I aspire to have your morals and no waste standards, you are my hero! You keep it real, and I need that! I am 56, and really need to scale down my life to what really matters. My children have now left home, and I really, really do not need even a third of the things stuffed in my small flat. I love your videos, I find you have the right expectations, and show a realistic way to start going waste free! 😁 😁

[@nyapp.p]

I just wanted to say that you've really inspired me to have a eco-friendly lifestyle. Even tho it's really hard to do that in India and in the Philippines, I still find ways and get ideas from your vids :)) thank you for creating amazing vids :D

A good eco friendly gift to give someone is one of those adopt an endangered animal programs! I’m lucky enough to know I’m getting one of a chimpanzee this year :3

@@rimurutempest3204 not endangered animals but a similar option is Heifer.org You buy livestock that are donated to developing countries with the caveat that they give the offspring to another family to continue the chain of life improvements. We have given bees, chickens, and cows in my family!

Another good one is handmade soaps! You can often get them packageless and I make essential oil bar soaps as well at otterly clean soaps on etsy. I use seed paper and canvas bags to wrap. Most of them are vegan and they're actually 10% off until next month on the 19th 😊

[@evelynkrull5268]

Also theres lots of other people on etsy, I just know I only ship in cardboard and have sustainable soap materials. I'll ne adding some more products soon too like soap on a soap or lavender bath salts ✌🏻 happy holidays yall hope you find the perfect gifts, wherever you shop

thank you.

[@henriettelinkshanderin1449]

When I met my husband he told me about this tradition in his family: They only give presents to the children in the family because Jesus was the only one to receive gifts from the three Magi. Mary, Joseph, the three Magi and the shepherds did not exchange gifts. I have to admit I was a bit appalled by that at first but then I saw the beauty in it. Kids depend on grown ups to fulfil their wishes, they can't just buy stuff for themselves. And it is so hard for the kids to find something to give to all those grown ups who already have everything they need. And what they can't afford, how could a child afford to buy it??? I know some families who do secret Santa and I think that is a nice idea for people who don't want to do completely without gift giving.

[@kasironi]

My family has done this the last 2 years and it’s gone lovely. The way we see it we’re all adults and can buy what we want when we want it, so there is no need to generically exchange $20 gift cards to each other haha. Instead of present time we’ve added a lot more games into our Christmas party which creates lots of laughs and good memories.

[@littlelambwatts5604]

My family and I have been doing this for years haha it started with everyone just being poor so we would all make food for the big lunch we had and get little thing for each of the kids but now that we could all buy gift for everyone we just don't feel the need to. We go so used to not doing it that it's just a habit haha

[@rachelsimons2040]

There are no kids in my family, so if this was our tradition we’d just be wrapping up the cat food 😅

[@DeltaGlam11]

I’ve thrifted a lot of gifts this year

[@marleenjones407]

DeltaGlam11 yessss same! I’ve been looking throughout the year when I’m in a thrift store and if I saw something I grabbed it and saved it!

[@Toffnm]

Im sewing reusable gift bags from scrap fabrics Ive had for years.

[@heatherlarson2533]

I'm doing the same!

[@clarissagutierrez5015]

Ohh you should do a tutorial! I have so many scraps and I’m a beginner too

[@Toffnm]

@@clarissagutierrez5015 No fancy tutorial, but I can tell you how I make the most basic bags. Use a piece of fabric that is about twice the lenght than its width. Lay it on the tabletop, pattern side down. Then fold a strip about 1 inch/2,5cm thich along the longest side, press with an iron and then sew it down along the raw edge so you have a gap about 1,5-2cm between the folded edge and the raw edge, big enough to later thread the string through it. Now: first turn your fabric so the pattern side is up, then fold it lenghtwise in half (so the pattern faces the pattern). Stitch along the bottom and side, BUT not over the hole/tube/top thingy that you made earlier, where the string goes through. Turn your bag pattern side out, use a safety pin to thread a string or lace through the top, make a knot so it doesn't fall out and voila you're done. Search drawstring bag or gift bag on pinterest if you want more fancy ones.

[@JC-lw2wm]

I know people don’t like to give gift cards but I love the movies and people love to gift e-gift cards for the movies! I think because they know they are definitely gifting you a movie and not an item in a store. I get to see a lot of movies and bring my own snacks :)

[@lyzettemaguigad2828]

love those e-gift cards.

[@christinamariemoney]

So excited to be more low waste this year during Christmas! I’m trying to use all reusable packaging for my Christmas gifts 😊❤️

Sun theory co makes soy candles in cute second hand containers, if you trust yourself you could even try your hand at making your own in thrifted containers.

