Dec 01, 2023 Annie Cao

If your love language is gift giving, you’ve probably started holiday shopping for the perfect gifts to give to your loved ones. But as many of us know, holiday sales and promotions tend to encourage overconsumption, which isn’t sustainable for our planet.

Instead, picking out thoughtful presents and choosing earth-conscious items are good alternatives so you can still enjoy gift exchanges while having a smaller impact on the planet.

Here are 10 eco-friendly options to gift your friends and family this holiday season!
