they can show up confidently and powerfully as their best self every day.
Sustainable jewelry
Look for items made from recycled and fair trade materials like something from Aurate, which uses 100% recycled gold.