[@grimi1482]

an odd „gift card“ i really appreciate is for tattoos! if someone has mentioned they would love one from a specific artist, just stop by at the shop and ask , mine have given me a little card that the person receiving it can then use to make their appt (tattoo artists anyway take 50-100€ deposits here so it subtracts that from the total amount). as someone who wants to be covered in ink but is a broke student w a min wage side job, tattoos can get expensive and this way you’re also supporting a (local) artist

[@anahidkassabian4471]

Shel, those blankets are SO SO easy to make! If you can get the yarn, KZbin is full of vids of how to make them-it’ll take an afternoon. And a handmade gift is even better!

Great guide, thank you! Completely off the wall- I noticed in the jewelry closeup that you have such a beautiful lip shape! Wow! I’d love to see some natural/sustainable makeup videos from you. Big love, girl, you are such a bright light among the sea of social media.

[@Liza_s.o.l.e]

Growing up, every gift bag we got, we saved in a closet and reused it the next year. This year I am going to try my hand at wrapping gifts in those brown paper things that stuff shipping boxes.

[@awkward.anonymous]

I'd love to see an eco gift list of stuff with a lot of personality. I adore bright and bold colours, and generally I find a lot of sustainable companies limit themselves to neutral tones. Any places that produce more fun pieces would be great to know about!

[@tylervlogs1216]

I would say if you can’t afford to buy someone specifically what they asked for, get them a gift card (where ever is their fav store) with exactly how much money you can give. Then they can still use the gift card for something they really want.

[@imogenkemp6731]

loving everyone posting all of these eco friendly holiday videos!! some amazing companies in here! i love how these are brands that have things for people that aren’t sustainable or trying to be eco friendly. i really hope someone gets me a plant this year, i’ve just started my ‘plant mom’ life.

[@bmweisberger]

First off, wow! Thanks for the most amazing recommendation ever. I’m so glad you love the spice jars! And secondly, I appreciate how you stressed the idea of giving people what they ask for. This is my family’s struggle. They love giving gifts-and they love deals (and I don’t want or need anything). Now that I have kids, they just funnel that energy through them. They’ll buy polyester PJs because they can get 3 instead of the 1 nice cotton pair I asked for that will last through multiple kids... Listening to your loved ones is the best gift! Oh, and giving art is a great gift, too.

[@skauth4674]

This will be super helpful year round and I’m super stoked because the more I’ve watched your videos I either share them with others or people have liked the products so much that now they’re switching their shopping to these companies. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Happy to spread the word and your education!

this video is so helpful, thank you for making it! in addition to christmas, my birthday is also coming up, so i asked everyone to donate to a fund i had set up on rainforest alliance rather than gifting me actual items (of course everyone felt the need to buy me a small physical gift as well, but i blame that on societal standards). this is my first "holiday season" of being really eco conscious, and your channel has helped me so much! :)

[@ab7974]

So obviously goodwill isn’t the best, but it’s the best selection you can get in a second hand store in my town (besides Salvation Army which I will not step foot in and antique curated stores). I have noticed that in recent years they have a lot of new-in-package products that are marked up. Like so many, entire displays of home goods, clothing, decor that is new. It’s a very generic looking brand. Most of it looks very cheaply made but some was cute. I got a woven Christmas table runner last time. Where do these products come from? Is buying these things saving them from ending up in a landfill or increasing demand for them? Very perplexed. Also I just want to share my score: I got a couple plastic storage totes that were grubby and had permanent marker on them, saying “so-and-so’s clothes” or something, for like 1.99 each. Cleaned them and took the sharpie off with a magic eraser and they are good as new. Those things can be expensive new and you don’t often see them second hand!

[@ab7974]

Sabine de Vos I think it’s more likely a store donating surplus inventory because they consistently have a LOT of it. I just hope it isn’t goodwill trying to sell new items alongside donated... I don’t know if that’s something we could expect them to disclose or not. It’s probably better to look for used alternatives in either case I guess 🤷‍♀️

I love these lists--they save me so much research time! I would love to see a video on sustainable/cruelty free makeup companies/products!

Another Charitable product I love to gift is Charity pot from Lush. 100% of what you pay goes to grassroots organizations and there are really cute photos on the lid of the lotion. I think little ones are like $8 so they make great stocking stuffers... The container makes for great plant starters when its done!

[@samanthabeyer6216]

After watching a ton of your videos we actually made a plan for gifts this year. Which is that almost 100% of our list will be thrifted. Which so far has been AMAZING not only have we been able to fins so many unique things we know that most likely no one else bought them it. The only exception to our list (so far) is my grandparents. Which is an item thet need. - Instapot (cant find used) - Notebook from earth hero for homemade recipe book.

