Sometimes asking family members to donate to a cause/organization that you want to support instead of buying a physical gift has worked for me!
That is a wonderful idea!! 👍🏻❤️
The adults in my family have been doing this for years and it works really well since they’re supporting a good cause and don’t end up with gifts they won’t use.
I usually ask for money, that way I can decide what I want to get for a present.
let’s say goodbye to the haters holding us back from that sustainable cooking content! 👋
I agree 100 percent!!
As someone who has recovered from an eating disorder, what I eat in a day videos can be really difficult to watch because of comparing myself to others. Thank you for being one of the only sustainable channels that doesn't focus on food content.
I have added a sewing fabric marker to my bulk bags for the grocery store. So I can write the bulk number on the bag and it will wash out when I do laundry.
Awesome hack
that’s such a good idea!!
Fucking brilliant
Smart! I take pictures of the bins when I fill my bags :)
This year for Christmas I asked my family to buy me gift cards to local businesses that I love! That way you can choose sustainable businesses/products, receive a gift, and support local! 😊❤️
Love this!
Same! Or just food/teas that i normally buy. I am minimalist so this is perfect for me and them 🙂
I’ve asked the same from my family but they think that gift cards are “not a thoughtful gift” 🙃 i appreciate the thought but would genuinely love to receive a $20 card with a thoughtful note than a $50 gift that isn’t
That's good a👍 idea
I make a wishlist, even of something as simple as a specific towel. They are all with different price points (5€ to 100€) so everyone can pick something within their budget. And I am always very happy I don't have to go through the process of purchasing myself.
I find spending money (apart from grocecries) rather stressful.
For years and years, I’ve been afraid a snake will be in my toilet when I get up to pee at night. I was using my cell phone to peek in the toilet every time I got up to pee. My husband noticed and bought a toilet LED motion sensor light so the bowl lights up when I walk in. Best present ever!!! And just so thoughtful.
That's such a thoughtful gift! Is there a story behind the snake thing?
Australian?
I’m really glad to find another person who is a little paranoid about snakes in the toilet. So glad I’m not alone. And the LED light is a great idea!
I've started asking relatives for homemade treats. My family is huge into baking/making sweets, so I ask for them to make me a batch of whatever and include the recipie with it. I also request a reusable container, but that's hit or miss
Love how some veggies have been stacked like Christmas trees!
I love taking my reusable bags to the grocery store. I used to be embarrassed about taking them in, but then I realized I can fit $60 worth in 2 /3 bags, $100 worth in 4/5, and even $200 in maybe 6-8 bags!
I used to apologize to the cashier about it, but it turns out lots of cashiers here in N Texas all take their own. I also enjoy being able to pack my own bags and sort them into bags I want, and I use old plastic bags i keep at the bottom in case I need them for some reason.
Hey from another N Texas resident!
I personally just reuse my plastic bags instead of spending money I don't have on the "reusable bag trend". The reusable bags I do use are made from leggings and/or shirts (think scrap quilt if you will) that have gained too many holes to be proper clothing to wear outside of my bedroom.
@@lesliehyde oh nice! I use all of my old clothing for rags and projects. Most of my bags are collected for free over time like "goody bags" or event bags, from my place of work, and from friends or neighbors haha. Oh but my favorite is from this Mexican restaurant takeout order! I think I did buy 1 thing of small linen bags with a drawstring that I use for produce and some other th things that will be used for a long time. But once they're too worn I will look for an upcycled version from supplies I have on hand.
I am a resident of tx but am in Italy they change 10€ per bag I know they do something like that in Ca as well. If money is the motivation….
I haven’t tried this with family but my ex and I used to focus on experiences, classes, or hobbies instead of random items. I think this can help to focus on the non-material gifts or productive items. My mom is a hoarder and there was a year when we didn’t want to contribute to her things and we all contributed to a dishwasher for her. Anything that would upgrade a home is another idea.
I second this! pre-covid we would buy like a sushi-making class or a pasta-making class and it was always a hit. during the covid-times it's mostly plants and gardening things lol
Since buying a house, majority of my wish list ideas have been home improvement related. Currently saving gift cards for a new door 😁
I think my best recommendation for friends and family that refuse to not buy you stuff is to ask them to give you money for experiences. For example, one year I was planning a trip to a festival with my boyfriend and I asked my aunt to buy my ticket. Worked like a charm, I got no other gifts and she was super stoked to help me with that. 🙌🏼
This year I asked for experiences or something fun that we can do together I feel like people understand and appreciate that more.
