It’s that time of year again, you know the ….. I always want to find the perfect gifts for my friends & family but the more gifts I buy, the more waste and plastic I’m purchasing. This doesn’t mean I can;t give gifts, it just means it’s important to purchase sustainable and eco-friendly gifts for our friends.
All of the brands I have listed prioritize sustainability, whether they use recycled products, sustainable packaging, and good production practices. These brands are guilt free and you can feel good about your holiday purchases this year!
