There’s not a season where gifting inspiration isn’t useful! I’m here to make shopping for ethical, sustainable more eco friendly gifts that a bit simpler, and more fun! I LOVE putting together these lists for significant days or seasons!

Well sourced and low impact gifts matter so much, but can be a challenge to find! I love getting to share things we love, to make it easier to think of ways to keep gifting ethical, and with a lighter footprint on the planet. Have a browse!

Let’s find some more ethical, eco friendly gifts for you!

a few of the links in this post are affiliate links so I make a commission if you shop through them! You never pay any more and sometimes it means you pay less. Honestly, there are fewer affiliate links in here than ever before because I want the right gift guide not the one with the most commission.

Parachute Home: Waffle Robe

A little home luxury I love. I was gifted this robe a few years ago and I didn’t use it for a while and now I use it every single day. Sounds silly, but it changes my mornings and makes me feel a bit more grown up and my mornings more functional. It’s been a beautiful gift to own. It’s a super soft and has some comfy thickness too it, and comes in a wide size range from extra small to 3X.

Find it here from female founded parachute

Raaka Chocolate

Millions of dollars of chocolate are gifted each year, it’s a fantastic gift! One thing I always want to ensure is that people are being cared for as I’m gifting. Chocolate is an industry rife with unfair working conditions, insufficient pay, human trafficking and environmental issues so I’m very careful where I buy it! Raaka is a US brand we love for creative, beautiful bars, with fun allergen friendly options (like oat milk chocolate!)

Find them HERE for $40 and free shipping (I think THIS link gets you $10 off too)

Alter Eco Chocolate

Another US Fairtrade and brilliant brand I love doing brilliant things, you can probably find them in a local shop too for a quick and easy gift. And for people who don’t want sugar, their “super blackout” 90% dark bar is delicious!

Find it HERE or locally

Thrive Market for for Budget Friendly Clean/Organic Wine

Thrive is a great service we used in the US and (top tip!) even if you’re not a member (which, save 40% here if you are placing a first order!) you can use the free 30 day trial to send a gift and then cancel! Thrive has lots of things like speciality snacks and chocolates that make great gifts so it’s one to go to to send a quick and easy foodie gift! These EthicDrinks wines are a few of the clean and organic wines that they have on offer in the lower price bracket. Their approach is “ethical wines with a sustainable approach” and they’re vegan as well. Wine is an industry with a lot people don’t expect so I’m slow to drink wine unless I know a bit about how it was grown and made.

Olive Tree from the Sill

I’m always searching for cut flower options that truly feel good but I really just can’t get behind the probable human and it is just not an eco friendly gift option. There are some small farms you may have locally to you that grow seasonally but really, plants are my go to. Plus they bring ongoing benefits too while flowers most likely end up doing more damage in the trash! The Sill is my go to for sending plants and they have a great selection with things like notes on animal friendly options too.

Everlane Recycled Fanny Pack

I was slow to the fanny pack game. I’m slow to grab trends but I use mine aaaaaall the time! It gives two hands for kids while I’m out and about and keeps things close to me during travel. Everlane made this fully recycled one that comes in muted but also bright colours too! They’re a brand committed to transparency in their factories and to reducing their footprint and waste and are a great stepping stone from fast fashion to the world of ethical, lower footprint clothing. See the fanny pack HERE.

Apolis Customized Market Totes

This is the PERFECT mothers day gift (and one I’ve given!) Perfect for a grandparent with the places their children live, or places kids were born, names, or a statement about who someone is like “Gigi’s Market Bag.”

It’s also one they can send quickly so a last minute option too if you need one!

I LOVE these wide cuffs with a sweet meaningful personalisation on the inside. I wear my Soko jewellery every day and love the brand behind it and what I’m supporting when I gift it. Ethically made, modern jewelry from a female founded B corp. You can customize the message on the inside with your order.

ABLE Initial Necklace

I LIVE in my ABLE studs (like these ones) and I love this necklace for kids initials. ABLE is one of the best of the best brands doing everything. They are the only brand I know who publish wages of employees and strive for the deepest transparency, and security for their manufacturers. “Made by women who overcome” is their tagline on jewellery, helping women secure employment in Nashville. It’s a beautiful company.

Nisolo Lori Bag

I’ve had the Lori bag for 5 years as my “diaper bag” and it’s perfect and timeless. Nisolo is a beautiful B Corp brand where everything is made ethically and to be long lasting which is another major factor in waste creation. And check out their Ethical Marketplace too! – it will take care of so much of your holiday shopped list!

