Think of that sweater you got several Christmases ago or all those cliche festive “classics” like photo frames, socks, or bath bombs.
The biggest problem with these gifts is not that they’re done-to-death gift choices (although they are) — rather, they do little for you, and, most importantly, the environment.
So, this year, why not shake things up a little with gifts that give back to the environment?
By choosing eco-friendly gift options, your choices will be infused with both positive impact and purpose. Like our BrandUplift Program, eco-friendly gifts show what you’re all about, letting people in on what matters most to you.
Are you stumped for ideas? Here are some eco-conscious gift items to get your holiday shopping list started.
But first…
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Gifts This Holiday Season?
From statement plastic mugs to synthetic novelty items, various gifts on many holiday shopping lists do more harm than good. Many of these items are non-biodegradable, so they add to the already hefty mountain of waste that poisons topsoil and even nearby water sources.
What if you could still give presents and take away from the environmental harm done by waste? This is where eco-conscious gifts come in.
Eco-friendly gift items consist of sustainable and biodegradable materials. As a result, if your recipient were to discard them, there would be little negative impact on the environment, and you can rest easy knowing you did your share for a greener planet.
In short, eco-friendly gifts are much like our marketing approaches — sustainable, impactful, and symbolic of your positive values.
4 Sustainable Holiday Gift Ideas to Share the Joy Responsibly
Without further ado, here are four items that are as stylish as they are sustainable.
Toad & Co Clothing
Toad & Co is a clothing company known for its incorporation of sustainable fibers in its products. The brand manufactures all its clothing items using 80% eco-friendly materials.
There are numerous certifications that speak volumes of the brand’s commitment to a waste-free world. One of these is an OEKO-TEX® certification, which is awarded only to companies that have little to no reliance on hazardous chemicals in the manufacturing process.
Besides this, Toad & Co supports various causes, meaning your purchases partly fund charities of your choosing. Buying from Toad & Co is a lot like our personalized social media marketing strategies where you can select who benefits from your patronage.
Hemlock Park Candles
Here’s a brand that’s lighting up the way to a better and greener planet — one tree at a time.
Hemlock Park sells sustainable and ambiance-amping candles on Amazon, with thousands of positive reviews from satisfied shoppers. From the company’s apothecary candles to its sought-after coconut wax candles, every item is a sure hit if you’re gifting to friends and loved ones who desire a cozy vibe that’s akin to camping in cedar-populated woods.
Hemlock Park also shows its Earth-friendly commitment through its “One Tree Planted” initiative. Under this program, the company donates a percentage of its proceeds and shows buyers how the profits are used.
The company’s transparency is a lot like our Aliste quarterly metric reports, where we fill you in on everything from engagements to conversions.
Me Mother Earth Biodegradable Floss
Dental floss may seem like the best thing since sliced bread if you’re dialing in oral hygiene, but because it’s often made from Teflon and nylon, its impact on the plant isn’t so great.
Fortunately, Me Mother Earth is changing the floss game with its biodegradable and vegan-friendly dental floss. The brand’s floss is made with 100% natural candelilla wax, making it an excellent way to stuff stockings without the added waste after disposal.
The dental floss delivers on the brand’s promise of precision and sustainability — much like our impactful data-driven strategies that leverage real-time metrics for your campaign’s long-term success.
Rocketbook Core Reusable Spiral Notebook
Are you looking for a functional, sustainable, and biodegradable gift idea? If so, you can’t go wrong with Rocketbook’s reusable spiral notebooks.
The company’s minimalist reusable notebooks are available in several color palates and consist of recycled premium-dotted paper — but there’s more to this sustainable product than its eco-friendly materials. Rocketbook also designs its notebooks to sync with cloud storage, meaning you can save notes, sketches, and even Christmas doodles with the company’s phone app.
When you choose these notebooks, you’re getting the same efficiency and organization as our social media marketing program which develops bespoke strategies for your brand minus the waste.
