 Sustainable Gifts 

We recently wrote an article about sustainable home decor, much of which could work as sustainable gifts; however, in the spirit of the season, we’re offering even more ideas! These items could be perfect if you don’t know the recipient well, or if you do and you know that sustainability is important to them. Keep reading for our top sustainable gift ideas that are sure to make them smile.

Our Top 5 Sustainable Gift Ideas

1. Bamboo Bed Sheets 


We might be a little biased because we make them, but these are truly the most luxurious, soft, and comfortable sheets out there. If you know the recipient’s bed size, gift them a set of these sheets to improve their sleep quality and make them happy, knowing their bedding is made with eco-friendly premium viscose from bamboo. Bed sheets make the perfect sustainable gift because they last for years and can be recycled when you’re done with them. Additionally, these sheets come in a super cute reusable tote bag, a bonus sustainable gift in itself!

2. Candles – Some candles are crafted from paraffin wax which is sourced from a petroleum by-product that releases harmful chemicals when burned. Cozy Earth candles have a low environmental impact since they are created with a blend of soy and coconut wax. Additionally, they are poured into a hand-glazed ceramic container that can be reused for a variety of things once the candle has finished burning. No more tossing out old candle jars when you’re done with them! Learn about the scents we offer and go ahead and grab one for you or a friend today!

3. Socks


Are you looking for a sustainable gift idea on a tight budget? We recommend socks! An essential everyone uses (often year-round), socks make an excellent birthday, Hanukkah, or sustainable Christmas gift. Just think – easy to stuff into a stocking and quick to wrap for a Secret Santa or White Elephant present – what’s not to love? Our socks don’t wear out quickly, making them cozy, yet functional, sustainable gifts.

4. Bamboo Stretch Knit Scrunchies

From teens and tweens to adults, everybody with longer hair loves a scrunchie! Our premium scrunchies are known for being luxurious and eco-friendly, made from bamboo viscose and spandex. Whether you prefer an updo, a low pony, or a messy bun look, our scrunchies are the perfect alternative to uncomfortable hair elastics. This set of three scrunchies comes in a reusable bag and makes an excellent stocking stuffer!

5. Lucky Bamboo 


We know. It’s not technically the same as real bamboo, but if you want to gift something environmentally friendly that will remind your loved one of your sustainability intentions, we recommend supporting a local nursery and purchasing a plant like lucky bamboo. These indoor plants can easily grow in soil or water, only require watering once per week, and come in a variety of vases and containers.