Yeti Wine Tumblers + Wine: Under $30

PERFECT gift for the mom who likes wine, and you could add in a bottle of wine (see the Thrive optoins above). We got these in the summer and have used them… a lot. They’re perfect. And bonus they have a magnetic close on the top so they can take a little bit of real life! Another B Corp we love.

Dr Bronners Chocolate + Soap

Dr Bronners are a brand we know for soap and they’ve been on a my radar more and more for their investment in regeneratively growing ingredients. The ideas is to go beyond sustainable to bring repair to the planet through growing in a way that regenerates the natural environment. I LOVE brands that are going above and beyond and Dr Bronners is one of them. Soap, hand wash, moisturizer, chocolate (yep!) and a great one for a mom who really cares about their impact on the planet, with a bit of self care too.

Natural Plant Dye Starter Kit

Last year we dyed 15 t-shirts for kid party favors (Crazy?! Maybe. But fun!) And we did it with black beans. It’s got me really into the world of plant dying! It’s incredible what they can do and so much fun. If you want a more creative, out of the box mothers day gift for an earthy creative mom – this could be a great one! There’s also a bundle for dying a baby onesie! Fabric of Humanity is a great option for a company focused on ethics and organic, safe options in what they create and sell too.

P ackage Free Shop GOTS Organic Cap

I love the package free shop, it’s one of the original zero waste shops in the US and is a female founded, pioneering online marketplace! These GOTS certified (organic!) caps are new to them in white and green and for $14.99 I think they’re a perfect gift for an eco conscious person!

Seed Savers Exchange have gift bundles boxed up that make an easy gift.

Fiddle Leaf Fig from The Sill

Much more sustainable than flowers, and it lives on and keeps cleaning the air and bringing joy for years. all things I value. The Fiddle Leaf Fig is a classic houseplant that needs watering every 1-2 weeks so it’s not a lot of upkeep for whoever you gift it to!

Temperature controlling Ember Mug

Keep coffee at your chosen temperature… all day! THE ideal gift for a mum on the go, busy mom, or mom of little kids who gets distracted and doesn’t get to drink a hot cup. I was given this years ago and it’s the BEST gift! It sits on a little dock and you can set the temperature you want it to keep to.

Plumping Hyaluronic Tinted Lip Balm – on sale 15% off

Skincare meets makeup, in a vegan, heavy metal tested, EWG verified luxe lip balm. Multitasking products are very “in” right now and this is one of those – plumping, hydrating, brings some colour, keeps lips healthy, it’s fab. This one has helped my lips through the winter when they’re chronically dry and I find it hard to wear colour on them. This really has helped keep them hydrated and the colour (Bitten is my fave) is subtle but so pretty. This would make a great little gift!

ABLE Customizable Wristlet + Nashville Tote

I’ve gifted personalised leather from ABLE many times and I think it makes a beautiful, meaningful gift. Not just leather but leather pieces that create jobs for people who often lack opportunity, being paid a living wage with benefits and an empowering culture. This month Nashville based ABLE brought out a “Nashville” tote with 100% of the profits going to the Caring for Covenant fund. This would be a beautiful gift for someone who wants to get a gift that does something for others too.

For the new (or any) mom: Beautycounter Organic Alcohol Hand Sanitizer + Serum

This is a hand sanitizer meets beautiful hand serum with niacinamide in a beautiful glass bottle and a gentle orange scent. The alcohol comes from organic sugar and it’s very gentle on hands but still an effective hand sanitizer. I think it’s a beautiful gift for a new mom to hand on hand, or for someone who travels and wants a gorgeous hand serum while keeping hands clean!

Rothy’s Recycled Plastic Shoes

This would make a stunning gift! Timeless classic shoes made from recycled plastic bottles, pulled from within 30 miles of coastlines.

Then transparency, each coffee is accompanied by its pricing and trade data. So you can see what was paid for it, who it was bought from, and other details.

PACT Pajamas

I first tried PACT when they were way cheaper! But they’re now priced how they probably should be and are so worth the spend. Fairtrade and organic and one of my go to ethical, eco friendly bands. There’s another pajama brand I see people share a ton that I have tried (and it is wonderful) BUT there is no effort towards ethics, transparency in production or any kind of eco attention and that’s not the way I want to shop or gift!

I’ve lived in PACT pajamas and underwear for years and they are so soft and wonderful WITH the knowledge they’re actually doing good.