The best way to convince them is to be the example. Especially in your own home. Don't wait for them to start being sustainable. Start by yourself and they will often follow your example.
Yes, please do more of these type of videos! Lots of good tips here. I’m glad I’m not the only one who got excited when bulk bins “re-opened” ✌🏽🌱
The best gift I have ever got was a dishwasher. At the time my husband and I had three kids of our own and were also taking care of one of my sister's two kids. So, we had a told of 7 people in our household. The dishwasher made life easier.
I got my parents to start recycling. Not by talking to them. Everytime I came over to help them (most of the time cook) I would gather the recycling and do it myself.
My siblings started to help me with this. Then out of the blue I see 4 diffrent recycling bins in the house. Sometimes small actions speak louder then words.
How I try to ask for gifts from a consumerist family: I've started including a "things we don't need" list alongside my wish list! That way my husband and I don't keep getting the things that clutter our house or go to waste: throw blankets, household items like tools and flashlights, superfluous kitchen utensils, items that aren't our style, and the like. My parents etc. love to make fun of my ~sustainability~ in a lighthearted way, which just means they know it's important to me now - and they accept that my gifts come wrapped in reused packing paper from online orders :)
I love seeing this style of video. Reminds me of the old grocery store challenges too!
And side note, I watch the Vlogs and think this is the calmest version of Cameron I have ever seen 😂 And I mean that in a good way. He seems like an awesome well rounded person.
I agree ✌️
What I say to my mum is "the greatest gift you can give me is honoring my values" and then I also give gift card links to zero waste stores or ask if we can go thrifting together. Or I ask for a replacement for something that's worn out.
On recycling gift bags - my grandma and mom saved them year to year and I learned once the gift was out of the bag, the bag went in to bag pile folded bag up for next time. My kids learned the same. We re-use the sting and cute labels from year to year. Once a bag gets ripped or unusable we try and use it for wrapping smaller gifts. I have some string and baubles from my grandmother, that are still used today…..😘
I get what you're saying about needing to fix our needs of plastic BUT we do need to fix/clean our oceans & beaches of the plastic that has already been tossed out.
Agree
For the how to convince your family that you don’t want anything, if they absolutely have to buy you something ask them to take you someone where as an experience or donate to a cause you’re passionate about in your name, I know you’ve talked about these on a Chanel before and I think it would be a really good idea to tell your family as gift ideas so they don’t buy you a physical product!
I'm a vegetarian and I instantly downloaded the app. It tells price, wheelchair accessibility, etc. It's perfect, thanks for the recommendation!
For years I have asked for paper bags at the grocery store and used them at the end of the year for Christmas wrapping. It's not zero waste but it's fun because I can decorate it myself.
Oh my goodness that sounds so fun. And so many options - watercolor would be unique!💛
Loved the casual nature of this video! Reminds me of your vlogs. Would love to see more videos like this where you answer questions as you go about your day 😊
How to get people to stop buying you gifts… HAVE KIDS. 😂 you are forgotten about!
But then you have to be so specific on what to get your kids so you don’t end up with a bunch of toys that are just going to break. I just tell people if they want to get my kids something I didn’t agree to it can stay at their house. I know what my kids want and need, why make it hard trying to find something!
I have had the opposite affect. 😭 grandparents that want to give their grandchildren everything. But having wish lists totally help. And "do not buy" lists.
Best gift I ever got was to use our family cabin in the woods, it’s off grid with a well and solar, only gets one radio station, and we got to go as a family shortly after husband returned from deployment #6. 12 days of family time, monopoly wars, twister, and campfires. Disconnected from everyone and everything that steals so much family time. I loved it!
You're fantastic! Thank you for putting yourself out there for us. I appreciate your content and find it valuable.
