Best type of merchandise is that kind of merch. Well done! I won’t buy because I just don’t need (already have a case) but I just love the thought put into this.
The most sustainable gift is something that they WANT. Even the most eco-friendly gift, if unwanted, can end up in the trash. So ask what they actually want.
I’ve been saving money all year and I’m super proud of myself because I was able to buy my mom a dishwasher! She really needs one since she has started to get pain when she stands to handwash dishes. I got her an energy efficient one, and some eco friendly detergent tablets to go with it. I ordered it for mid-December but I haven’t told her yet, I’m gonna wrap the detergent and give it to her this weekend as a way to tell her 😂 It feels amazing to be able to give gifts that the other person really needs, like giving chocolates or a gift card is nice and all but when you know it’s something they really need it means so much more.
For some reason I’m so happy reading this! I don’t know, might be because Christmas has become this day where people buy other people meaningless and trashy impersonal stuff, just to “gift” one another, and your gift seems so thought through, loving, caring and worked for. Wishing you and your mother all the best, stay safe 😊
It can be so overwhelming sometimes to do some research on quality companies that aren't just greenwashing, so thank you so much for doing some of that work for me/us! These types of videos help me be a better sustainable activist in my own channel too. This was so helpful! Thanks again! 💚🌎💙
Hey! Could you make a video explaining what certifications we should look for while shopping as well as the how certifications are regulated? also great video btw
i am honestly not the most sustainable person but i try my best to educate myself and try stuff out (oh and i love buying second hand or thrifting). i always gift people useful items or edibles, and nowadays because of covid i sent out packages to people (only my mom and sister) and i love to reuse boxes and packaging :)
Great gifts ideas, ever since I started being more aware of the consequences of consumerism I completely change my perspective on Christmas gifts and I will rather prefer to give or receive something like this. Also, giving it receiving experiences like a trip a vacation or a fun and unique activity with the people you love is a great option.
I live in the middle east where bidet hoses are in every bathroom. And I agree--once you get used to being THAT clean, it's reeeeaally hard to go without it! 😂
@@ah5721 I think a lot of people drip/air dry. They wear long dresses anyway (both men and women). I pat with a little tp. And now I'm realizing how awkward it is to talk about bathroom habits. 😅🙈
Congratulations on your merch! Its beautiful and if I needed a phone case I would be all over it but YOU taught me a better way. Thank you for always being you and fighting for our planet.
Hey Shelbi! So my (very cheap and bad quality) earphones gave up last week, so your video came in just the perfect time, because you reminded me of House of Marley. I thought they will be a super expensive company (as usually sustainable brands are...), but I was surprised to see that they have very reasonable prices. And the earphones I had my eyes on even had a discount this Black Friday, so I am very very happy now. I love them and I also feel amazing that I did something good for the planet. Thank you for the video! :)
Hi ! About the bidet : I'm half iranian and my iranian family has always used watering cans after going to the toilets, wayyyyy easier to implement than the bidet and you use it the same way ! Something to think about :) (I feel like any asian and african family knows this trick but it looks like we're the only ones...)
Probably a super silly question but how do you dry? Do you air dry or use a towel then? Edit: I used a water bottle after childbirth and can't believe I haven't thought about using it after I healed! Duh!
@@silverlining7112 at first I air dried but my gynecologist told me that thats probably why I get infections so dont recommend. Now I have two little towels (one for the peepee spot, one for the poopoo spot) and I pat myself dry with them :) It's not a silly question to me !
Love this gift guide!! Video released 26 minutes ago, went to Earth Hero, sold out 😢 Happy it did so well, can't wait for the next release of the phone cases!
That red is POPPIN on you girl! Also I want your phone case SOOOO much! But I'm team Droid. Please try to make 1 for some Samsung droids. I love your gifts guides & holiday & family tips/hacks & playing "I spy Tippy!" The squeeal for your phone case! 💙💙🤣🤣
Thank you for including a women’s AND men’s sustainable clothing option! Inclusivity matters. I love your videos SO. FREAKING. MUCH. You are a pioneer in the world of sustainable information found on this platform. The lives you and Madison have touched are left changed, forever. Thank you, Shelbi, thank you.
If this video would double for Europe reliable sustainable sites/shops (like Earthero or Made Trade), would be absolutely awesomeeee. Thank you for the tips ! 🥰❤️🌸💝✨
Agree with you to support small and substainable shops. Shelbizleee, I just love 💘 you. BTW, red is gorgeous on you and I love how you end your video with your quote.
Always love the gift guides, I like one of your phone cases but I have a cheap off brand phone. the phone cases look amazing, and you should be so pumped about them hope they do well.
OMG I am so freaking excited for your phone case partnership!!!!!!!! I want one soooo bad ahh! I have been wanting a Pela case for a long time now but I just haven't gotten one yet because my current one still works. But I want your special edition one. I can switch between the two. I can wash one and use the other and switch off every so often. I know it's not good to have merch products like the shirts and stuff but Pela is definitely an exception. Also, it's in use all day long and everywhere you go. It's a great conversation starter if someone were to see it. I can't wait to get it! Yay Shelbi!!
The Pela cases are amazing! I have two. They had a buy one get one so I got the sea turtle and the mandala. They hold up so well against my clumsiness. I can't tell you how often I drop my damn phone, and I 100% expected my phone to crack because the cases don't feel as solid as an otterbox but it is. It's so freaking sturdy.
Amazing AMAZING gift guide. Thank you!! A big barrier to sustainable gift giving is the thorough research necessary to find brands that uphold eco-friendly practices, plus finding the item your receiver would want/appreciate. This was a lot of the leg work and I really appreciate it. Happy Thanks Giving
Super helpful, love the gift ideas! I love when you talk about different brands because it gives me a place to look when I cannot find what I need when thrifting!
