One thing I found interesting is you mentioned you hate things that take batteries and you like the rechargeable stuff. I'm the opposite because of "sustainable" and product lifespan reasons. Rechargeables degrade over time and once it's gone then you usually have to recycle the entire product as electronic waste. But if something has "regular" batteries I can use AA or AAA rechargeables in there for the entire life of the product and all I might need to replace over time is the rechargeables! Something to consider! Thanks for the gift ideas! Wick trimmers... Who knew hah!
Oooh I never realized that! Thanks for sharing this info! I'll definitely keep it in mind for future purchases. :) And haha wick trimmers are the best!! Thanks so much for watching!
How has it never dawned on me that I could be using my silicone zip bags for travel 🤯 that seems so obvious! Lol so thank you, just in time for me to pack for my upcoming flights 🤗
Finished the video, and you gave me some more ideas! If you can spend more on someone, a home compost bin would be a really nice gift. I also saw you using the reusable paper towels in one of the clips - I love mine! Ours is plain, but a few of those in a fun pattern would be nice to pair with any cleaning or kitchen products. Basically, any reusable staples... I love my Loop earplugs, and I have also gifted the travel hanky set from LastTissue. Any of the LastObject products are great if you know someone who regularly uses cotton rounds, cotton swabs, etc. Reusable cotton rounds (or equivalent) are also an easy DIY and available from a lot of small businesses if you look around. Lastly, another reusable gift (sustainability will vary) is a fountain pen! They do have plastic bits, but it's way less waste and more fun to refill a favorite pen than to keep buying cheap ones. Pair it with a journal using recycled paper (or alternative paper - stone paper is one I've meant to check out), and they'd make a cute set!
Those are all such great gift ideas!! Loop earplugs saved me at a concert I went to this summer! And I have a friend who loves her fountain pen! Thanks for sharing all of these gift ideas!! 😊
Do you think the hatch sunrise clock would be compatible with someone who works nights? I love the idea of it but not sure if it would just be a waste of money since they need to sleep during the day
that hatch is ridiculously expensive I could never afford that. do you have any good quality alternates? I just need the gradual sunlight waking option. I don't need white noise
Hey, friend! What eco & self-care gifts are on your list this year?? Hope you liked the video!! 😊

Ah you have to try them for travel! They're the best as little cosmetic bags! And of course!! :)
Rosemary, vanilla, and mint? Say no more. I have officially put the Plaine lotion on my list. That sounds divine!
Yayyy! It’s so good!! I hope you love it! 😊

Not sure exactly since I haven't tried any others, but I know there are a ton of options at different price points!