Last year my husband watched some of your videos to figure out some gifts for me! :)
I'd love the Pela composter, but it's way out of my price range. However, a local zero waste store near me has a program that takes buckets of compostable foods for their community gardens. It has a fee, but you're supporting a non-profit zero waste store that provided free produce for the community with the gardens ❤️
I think that's a better option honestly ❤
You can always ask for something you can consume, like fancy tea, or coffee, that’s also ethical!
Ok yes one year I told my friends and family that I didnt want anything and I ended up with a ton of stuff I wasn't gonna use, because of course they wanted to get me something. Then I tried listing some general item themes but not specifics, so I again ended up with some stuff that I wasn't going to use. Finally, this year I decided to send **links** so that I know they know to get the exact item I'm going to use. I also put some links to stuff like my shampoo bars which I need anyway!
Just a follow up question with the Mr Beast team seas thing, do you wish that they would have included more eco youtubers such as yourself so that they could have a more informed input on improving their sustainability? I think its great thay massive youtubers such as pewdiepie, doctoe mike etx are included but i do wish they would have included people like you
I love the fact you could see cauliflower and broccoli unpackaged, I've yet to find a store in Florida that was completely plastic free. Even the farmers market they using plastic/Saran wrap.
Years ago now, I was working on reducing plastic bags over my produce and meat. With perishables like meat, if the container leaks out then then germs can seep in; i started using more plastic meat bags because the meat packaging got worse and worse despite my efforts to reduce plastic. One of my favorite cashiers however, cautioned me against reducing my plastic bags for produce. They are given watered down window cleaner for cleaning thier belts and often aren't given the time to wipe after each bit of dripping meat juice, the powdery residue on the outside of garden chemicals, or even the flour which comes outmof/ off of the bags then gathers what ever else comes down the belt. As a result, I use the plastic bags for my produce then try to give them a second use.
Definitely enjoyed the video. I loved having Cameron as a guest, he's funny and a great alternate perspective. One of the things I asked for and got this year was the electric lighter you mentioned in one of your videos. I love it and am excited to not have to buy disposable lighters anymore. I also bought a misto and it's a great thing to have. I don't feel bad buying a bottle that I won't reuse from that anymore.
Also central market's produce looked AMAZING! wish we had one of those here in Reno.
With your gift wrapping process you're basically doing a version of a Japanese furoshiki! Love it! Got mine from my grandma and I also use it as a scarf or like a twilly on my bags :) Also, looking forward to your Lomi review, because I'm on the fence for buying one!
My brother is a super thoughtful gift giver and always wraps my gifts in second hand fabric because I sew, it is like a little bonus gift!
Love this style video! I am also glad to hear Central Market's bulk bins have reopened!!!
Your best present ever is so sweet and personal, too.
One of my favorite gifts has to be the red and green table cloth my mom gave me that used to be my grandmother's. Her name was Betty and she used it only one time a year for Christmas. We are continuing the tradition and, though we do not have any yet, I hope my grandchildren someday remember me with something so simple and sweet, too. 😊
I wish you and Madison a joyous holiday season.
A gift wrapping tip is to get gift boxes & wrap those. Place the gift inside instead of individually wrapping each item. That way the paper isn't getting torn off & thrown away. You can reuse shipping boxes for this too
About the gift thing - consumables. Shampoo bar, nice olive oil, gift card on or subscription of local organic vegetables, whatever. Something nice that you maybe don’t normally splurge on but will have to buy eventually
I worked at Central Market in Austin during college and I was so impressed by how little packaging they use in the produce and bulk sections, way before I adopted a zero waste/sustainable mindset. I also appreciate the option to put bulk items in paper if you didn't have your own bag, so you don't have to opt for plastic (at least at the N Lamar one). I've thought about reaching back out to them and discussing overall store sustainability initiatives!
This is what a real queen should be like!! You're literally amazing.
Really liked the vid, very casual easy breezy 🤪
About "changing people", that's not feasible, you can't force them to do something, the best you can do is being a living testimony of your own values, and that ACTUALLY works instead of trying to convert people 🤷🏻♀️
It was nice seeing more of Cameron. Seems like a good dude.
Money is the best convincing argument for people. I don't even say I'm trying to be sustainable anymore because people don't care. Like for wrapping presents, the other day I told a person who was talking about how pricey and time consuming wrapping presents was, and I was like "I just find cute scarves, table cloths, and napkins at the thrift store and wrap all my presents in them and either give that as part of the gift or reuse it next year if they don't want it." And she thought it was the most revolutionary idea ever and was telling other people about it. It's the easiest thing haha.
