Eco Friendly Gifts
Organic Cotton Knitted Weighted Blanket
Most weighted blankets look like comforters. But this chunky knitted blanket offers a more casual look.
Made with organic cotton, the weighted throw could reduce stress and improve sleep, according to medical research.
Solar Powered Flickering Candles
Enjoy flickering candle light without the worry of actual flames with these solar powered candles. These eco friendly gifts from MPOWERD (they have a variety of lights, including solar powered string lights, too) are reusable and perfect for sustainable living, whether at home or camping.
AveSeena Skincare
AveSeena skincare products are a luxurious way to soothe your skin with all natural ingredients. This doctor-created skin care system is made with effective, natural ingredients that protect against Inflammaging, which is the combined effects of natural aging and inflammation from a variety of environmental pollutants, stress, lack of sleep, etc.
The Ageless Perfection cream has a soft floral fragrance that smells so good! And the Honeyactive Beauty Mask is amazing. It’s thick and rick and packed with soothing ingredients to rejuvenate skin.
Fifth Origins Fashion
Fifth Origins is a company that is committed to ethical and sustainable fashion. Their cruelty-free wool is sourced directly from the sheep herders in the Himalaya mountains.
Choose from popular fashion accessories such as capes, scarves, shawls and jewelry. Eco-friendly dyes are used to make the vibrant colors, and the wool is woven on a traditional hand loom.
The Cape Infinity is a versatile fashion accessory that can be worn in a variety of ways. The scarves are soft and indulgent, while the bracelets will add color to your outfit.
Water Painting Buddha Board
Give the gift of relaxation with this water painting BUDDHA BOARD. Paint images on the eco conscious reusable canvas using water and a bamboo brush. As the image evaporates, a clean slate is revealed for a new image. Perfect for encouraging mindfulness and relaxation.
Eco Friendly Lunch Bag
Help them be more eco-friendly by bringing their lunch to work. These Ru Supply Company bags are ethically and sustainably made from recycled polyester and yarn. I love mine because the spill-resistant and machine washable bags roll up and snap in place to only use the space you need.
Reusable Straw
We love this GoSili silicone reusable straw that comes in bright colors and has its own carrying tin. Perfect for throwing in a purse or backpack! Plus, the price is super affordable!
Insulated Food and Beverage Container: BKLYN Bento
It doesn’t get any easier to give an eco-friendly gift than to choose a reusable food and beverage container. It works great to keep either soups or coffee hot or cocktails cold!
While there are many insulated containers out there, I’m super impressed with BKLYN Bento’s aesthetic! The cracked coal finish (also available in white Snow Crystal) is paired with a wood look top, and is perfect for men and women. Plus, they included a reusable bamboo spoon with your food jar.
The inner wall is lined with copper to keep food or drink at its temperature, something unusual compared to competitors.
Three different sizes, from small to large, make this a great addition for on-the-go meals for work, camping and traveling.
Branch Basics
Giving green cleaning products might not sound exciting at first. But once they try this super-powerful, non-toxic concentrate that cleans everything effectively without any nasty smells, they’ll love it starting with spring cleaning on January 1!

Bambu Products
Bambu has created a variety of home goods out of the bamboo plant, a rapidly renewable plant source. The company uses sustainable materials such as cork and organic cotton for modern chic homewares, including trays, cork bowls and kitchen utensils.
Made Trade
You can find the most amazing things for the home (along with sustainable fashion, too!) at Made Trade.
Their products are “ethically elevated,” which means they could be sustainable, Fair Trade, Vegan, USA Made, 100% carbon neutral shipping or a combination of those values.
Solar Panel Charger
The power of the sun is a miraculous thing. And when they have this folding solar panel power station, they can harness it to charge cell phones anywhere (especially great for campers, RVers and preppers).
What’s great about this Jackery portable solar panel is that it can be partnered with their portable generator to go completely off-grid.
Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottles
There are A LOT of stainless steel insulated water bottles out there. But the best ones I’ve found are Hydro Flask.
Hot liquids stay hot for hours, and ice stays solid for up to a day. Plus, I’ve dropped them quite frequently and they are still holding up strong.
Reusable Makeup Remover Pads
These makeup remover pads can be washed to reuse again and again. Perfect for removing face and eye makeup, as well as washing the face.
The pads come in a variety of organic materials and start at around $10.
Reusable Coffee Filters
Pretty much the perfect gift for any coffee lover! They can ditch the disposable cups and soggy paper filters and use these reusable coffee filters for the perfect cup of java.
Beeswax Wraps
Beeswax wraps replace the need to use plastic wrap, disposable plastic bags or even aluminum foil. Instead, cover dishes with these moldable food wraps.
Bonus: This set also comes with a produce shopping bag and 2 beeswax bars!
Stainless Steel Storage Containers
I really love ECOLunchbox solid stainless steel bowls with flexible silicone lids that stay on. These are among the best non-toxic stainless steel reusable containers that I have found. Perfect for travel and bringing lunch to work!
Reusable Notebook
Love sketching or jotting down notes? But hate wasting paper? Then the Everlast Notebook by Rocketbook is the perfect solution!
Everlast Notebook by Rocketbook has been the number one selling notebook on Amazon. It’s no wonder why. The zero waste gift never runs out of pages.
This ingenious notebook system allows for doodling, drawing, sketching, note taking – anything that would be written down on paper. Just use a pen from the Pilot Frixion line of pens. Then scan the page with an app and your work is saved to the Cloud. Afterwards, simply wipe off the pages and you’ll have a blank canvas.
Selk Bag
A Selk Bag is basically a wearable sleeping bag. It is a brilliant invention for staying warm while being active!
Made from 100% recycled materials, these jumpsuits made for outdoor adventures will keep you toasty warm when the weather is cold. Ideal for campers, hikers, ice fishers, sitting around a campfire or preppers.
Smartly designed pockets allow you to access the clothing you are wearing underneath the bag, such as in pants pockets or shirt pockets. The footies zip off for wearing while walking. Or keep them on while sleeping. The Selk Bag rolls up tightly and can easily fit back into the small duffel bag it is stored in.
See my review of the Selk Bag Lite, and the sizing that worked for me, in the video below.
Cork Handbags
I love cork purses. I have a few, and they are definitely a conversation starter! This cork accessories store on Etsy sells the most amazing cork purses, jewelry and shoes. Prices are pretty low, with many purses starting around $25.
All Natural Room Spray
Eden Garden’s pure essential room spray is perfect for freshening up any room in the house, or to lightly spray bedding. I absolutely love the Frankincense Lime Room Spray made with 100% pure essential oils and packaged in a reusable glass bottle. (Check out the other unique scents, too!)
Wood Blocks
Encourage non-motorized play with these classic natural wood blocks. Not only will you be supporting a small business, but the ingredients list includes good vibes, happy thoughts and Minnesota nice (and who wouldn’t want to give that to kids?).
You might also check out Roy Toy Wooden blocks and log cabin sets, too.
Wood Puzzle
This cute wooden puzzle is perfect for kids. Make it an extra special gift by having it personalized. BannorToys handcrafts a variety of wooden toys for kids of all ages. You’re going to want to get more than one of their heirloom toys!
