Hey earth muffins! To wrap up my gift guides this season (pun intended!), I thought it would be fun to share some stocking stuffer ideas. I have always been a huge fan of small gifts in stockings; it is such a great way to add in a few extra bits and pieces to spoil your loved ones! π Never fear – you can also ensure your stocking stuffers are eco-friendly as well… A bonus gift to Mother Earth. πβ€οΈ Let’s jump right into the best stocking stuffers for 2020!
Kooshoo Plastic Free Hair Accessories
I was lucky to be gifted some products from Kooshoo this holiday season… Their products are amazing! Not only are the hair ties and scrunchies plastic free, they are also organic AND biodegradable. I don’t understand how they don’t contain plastic, as they work exactly like the other scrunchies/hair ties I have been using for years. The product comes in paper, recyclable packaging which is another huge win. I’m wearing one of the scrunchies in my hair as I type this post; I’m excited to continue to rock these sustainable hair accessories! π
Superzero Trial Size Shampoo Bar
I’ve reviewed a lot of shampoo bars on this blog, including my current favorite Lush’s Jumping Juniper. If you know of someone who is just starting their eco journey, it might be a smart idea to opt for a smaller sized bar instead of gifting them a full sized for the holidays. This helps reduce waste if they end up not liking the shampoo! It also nudges them in the right direction for a simple bathroom swap. Superzero is a brand new company that I was lucky enough to provide my input on as they developed. Conny, the owner, is so hardworking – I highly recommend checking out the awesome bar products on her site! π
Fruit!
That’s right – legit fruit. Instead of stuffing a stocking full of candy in plastic wrappers, think about delicious fruits that already have wrappers. Oranges, pomegranate, and pears are great Christmas fruit suggestions; but, you could also just give them their favorite kind! The waste from this present can easily be composted instead of tossed, which saves food waste from going to the landfill. π
Spot It Tin Game (Amazon Affiliate Link)
There are so many great games in metal tins these days… But Spot It is one of my favorites! This game is fast paced, easy to play, and will definitely create some competition for the family. I actually found the one I have at a thrift store for $0.70, which was an incredible deal; but, on Amazon it is still only $10. Tin games fit perfectly in any stocking, so it fits the best stocking stuffers category for sure!
Reusable Fabric Gift Wrap
I was ordering some gifts off of Lush this year and was so excited to see that they are offering fabric wraps to purchase! These can be used to wrap presents instead of using single use wrapping paper, which is (obviously) so wasteful. I will be wrapping all of my family’s gifts in these this year. If you don’t want to buy them new, you could also make them with fabric you have around the house or that you find at a thrift store! I think it is a cool idea to wrap a small gift with them for the stocking; then, they can use it next year to wrap presents for others! π What are the best stocking stuffers you will be giving this year?
Love,