Hi! There has been so much negativity in 2021 and I was thinking it would be nice if you made a video highlighting the positive environmental things that happened. I think it would give a little hope for 2022 haha
Love this type of video! All the fun Cameron wisdom was a plus 😊
I really love the healthy balance in you Shelby. Your very right there is not enough balance people are all in it all out and it is discouraging for a lot of us. If it wasn’t for people like you on the internet reminding us that every effort counts I think it would be even worse. Because the enthusiasts are great at discouraging us all together when we are trying the best we can.
1 your jeans look SO GOOD on you!
2 if i didn't want my family to buy me stuff, i would ask for food or baking goods or snacks, something like that. or an experience
3 i save all of the paper that comes in packages when i order online and i wrap my gifts in that. also painters tape is really good instead of regular plastic tape, cause it holds it together but doesn't stick completely and wont ruin the paper = you can use it again!
4 my best present was a cast iron pan i got from my grandma when i moved to my first apartment seven years ago. it hasn't damaged a bit and i use it almost every day when cooking!!
You should do these more often! It was so much fun to watch! Plus you were so chill! I love that! I and just getting caught up with your videos but I have watched every single one before this one lol. I usually watch your personal vlog first cause they’re so much fun but I still love your channel as much and I always learn new things! Your videos are super educational and informative and it makes me feel like trying my best or the environment is a good thing!
The Christmas wishlist has definitely helped with my family over buying things that I don’t need or use. I’ve encouraged everyone in my family to make a wishlist and we each buy one thing for them off their list. It has helped!
I love the idea of using cloth for wrapping presents! I might start doing that.
Love the chill q&a style of this video!
Happy holidays Shelbi. Just want to know that I appreciate you so much. You’re awesome.
I love you. And I love how you're taking care of yourself by not sharing what you're not ready to share. Totally understand and I think everyone can relate to that.
About 7 years ago my dad sent my a real baby Christmas tree for Christmas. (We didn’t live near each other) Unfortunately I wasn’t able to keep it alive and he has passed since then. I think about how awesome it would be to still have that tree to remember him by. My husband this year sent me a real baby Christmas with a card from my Dad 😭💚 BEST GIFT EVER!
definitely LOVE this style of video for you!~~ please do more!
This was such a fun video! And love, love you gift wrapping ideas! Thanks! ❤️
As a Texan who relocated to Chicago--your HEB footage almost made me cry. I shop at Aldi here in Chicago and don't get me wrong, Aldi is actually pretty great. But it's not HEB.
Also we all do lists in my family, we use Google Docs and link to everything we want. My grandma is the only one who goes off list and we've just accepted that she won't get on board.
We need more Cameron. He’s a great hype guy
Love these casual q&a, where we join you along your day! 👍🏻😊
I love the way you responded to the question about the ice rink's energy practices!!! 🥰 !! I just stumbled upon your channel today, and I love your vids.. your personality, the casual authentic way you speak to your audience, the way you don't pretend to be perfect or expect your audience to be perfect... 👍🤗💜 You got yourself a new subscriber. Thanks for your great vids!
So one of my suggestions for gifts for people who don’t want gifts is to make a list of organizations you would like to have a donation in your name. And for those who simply have to get you a physical thing, places like myfahlo are good. You get a bracelet for your donation to track an endangered animal. Also, just make it super easy for them and provide weblinks to everything.
I loved this video and love when Cameron is in the vlogs so it was fun seeing him in this video lol!
Love all of your content! Thank you for all that you do!
A way to get them to stop buying you stuff when they do like what you mom did is to just say, "Okay, Be sure to keep the receipt so I can return it."
Looooved seeing the GF collective bag for bulk shopping!! I love their stuff because of you shelbi! Much love hope you had a great Christmas and new year! 💜
Loved your video today! Watching it on my lunch break at work!
-would love to see your thoughts/tips on personal finance like how you budget, money goals, etc.
Also I wrapped my Xmas gifts in newspaper this year! Newspapers in my neighborhood almost never get picked up and just lay outside so that was my eco-friendly wrapping this year!
