Before You Start Shopping, Read This!

How this List Was Put Together

The most eco friendly gifts are the ones that leave the minimum environmental footprint. In compiling this gift list, I’ve adhered to these guidelines:

  • Identifying reasonably-priced products that your gift recipient will love.
  • Selecting products that avoid generating waste in every aspect of production.
  • Researching the product manufacturers to ensure they receive high marks for circular-focused and sustainable business practices.

That said, before you purchase anything new, consider other ways of giving–detailed below–and use this gift list as a supplement to your holiday gift-giving.

Green Gift Giving Tips

For an exhaustive overview of how you can green your gift-giving, see Green That Life’s Gift Giving Guide. It includes sustainable shopping tips, eco friendly gift wrapping options, ways to minimize packaging and waste, and eco friendly gift ideas for everyone on your gift list.
