Whether it’s a birthday, a holiday, an anniversary, or even a baby or bridal shower, gift-giving can be hard enough as it is. But, throw a devoted environmentally conscious friend into the mix, and that gift-shopping just became quite a bit more challenging.
Get creative while also getting them something they will not only love, but that they’ll also be able to use. There are some great gifts for an environmentally friendly, and we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of 15 gifts that are great for an ecologically conscious individual.
- Bamboo keyboard
Bamboo is actually one of the most sustainable woods on the planet. Durable, versatile, stylish, and easy to grow, there’s quite a few items on this list that are made of bamboo. This bamboo computer set comes with a keyboard and a mouse made of bamboo wood, and are incredibly well made. Unique and stylish, it’s a gift that is likely something they wouldn’t have expected, but also something they’re certain to love.
- Recycled journal
Journals are always a great gift, as they promote writing, thinking, medication, and other healthy habits. These journals are handmade and are uniquely designed and made from prints, paper bags, fabrics or materials, and leftover newsprints for a hand-crafted journal like no one else has.
- Sustainable clothing
With activewear, tees, tanks, tops, bottoms, sweaters, and jackets, this line of men and women’s clothing is environmentally friendly and made from sustainable and recyclable materials. Cute, stylish, and durable, this line is beautifully simplistic and made of quality material. A bit on the higher side with regards to price, they’re well worth the cost.
- Reusable water bottle
Reusable water bottles are all the rage right now, because they’re convenient to carry, help us drink the necessary amount of water to remain healthy, and come in a variety of colors and styles. The Kool8 bottle is a great choice because not only is it fully insulated and made of strong, durable materials, but it even has a tea diffuser built into the bottle for a little extra burst of flavor.
- Bamboo sunglasses
Bamboo’s lightweight and light-colored wood just make it perfect for so many different products. These sunglasses use the light-colored wood to frame these polarized frames to protect your eyes from the blinding sun come summer. With a range of colored lenses, these bamboo frames are stylish while also being useful.
- Bath products for men and women
With products from sustainable and regenerative farming, as well as a focus on fair trade products, this collection of bath items includes shampoos, conditioners, lotions, body washes, scrubs face washes, and other luxurious items for both men and women. Their minimal packaging means you’re not using plastics in a bottle or other non-sustainable materials. You use 100% of what you buy.
- Sustainable shoes
These are a pretty widely recognized product, which is why they’re always great for gifts. Not only are they good for the environment, but they’re good for the world, since the purchase of them supports the provision of shoes to children in poverty. With both men, women, and children’s lines, as well as an entire range of styles and types of shoes, these are a great gift option for anyone.
- Recycled iPad case
While we’re focusing on this beautifully constructed iPad case, you’ll find recyclable cases are available for phones, laptops, and any other devices you might have. Made entirely from recycled products, these unique and hand-crafted cases and covers will be a pleasant and delightful surprise for your giftee.
- Repurposed bracelets
These bracelets not only evoke cool, stress-free, beachy vibes, but they’re made entirely from recycled materials, specifically plastic removed from the ocean. Not to mention, the purchase of each bracelet supports the removal of one full pound of trash from the ocean.
- Bamboo watch
Watches have long been ideal gift options because of their neutrality as a gift; you can give one to your mother or your partner, your friend or your sibling. These bamboo watches are great for the exact same reasons the other bamboo products were: bamboo is a highly sustainable material, easy to grow, good for the earth, and sustainable to harvest. These watches come in a variety of styles and colors to choose from.
The best gifts are the ones we can wear or use guilt-free, and that keep us living and promoting a sustainable lifestyle. Whether it’s bamboo, recycled plastic, or some other material, there are plenty of eco-friendly options for you to choose from that don’t sacrifice quality for environmentally conscious goods!
