Sustainable Christmas Gift Ideas

 

Hello silly season, events and special occasions! Christmas is often an opportunity to take a break from routine and work but it’s not an excuse to take a break from living sustainably. From plastic wrapping and ribbons to plastic toys, traditional Christmas gifts are known to contribute significantly to landfill. Our mission at Ekoroo is to help people share their sustainable way of life this Christmas by gifting everyday eco friendlyproducts. 

 




When it comes to the most wonderful time of the year, we have a wide range of personal, practical and beautiful gift ideas we know your mum, dad, partner or colleague at work will love. They’re consciously designed using environmentally friendly materials, meaning you can gift something awesome while playing your part for the earth. Here are a few of our favourite products. 

 

 

GIVE THE GIFT OF (CONSCIOUS) SELF-CARE

Unlike baby wipes or other one time use pads, our reusablemakeup pads can be used, washed and used again – for month after month! Reusable makeup pads are an essential when getting ready for an end of year party or family Christmas gathering so whoever you’re gifting these nifty pads to, will love you endlessly for it. Reusable makeup pads are a great gift for any teenager navigating their way through a sustainable life. 

 

Our bamboo hair brush glides through hair effortlessly and has a beautiful bamboo handle which looks magnificent sitting on the bathroom vanity. In organic and natural tones, it’s a functional yet stylish gift you can guarantee won’t get regifted in the staff Secret Santa next year. We love our bamboo brush, and we think your MIL, daughter or sister will love it too! 

 

 If you’re on a budget, the Ekoroo bamboo toothbrush is the perfect present. At just $8 a pop, our bamboo toothbrush is a no brainer. After all, everyone needs to clean their teeth. Whether you gift it as a Secret Santa present or keep it as a stocking filler, receiving a bamboo toothbrush as a gift is both practical and a nod to living a more conscious way of life. And in a rainbow of colours, the person who receives this gift will love the pop of cheerful colour it adds to the bathroom. 

 

 

GET CREATIVE (AND SUSTAINABLE) IN THE KITCHEN THIS CHRISTMAS

Coco bowls are perfect for Christmas as they’re a bright and colorful reusable crockery item hard not to love! In sets of two, our coco bowls have been handcrafted in burnt orange, turquoise or bright pink. They can be easily used as individual serving plates or for popping some chips and dips inside. In other words, perfect for the socialite in your life.  

 

Keep the Christmas ham and leftover trifle fresh in our practical yet uber stylish food covers. They come in clear or coloured silicone and they’re a great way of saying no to cling wrap or foil and g’day to a more sustainable life. Ekoroo food covers fit perfectly over containers, tins and bowls, making the storing of leftovers that little bit easier. They’re the ideal gift for lovers of cooking, your parents… or anyone looking to make a positive change in the world. 

 

 The produce bags available online at Ekoroo comes with three different sized bags which are lightweight yet sturdy thanks to a double net design. They’re great for shopping but are totally multipurpose. Your friend will adore using them at the farmers’ market, throwing in a beach towel for a Christmas day swim or using it as a carry bag when doing their own Christmas shopping. However your Sunday market loving friend decides to use these clever produce bags, they’ll do it while helping to save the planet.

 

 CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR FRIENDS ON THE GO 

Our collapsible straw is perfect for sipping Christmas eggnog or a fresh juice on Christmas morning! Cute and compact, it is the perfect sustainable Christmas gift for your best friend to use on the go. It keeps safe in a case that doubles up as a keyring and in Rose Gold or Black, it’s also super stylish. The Ekoroo collapsible straw is ideal for your bestie who never seems to stop moving. 

 

 The Ekoroo collapsible coffee cup takes the reusable coffee cup to a whole new level. Ideal for iced lattes during the Christmas holidays or smoothies on hot days, it’s lightweight and shatterproof. If your Dad is charged by caffeine and loves the idea of switching to a more conscious way of living, the collapsible cup is the perfect gift for him. 

 

 Another great gift for those who live life on the go, the Ekoroo cutlery set has a fork, spoon, knife and chopsticks made from quality bamboo. An organic cotton carry pouch means you can also forget the need for gift wrap. Instead, get creative and use some natural twine or jute to tie a bow around it before popping it under the Christmas tree. We love our cutlery set for anyone in the family who enjoys eating outside and the great outdoors. 

 

 SUSTAINABLE GIFT BUNDLES PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS 

Our range of reusable products at Ekoroo allow you to relish in the excitement of Christmas without impacting the environment. If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to choosing the perfect reusable gift, why not select a few and gift a bundle?

 

 A personal care gift set is ideal for your friend or sister who needs a little sustainable self-love. Your Mum and Dad will love a home gift set, complete with reusable kitchen items. And your friend who lives an active lifestyle will love an on the go gift set! No matter who you’re gifting to, Ekoroo has the perfect gift bundle this Christmas. 

 

 We believe that giving should be about gratitude and it shouldn’t cost the earth. Our range of eco friendly gifts online at Ekoroo are lovingly made with reusable and environmentally friendly materials. By purchasing sustainable gifts, you’re minimising the negative impact on the environment. And we think that’s the best gift of all this Christmas.