I love getting experiences gifted. I hate clutter and unnecessary things. It took me years to convince my family to buy me experiences. But they have finally come around and it is amazing :) I also make my entire family homemade fudge every year. My grandma has a special recipe and im the only one that she gave it to :) saves me lots of money and everyone loves it

[@angelinaphebus1525]

Thank you for the info! I LOVE the Stasher bag idea. You mentioned how important it can be to avoid substituting an item if someone asks for a specific thing. Sometimes if a person in my family wants something that is maybe out of our budget, we'll team up. Everyone will pitch in a few dollars. The person won't get as many small things, but they will get exactly what they want.

[@hl6994]

One of the things I love doing is knitting gifts for people, especially at Christmas, but all the cheapest yarn is acrylic- based. I would order some online but I worry about the waste of packaging and transportation. Do you have any eco-friendly options you would recommend?

[@cameronjames2479]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! You educate me every single time I watch your channel! This year I am on a mission to give all gifts inside of cloth shopping bags instead of using wrapping paper, ribbon and flimsy gift bags. I’ve actually found that the cost of cloth bags are about the same as those fancy bedazzled gift bags from Walmart! I encourage you all to look on Etsy to fine cloth bags to give gifts in this year and every year ✨🎁 they are something that people will use & can continue to use!

I really like how the sustainable glasses industry is getting bigger! My prescription glasses have frames made out of recycled plastic and the company I go to doesn't use packaging and is super affordable. They're probably the best glasses I've ever gotten tbh

I’ve been enjoying giving the gift of experiences. Digital vouchers to do activities so there’s no waste produced and the receiver gets to enjoy their gift without you feeling guilty for producing plastic.

[@kaylabeard3433]

I'm glad you mentioned at the end that if someone wants a specific gift from a specific company, you should respect that and not try to buy something similar the person might like. I always run into this struggle with my family members, Lulu lemon and Girlfriend both sell leggings but I want the ones that are ethically made that I will feel good wearing!

[@vernlearns5876]

Pantry meals is such a good tip and one that I would really like to focus on this year. I'm just at the beginning of my low waste journey, and one of the things I really want to focus on this year is my diet, eating healthier, and drastically cutting down on my animal consumption. But I'm such a picky eater with the taste buds of a child on vacation at grandmas who only wants to eat pizza and chicken tenders. I'm trying to try new things and cook things I don't really like in new ways to enjoy them more, but that means I need to whip out that bag of quinoa and lentils I have in my pantry instead of going to the tried and true rice :/ we'll get there eventually!

[@sarathurman4838]

If you have a Food City in your area could you do a zero waste shopping trip video there? I recently got a OK from my local Food City to bring my own containers to their deli, butcher, and bakery (yes, I eat meat). Previously I was having to travel nearly an hour one way to grocery shop every week which was making a low impact life difficult since I have small children. Thank you!

[@zoejames4519]

okay wait i'm obsessed with the idea of gneiss spice!? i love spices and also have started to buy the ones i love in bulk bc plastic spice jars are most likely too small to recycle? and also saves money and larger bulk spice containers if i don't refill them with spices i can still reuse for other food storage like rice or pasta or beans, etc.

[@lawaters95]

You talking about TenTree and their visibility reminded me of a website called GoodOnYou that looks into different brands to determine if they are actually sustainable and good to use or if they don't really disclose their production and are not making enough efforts to care for their impact on the world and their employees.

[@samanthaflatt6154]

This may be random but how about a sustainable plug in heating pad? I have endometriosis and need a heating pad that gets hot and that I also don’t have to worry about getting cold during really bad pain flares. Anyone know of such a thing?

I have a cloth heating pad that detaches from the cord so it can be washed, but I can't think of anything else

Does a regular hot water bottle cool down too quickly for you? Where I'm from we often use a bag of oats that can be microwaved for a few minutes and it stays warm for a bit, and it's all biodegradable and reusable. However it won't stay hot for hours if that is what you need. Might be a good tip for others with regular period pains or other muscle cramps though. Sorry you have to deal with endo, it sounds very sucky

[@samanthaflatt6154]

It’s hard for me to get up to re warm them during really bad days so I do need ones that plug in, but I don’t really want to buy from like Walmart. A better brand a company I guess.

I know this is a lot to ask but how about kids gifts? EVERYTHING is plastic for kids and they love to get something for Christmas rather than a gift card or something.

It makes your kids feel proud to have their artwork wrapping someone's gift (especially thier grandparents gifts). And it looks so cute.

I said no more toys. So now my dad and stepmom buy my kids, husband and I season passes to our local amusement park and water park.

Re: the House of Marley earbuds - how have they worked for you? I've found the reviews to be mixed and one big criticism I read was that the battery in the charging case can't be replaced after it starts dying, so you're left throwing them away once that battery fails. There are other wireless earbuds that have the same problem, but there are some that don't, and the reviewer felt that was a major omission for a product that focused so much energy on renewable materials.
