Best Last-Minute Sustainable Gifts

'Tis the season of joy, and what better way to spread cheer than by giving gifts that are not only thoughtful but also kind to our planet? In this fast-paced world, last-minute shopping is inevitable, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on sustainability. Join us in celebrating the holidays with a green touch by exploring these easy, last-minute sustainable gifts.

‍

Experience Gift Cards

Gift the joy of experiences with eco-friendly gift cards from local businesses. Whether it's a spa day, cooking class, or outdoor adventure, you're not only giving a memorable experience but also supporting local economies. According to a study by Small Business Trends, every dollar spent at a small business contributes 67 cents to the local economy.

Thrifted Gift Baskets

Create personalized gift baskets using locally sourced, artisanal products and thrifted goods. We recommend locally made candles, prints from local artists, and thrifted knick knacks. If everyone bought one used item instead of a new one this holiday season, we’d save 4.5 billion pounds of carbon, the equivalent of planting 66 million trees, and 25 billion gallons of water!

Subscription to Eco-Friendly Products

Give the gift that keeps on giving with a subscription to eco-friendly products such as sustainable beauty items, organic snacks, or eco-conscious home goods. We recommend subscriptions from Grove or Nuuly!

Donations to Environmental Charities:

For a truly meaningful gift, consider making a donation to environmental charities on behalf of your loved ones. This not only supports important causes, but aligns with the spirit of giving without creating any waste. We recommend Intersectional Environmentalist or The Solutions Project.
