As the holiday season approaches, many of us are thinking about what gifts to buy for our loved ones. But along with the joy and excitement of gift-giving comes the opportunity to make more sustainable choices that can help protect the environment and support responsible businesses. Supporting local and ethical businesses is the best way to make your holiday gift-giving more sustainable. Shopping for products made by companies like these, allows for the support of sustainable materials and practices. This not only helps to reduce the environmental impact of your purchases, but also supports the local economy.

Here are some ideas for sustainable holiday gifts that are sure to please:

H1: Intentional and Inclusive

In addition to being sustainable, holiday gift-giving can also be an opportunity to be intentional and inclusive in our choices. This means being mindful of the needs and preferences of the people on our gift list, and making sure that everyone feels included and valued.

Couplet Coffee was at the top of our list.

Queer woman owned and built for everyone, Couplet was created to make great coffee more fun and approachable.

By being intentional and inclusive in our holiday gift-giving, we can show our loved ones that we care about their individual needs and preferences, and create a sense of community and inclusion.

H2: Climate Driven

With the increasing awareness of climate change and its impacts, many people are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint and support sustainable practices. One way to do this is through climate-driven gift-giving, which involves choosing gifts that are made with sustainable materials and processes, and support environmentally-friendly businesses and organizations. Here are some of our favorites.

Freitag, one-off bags and accessories made from used truck tarps and fully compostable textiles.
