Christmas is nearing which means having an amazing dinner with loved ones and exchanging gifts. If you are looking for affordable gifts, take a look at this post where I share 30 sustainble stocking stuffers under $15. However if you budget allows for a bit more, you can find some incredible eco-friendly gifts below to help your loved ones on their zero waste journey.
Kitchen Gifts
Unpaper towels
Most of us cannot imagine life without our paper kitchen towels, but if you want to live sustainable, then these unpaper towels are the zero waste kitchen solution you were looking for. They are both functional (and reusable) while also looking beautiful. This shop has over 40 different prints to be sure there is one that fits your moms' kitchen perfectly.
Vegan wrap set
Storing leftover food without plastic can be a bit of a challenge. Especially if you also want it to be vegan as beeswax wraps are getting quite popular and more accessible. These, however, are just like regular beeswax wraps, but are made with candelilla wax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. So these are completely cruelty free and vegan! Like beeswax wraps, these are moldable with the warmth of your hands so you can cover the bowl with leftovers.
Zero waste coffee maker
Most people love a cup of coffee in the morning. Next to being more eco-friendly, the stainless steel mesh filter that helps extract your coffee's aromatic oils and subtle flavors as these are not being absorbed by a paper coffee filter.
Organic coffee
Next to making a zero waste cup of coffee, make sure that the beans used are also as sustainably produced as possible. Organically produced coffee beans have received less pesticides during production of coffee beans and this brand also support small local producers in Latin America.
Teapot
Do you have tea drinkers in the family? How about a gorgeous teapot to make their drinks much more enjoyable? I love this glass design but there are many more amazing prints available to fit everyones style. There are even ones that come with a tea infuser to make creating a zero waste cup of tea even easier.
Organic tea set
Flying Bird Botanicals herbal tea set is the perfect way to explore tea with a sustainable way. This tea is USDA-certified organic and features 4 delicious artisan-made blends; Peace of Mind, Farm and Forest, Morning Bluebird, and Dream Catcher. Each tea blend is made with organically grown herbs sourced from local farmers in the Pacific Northwest and select international partners with safe and fair labor practices so you can be sure you can enjoy your tea guilt free.
Nut milk kit
Milk is, in most cases, sold in either plastic or a carton which is challenging to recycle. You can avoid this by making delicious nut milk with a Nut Milk Kit. This kit has everything you need to get started with a NutMilk Filter, designed to last a least a year of use, and a convenient canning jar. Then, add water and your favorite nut milk recipe, and you will be good to go! Read more about plant-based milk alternatives to cow milk.
What makes this kit great is that it is not limited to nut milk but can also be used to make cold brew coffee or tea.
Christmas gift box
The holidays don’t have to be wasteful if you can give a sustainable gift box. This Christmas gift box helps you to get your home into a festive mood in an eco-friendly way.
What is in the box?
Grow a Christmas tree kit
