8 Practical Eco Gifts That Will Be Appreciated (and used!)

*Affiliate Links

When it comes to gift giving, most of us aim to pick something that will be practical and appreciated, but it can be really tricky to choose that perfect item, as well as something that they don’t already have. So, what’s out there that could tick all the boxes? How about these 8 practical eco gifts?

SURI Holiday Gift Box Set

The brand new SURI holiday gift box set is not only a very practical and handy gift, but it is also really beautifully put together. The gift box contains the SURI sustainable electric toothbrush in your choice of colour (5 to choose from). This comes with a recyclable and plant based brush head, magnetic mirror mount, charger and the travel case that also cleans the brush using UV light. You can also select a wash bag in 1 of 3 colours, and their new restore toothpaste plus toothpaste key are also both included. This set is a gift that I think anybody would appreciate – useful, pretty, thoughtful and sustainable.

Biodegradable Phone Case

Phone cases are super practical, as we all know, but let’s face it, they can be pretty boring. Thankfully, there are now lots of eco-friendly options made using a blend of plant-based biopolymers and starch with a bamboo particle texture finish, and ones with absolutely stunning designs like this biodegradable case from Acaso over on Etsy.

Overherd Powdered Oat Milk

For those who avoid dairy or who want to cut back on it, oat milk is a great alternative. However, ordinary oat milk comes with a short lifespan and it isn’t exactly travel-friendly – that’s where Overherd powdered oat milk comes in. It is UK made using sustainably sourced ingredients, vegan and gluten-free, it has a long shelf life and it can be easily carried with you in their travel tin. A subscription to this product would be such a practical and welcomed gift for somebody. Use EMMA15 to get 15% off your order.

Natural Christmas Beauty Hamper

Packed full of handy and also gorgeous goodies, this vegan spa kit includes a range products that anybody would love to receive. It includes dry shampoo, a soap slice, lip balm (in a paper tube), deodorant balm (paper tube), clay face mask and a sisal soap saver bag.

Mighty Mouthcare Refillable Toothpaste

Mighty Mouthcare is the first of its kind – a sustainable and refillable toothpaste. This is a brand new product and one that I was really excited to try and I can confirm that it really does work well AND reduces waste. They do have a subscription service which has proven to be brilliant – I haven’t once run out – and it is cost-effective. This may a bit of an unconventional gift, but for that person who wants to make a difference or who are very eco-conscious, it could be a great choice. You can shop their range here and get 20% off a starter kit with my code ECOEMMA20.

Bamboo Travel Cups, Bottles and Flasks

For those who are always on the go, who love a hike or picnic or who travel for work, having decent bottles, cups and flasks is a must. These bamboo products over on Etsy not only look really good but they also work well too. I have a cup similar to these and I am always taking it out with me. They are so robust and being environmentally friendly is a huge bonus.

Who Gives a Crap Recycled Toilet Roll Subscription

Who Gives a Crap is a UK based toilet roll company who are passionate about sustainability. Not only have they created products that are environmentally friendly but they also give 50% of their profits to help build toilets and improve sanitation in the developing world. We’ve used their recycled toilet roll subscription for years now and not only do their rolls last ages but they also look fab with their brightly coloured packaging. They do also offer bamboo toilet rolls, recycled kitchen roll and tissues. You can get £5 off your first subscription order over on their website here.

Pranamat ECO Acupressure Mat

The Pranamat ECO is a beautifully crafted acupressure mat designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation and ease muscle tension. It features hundreds of lotus-shaped massage points that work to stimulate pressure points across the body, mimicking the benefits of acupuncture but without the use of needles. This is a product that I have used now for around 4/5 years and has worked wonders for numerous aches and pains, including neck and shoulder problems, plus it has helped to ease my migraines. There are a variety of mats and collections to choose from and would make a wonderful, practical gift for anybody.

These practical eco gifts would be perfect for a wide range of people for Christmas or birthdays and the great thing is, all are kind to the planet.