One of my favorate gifts would be my sewing machine 😁 love it use it all the time.
I moved away from Texas ~20 years ago and Central Market is EASILY in my top ten things I miss. Absolutely the greatest grocery store.
I always say I’m a in the middle kind of person. That’s probably why I love your content so much!
I. LOVED. This vlog!! My favorite in a while and my favorite video of yours in a while! The Cameron wisdom bits were 🤌🏻
Thank you for making enjoyable videos about sustainble living!
I absolutely loved this video so please do more! This year I'm giving my family their gifts in reusable totes from baggu that they can keep in hopes they use it instead of plastic bags or regift them. I also tried my best to get gifts sustainably, vegan, fairtrade, and/or from a small business.
Thank you! I have been super interested in this!
Omg, that grocery store is next level! So much non-packaged and bulk. Wow!
Thanks for the content!
Been watching you for a couple years now and I just want to say I really enjoy your videos they have taught me a lot of things new in my life so thank you for that and my gift to you is have yourself a merry Christmas and a Great New Year’s ☮️❤️🎄
Omg, that grocery! Amazing.
I love that you answer the Q&A's throughout the video instead of all at once! It makes my adhd brain be able to stay focused on what your saying 🥰
These are my favorite videos 😍
By the way - I love watching you! You give me so many ideas that I can incorporate into my life that I hadn’t been able to find a swaps for- like the tape issue- I don’t know why I didn’t think of Kraft tape! Thank you a million times over 💜 and your right- doing the best we can is better than not doing anything at all- we should all do at least a few things to help our planet out- but being perfect is just not possible and we should also enjoy life 💜🙏
Love this video!!
i am beginning my sustainable lifestyle! also shelbi i absolutely love youuuuuu! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was such a nice video to start my day with :)
Thanks for the video!
Australia has zero plastic bags in our big retail stores a small win but it's pretty awesome. Love the tips section part of this video! Fabric gift wraps are super cool!
You are amazing. Thanks for sharing your life.
Yay! First of all, you're super pretty and I'm so happy I found a sustainable TH-camr who's such a vibe! Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos❤
In 2020 I started using reusable gift wrap, I actually got a bunch of knot wraps from Lush, and I also got different sized canvas bags and had my kids initals or names placed onto them so them it took away the need for gift tags for the gifts packaged into those. Then we also made reusuable gift tags for anyone that we purchase for each year. I have not really ventured into using reusbale gift wrap for anyone not close family/friends, but I think that I will steal your idea about going to the thrift store and purchasing some hand towels so like you said, if they like it they can keep it, or I will take it back! Also clean up of Christmas morning is a breeze now!
I think the wrapping is a significant part of the gift
I ordered a Lomi and I can’t wait to hear your perspective on it!
I agree with your perspective on plastic clean ups, humans need to prevent plastic pollution in the first place. Also, watching you eat healthy encourages me to eat healthy as well 🌻
I really liked the chill vibe of this video
I moved to Ohio last year and there are NO WORDS to describe how much I miss Central Market. August without Hatch Chile week is the pits. I miss it soooo much
I desperately need an awesome shop like this in Austria! 😍
Thanks for posting your truth. And Cameron seems like such an amazing friend. :) Recently seen your video, and just really love your attitude and aesthetic!
I have never seen a grocery store like the one that you showed. I live in Kansas, and being being so close to the farms it makes way more sense not to have everything in massive amounts of packaging, but it is anyway.
Best gifts (not Christmas, but for my birthday) I've received were both experiences. When I was a teenager, my mom and aunt got me tickets to go see Whitney Houston in concert (The Bodyguard time period) which I was SO excited about and loved. And my husband when we were dating gifted me a playdate with a family friend's pet dachshund. I love dachshunds and it totally made my day even though the dog was not into hanging out with me cuz it was wondering where his mom was, haha.
I always tell people that i hate cards, i think it can be guilty clutter and a waste of trees. This year my mother in law bought me luffa seeds inside of a card for my birthday.... I cried i was so happy. I'm finding the more i voice my opinions, the more they listen and they here me 😁 thanks for helping me find new ideas to live as waste free and eco friendly as i can!
