11 Eco-Friendly Gifts For People Who Won’t Stop Talking About Greta Thunberg

One thing your loved one most certainly needs and will use during a pandemic? Soap. These festive sets from Lush come tied together with a cotton wrap that can double as a hand towel. Plus, if you can’t pick it up in person, Lush ships items in recyclable and compostable packaging.

For the person who’s already on the bar soap game but just needs a fancy place to store them. Bonus: These dishes help soaps last even longer in the shower, meaning less waste in the long run.

Give the literal gift of life with a new houseplant—or even a packet of seeds for your DIY friend. If the plant ever dies (sad), it can be composted and the pot reused.

When you’ve burned through this candle, simply order a wax refill from the same site and get lit again and again and again. 

After months of vigorously washing up, a luxurious hand cream is a no-brainer gift. This one in particular won a Good Housekeeping award for its sustainable, recyclable packaging.

Girlfriend Collective has its own ReGirlfriend program where customers can send back old items that then get recycled into new apparel. Just make sure you purchase a Girlfriend Collective Compressive piece, since those are the only ones that qualify. (Also, their bras are just really, really comfy.)

Once you have this solid moisturizer and its accompanying bamboo storage case, you can buy plastic-free refills and keep on indulging. 

A surefire way to ensure a present gets used? Make it edible. This tea gift box from Pukka is made from recycled paper and can be put in your home recycling or compost, while the individual teas come in their own recyclable envelopes. 

This botanical dyeing kit—which comes with organic flowers for transforming your clothes—is an eco-friendly way to get your tie-dye fix. 

This face mask from Christy Dawn is made entirely of deadstock (read: leftover) silk and comes in five different colors.

For that special someone who’s been wanting to compost but needs a cute bin to get started.
