15 Sustainable Gifts for Her
1. Arguably the greatest puzzle in existence
A puzzle made up of her favorite feminist powerhouses? And it’s made of 90% post-consumer recycled materials? Truly iconic. Give her this, and they might as well just call you Ruth Bader Giftsburg. (Uncommon Goods, $22)
2. A backpack she can take everywhere
In my opinion, backpacks are the superior bag. Walking around with both my hands free—I always thought it couldn’t get much better. Until it did. I discovered Tiradia and fell in love with their backpacks. They’re sustainably made with cork (which btw is waterproof), and they’re incredibly cute. Trust me, the women in your life will love them as much as I do. (Tiradia, $125-$180)

3. A place to store her wine corks
Speaking of cork, lets talk about where she can store the kind that come out of her wine bottles. No need toss them in a drawer to “do something with later.” Instead it can become immediate decor. She just has to add it to this state-shaped wall-art. (Uncommon Goods, $35)
4. A pair of pants she’ll want to wear all the time
These 100% organic cotton thermal pants will envelop her in comfort whether she’s lounging on the couch or running errands. Plus they come in nine colors so you’re sure to find one that matches her personality. (Mate The Label, $138)
5. A moisturizer bundle to keep her skin smooth & supple
Treat her skin to a blend of moisture-rich formulas and barrier-strengthening ingredients. This nourishing duo instantly restores skin’s moisture levels and soothes the appearance of irritation so her skin can stay glowing even on the coldest and driest of days. (Cocokind, $47)
6. A workout set that’ll make her look forward to exercising
Because leg day is so much more enjoyable when you’re doing it in cute, consciously created gear. This set is made from recycled water bottles, and can be recycled itself at the end of it’s life. (Girlfriend Collective, $59 – $73)
7. Shoes she can wear all day
Catch her in the office, or at brunch in these versatile and effortlessly stylish mules from Nisolo. With certified B-Corp and Climate Neutral status, Nisolo aims to make ethical fashion a part of your everyday wardrobe. And I’d say they’re succeeding, because what do you look for in everyday wear? Comfort, function and style. With a waterproof upper, cushioned insoles, and four colors to choose from these shoes just that. (Nisolo, $160)
8. A relaxing DIY project
If she loves crafts and baths, look no further. This kit makes 16 mini bath bombs out of all natural ingredients. (Uncommon Goods, $25)
9. A bag that’s as convenient as it is fashionable
Made by skilled artisans in Tanzania and Kenya, Abby Alley bags are accessories you can feel good about carrying. Not only is this sling bag timeless and functional, but it’s also extremely versatile. She can wear it as pictured, or around her waist. If it becomes her new everyday bag, I wouldn’t be surprised. (Abby Alley, $215)
10. A pair of trusty sneakers
As an owner of these sneakers myself I can confidently say they’re a gem. The Wool Pipers are supremely comfortable and fashionable—a daily wear in my book. My white pair has been surprisingly easy to keep clean (even after being trampled on by muddy paws). Plus they’re made with sustainable materials—the cherry on top. (Allbirds, $98)
