No doubt, there is great joy when you finally find the ideal gift that you know the recipient will appreciate. But finding a gift that is thoughtful as well as eco-friendly creates the ultimate win-win situation. It’s like giving a gift to your buddy and the planet itself. Giving environmentally friendly presents, for holidays or even birthdays, is one way we follow a ‘zero waste’ lifestyle. This also involves making conscious choices regarding the brands we choose and how their products are sustainable. However, a lot of people face difficulty in their search for green gifts. Keeping this in mind, we have compiled a list of 10 fabulous eco-friendly gifts that you can order online in 2019.

Vegan Makeup
A small package of select but impressive options would be a joy for eco-friendly people who are interested in cosmetics and want to use ethical and sustainable products. Elate Cosmetics offers vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and fair-trade makeup range that come in sustainable wooden packaging.
Herb Garden Starter Kit
Perfect for people who have a green thumb, the organic Herb Garden Starter kit is sure to draw appreciation from the recipient. This do-it-yourself kit can be used as a balcony greenhouse, or a windowsill planter for growing 5 beautiful organic herbs in the kitchen.
Indoor Plant
The best way to promote the concept of green gifting is to give indoor plants as a gift. Plants provide air purification as they absorb the carbon dioxide and increase oxygen levels in their surroundings. This potted eucalyptus from Bloomr might just be the ideal one!

It is true that a quality timepiece makes for an ideal present. How about gifting a handcrafted wooden watch that follows the philosophy of ‘conscious living’? Made from finest recyclable materials, the Geese wooden watch from MAM Originals is our absolute favourite.
Solar Charger
Every eco-nerd is sure to fall in love with this portable solar charger from Anker that let’s you charge your devices on the go! Anyone who commutes with a backpack or tote bag can easily carry this around on outdoor trips.
Passes for an Eco Retreat
Go big! Let your friend or family reconnect with nature by sending them passes for an Eco Retreat in South Africa. The Greenpop Tree Planting Festival is a great option for those who believe in having fun while making a difference.
