As we move into the Holiday season, now is the perfect time to start considering the impacts our day-to-day purchases over the next few months will have on the environment. A growing number of companies are spending the time and effort to integrate and prioritize sustainability into their business. Striving to be an eco-conscious consumer is much easier than you might realize!
I’ve curated a list of nice gifts for that eco-conscious friend or family member in your life! Join me below as I share some of my favorite gift ideas and how each company is committed to doing its part for a healthier, better planet.
Keep in mind that these companies may have a sustainability practice in place which could make shipping take a little bit longer than your amazon-style 2 day shipping.
I only share companies and products that I have researched, used, and truly believe are better for our planet than their alternatives. I am an ambassador, affiliate, and cheerleader for these businesses. I may earn a commission if you click through and purchase items on their respective sites by using my links and special discount codes! By supporting these companies, you are also supporting my small business and I greatly appreciate you.

Two friends named Griffin and Paul took a trip down to Costa Rica. After a fun, laid-back day, they ran into two artists named Jorge and Joaquin. They caught the simple beauty of Costa Rica by using colorful string for their bracelets. Unfortunately, like many artisans, they were struggling to make ends meet. Griffin and Paul asked them to make 400 bracelets for them to take back to the US to sell.
The bracelets were sold in just a few days at a boutique. They aren’t just a beautiful piece to wear, they are a celebration of the simple life, or “Pura Vida”, Spanish for “pure life”. I’m sure we could all use a little more “Pura Vida” now and always!
They have since grown their family to over 800 artists from Costa Rica, El Salvador and more. They have also partnered with over 175 charities around the world, raising over 2 million dollars a number of environmental and humanitarian causes. To boot, their packaging is biodegradable!
