Gift-giving is a beautiful way to express love, gratitude, and appreciation for the people in our lives, yet traditional gifting practices often leave a significant ecological footprint.
So to help you find the perfect gifts for your loved ones that align with their unique interests and personalities as well as your commitment to shop with our planet in mind, I made a list (and checked it twice) of over 100 of my favorite gifts and organized them into four different categories. I chose a variety of items at all different price points, but all of these potential presents have a few things in common – each and every one of them is ecofriendly/low waste, thoughtful, and either sentimental or practical.
Sustainable gifting is a meaningful way to express our love and appreciation while minimizing our impacts on the environment. By supporting sustainable brands we can create a positive for the planet and the people we love. That said, I hope these guides have helped you knock out some of your holiday shopping this year.
