Eco Friendly Gifts: The Gift Guide for Your Crunchy Friend

This gift guide is for your friend that talks about their morning meditation practice, asks how the chickens were raised before ordering at restaurants, and throws harvest moon parties. They won’t be interested in throw-away fashion items or plastics, but they will love these organic and bamboo filled eco-friendly gifts that make their life and mother nature’s life a little easier.

Sustainable Kitchen and Dining

Mason Jars: Because you can never have enough containers as a chef, and these are better than plastic. Etee food covers: Reusable non-plastic food covers that can save all of your delicious creations without filling the landfill. Reusable Nut Milk Bag: If you’ve ever made your own nut-milk, you know that these are super handy to strain all the almond pulp.

Reusable Cloth Snack Bags: Why waste zip locks when you can carry your snacks in adorable fox bags? Reusable and adorable. Enough said. Get a pack of three so you never run out.

Organic Numi Rooibos Chai: For when they need to sip and think about their next creation, or scroll Pinterest, or to go with their new gluten-free, paleo scones.

Eco-Conscious Lifestyle and Wellness

The Five Minute Journal: As advertised by the company, happiness in just 5 minutes a day. The quickest way to bring some extra gratitude in your life, this journal guides you through a daily practice of reflection and gratitude, changing your perspective and outlook on life, in just 5 minutes a day.

Bamboo Essential Oils Diffuser with Free Essential Oil: So that you can have the everlasting scent and energy from your oils and stay in style. This diffuser has a natural-looking vibe and is made from sustainable wood. Plus it allows you to have a nice fragrant aroma without aerosols or toxic sprays.

Bar soap: Because it is better for the environment than liquid detergents.

Sustainable Fashion and Accessories

Peruvian Pocket Crew Sweathshirt: These pieces are handmade and signed by the women who make them in traditionally impoverished areas. KK Intl is working to bring people out of poverty by providing jobs and sustainable craft goods. Plus, this orange sweatshirt is adorable and the comfiest.

Hand Woven Bag with Vegan Leather Straps: Made by the same company, this Cooper bag is perfect for all your yoga gear, a shopping trip to the flea market or an overnighter.

Biodegradable iPhone or Android Case: On a mission to reduce plastic and keep your phone and the earth safe at the same time!

Fitness and Everyday Essentials

A Reusable Coffee Mug: What’s more sustainable than kicking the habit of a daily disposable coffee cup? This stainless steel travel mug has a lock-sealed lid to prevent spills. It’s important to avoid plastics for reusable mugs as hot liquids have been shown to leach plasticizers and other endocrine disruptors out of the container and into your food. Stainless steel and glass are great options. I prefer stainless steel because it is more durable.

Swell Water Bottle: Reusable metal water bottles that fit easily into any bag and never leak. It’s also double insulated so it will stay cold (or warm) all day.

Yoga Mat made from reused wetsuits: I bet recycled wetsuits feel great under your feet in dancer pose. Natural Yoga Mat: Natural non-toxic materials means you can sweat it out on this mat worry-free.
