The 17 Best Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Gift Ideas for Gifting with Our Home Planet in Mind

The 17 Best Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Gift Ideas for Gifting with Our Home Planet in Mind

If you’re anything like us, you are in a constant standoff with the gifting dilemma. We want to send acknowledgment, love, and support, but we also want to avoid thrusting another thing onto the giftee that will just find itself among the waste weeks or months later.

While the key to much of our waste and emission reduction can just be consuming less, consuming smarter can certainly be a step in the right direction. The sentiment behind a gift is what we all focus on. And thinking about the impact of gifts long before and after that initial box opening can make that thought all the more valued. With this in mind, the celebratory moment of gift-giving can be an opportunity to share some of the good feels that come with better-for-the-world products. 

Happy earth-friendly gifting!