I watched your old holiday gift ideas yesterday and couldn't wait to watch this year's. Also, I got a tushy thanks to you! I love it! Thank you so much for the review and the discount code. Thank you for your videos, I love watching them, and to think, I only started watching you because I was watching plant tour videos and yours was recommended! 😆
Oh my gosh I love the Pela phone case ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can you please please make them available for Pixel phones as well? Walking around with your logo on my phone would bring me so much joy 🙌
Hi Shelby happy holidays! I just want to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart you have made a very big difference in my life over the past couple years I was struggling to find products because my skin is so sensitive to chemicals and so many of the different additives so because of you I’ve been using native and I love them to bits even got my daughter using them now and I also love shopping on earth hero I have so many great things so thank you again stay well be safe.
Thank you so much for this video Shelbi! I love how your videos are always so informative but fun to watch at the same time! Also, congratulations on your Pela case! I won't be able to purchase it since I don't live in the U.S. but hopefully, I can get my hands on it in the future! YOU ARE AWESOME :)
Congratulations Shelbi on your Pela phone case! I will have it on my list for when it comes time to buy a new phone and protective case. Also, Alter Eco chocolates are amazing! I tried them out because of your suggestion. 😁 Thank you!
Congrats on your first merch!!! I saw the quote on your IG story and was wondering if you were going to make stickers or something hahaha. I wish Pela made cases for my phone! :( Android user here, no, not a Samsung Galaxy lol.
I also come from a family of hyper consumers (and so does my spouse). Luckily, this year I'm pregnant and the baby is due right before Christmas. We're only getting things we need and nobody is complaining about it because baby and it's the best Christmas ever. And a lot of baby products are reusable, so we can donate them when we're done.
My modified poem for eco-conscious gifting (or what I tell my family to get me)! Something they want Or something they need Something to grow Something to read Something consumable Something to do A gift from the heart Or secondhand too.
Super excited about your phone case! Not available for my phone (Samsung) but love the concept and will check out the other items available on EarthHero
I adore you!!! Also, shame on me for sleeping during the day cuz your pela case is on waitlist in EVERY SIZE AND COLOR!! I can’t believe I missed out. 😩😩 I think it’s safe to say it is a success. ❤️❤️❤️ Congrats and Happy Thanksgiving!
Life has been so busy with the baby and Im trying to catch up with your videos as I can AND OMG! This is the perfect excuse I needed to get my hands on another pela case!!! I just bought it! It is so gorgeous! Plus I love your phrase! Its always a motivation to do my best when I can.
Me and my friends are all thrifting gifts this year which makes me soo happy and gave each other a kinda wish list type thing for what we want thrifted
If you're looking for a gift to someone who wears boxers, you should definitely check out The Other Danish Guy! They use discarded fishing nets to produce their products and they're made in the EU :)
The minute you announced the phone case I paused and went to earth hero to check it out. SO EXCITING! It’s not offered for my phone and I have a current Pela case but you best believe when I get a new phone I know which case I’m buying! Love love love it. I hope it does so well!
I know I'm late to the party, but thanks for the holdiay shopping guide! I love your videos and all the content you provide. The phone case looks fantastic and I hope you can keep selling them in the future. Happy holidays!!
It's fall till December 21st!! I worked hard to think of sustainable gifts for my mom. I got holiday jam and a soup mix from a local shop. Then I thought of all the things I want her to try and decided to buy her dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent sheets, and beeswax wraps from earth hero.
For people watching in England Oxfam has a really good Christmas section and if you go to the website they have a page for things that aren’t secondhand but they’re all sustainable made and there is something there for everyone😊🌱
i recommend a wishlist in general. I made a google docs years ago so i can link as well. Most of my family and friends do so now as well and i know they will actually get me something i will use
A Shelbizleee video first thing this morning?! You sure its not already Christmas?! :) & I am in love with the Pela case, I will definitely be ordering one!
I’m doing a $100 giveaway for 3 people on IG right now! Make sure to follow and enter if ya want! 🤗 instagram.com/shelbizleee/
i would but i’m not allowed to have insta....
Heu can you look into public goods they claim to be zero waste but idk how if the packaging is plastic
Awe, it’s too bad I don’t do social media anymore 🤷🏽♀️
What size zip up/hoodie did you get at ten tree and pangia? I think im the same size as you and wondering if they're comfy enough.
Best type of merchandise is that kind of merch. Well done! I won’t buy because I just don’t need (already have a case) but I just love the thought put into this.

This is what I do with my family
To true!
Sure but this is also a gift GUIDE.
I have a friend who gets offended if you have to ask them what they want 💀
This shade of red looks so pretty on you, and the outfit itself is fitting for a Texas Christmas lol
Yes, you look gorgeous, Shelby!
I’ve been saving money all year and I’m super proud of myself because I was able to buy my mom a dishwasher! She really needs one since she has started to get pain when she stands to handwash dishes.

Awww that’s so thoughtful of you, it really shows how much you care
Getting your parents a new mattress and linens is such a lovely and thoughtful gift
It can be so overwhelming sometimes to do some research on quality companies that aren't just greenwashing, so thank you so much for doing some of that work for me/us! These types of videos help me be a better sustainable activist in my own channel too. This was so helpful! Thanks again! 💚🌎💙
Hey! Could you make a video explaining what certifications we should look for while shopping as well as the how certifications are regulated? also great video btw
This!
Working on this 🤗
Yes!!
My neighbour keeps nagging about the pumpkin in front of my door... just go away Karen its autumn until I say otherwise (her name actually is Karen)
i am honestly not the most sustainable person but i try my best to educate myself and try stuff out (oh and i love buying second hand or thrifting). i always gift people useful items or edibles, and nowadays because of covid i sent out packages to people (only my mom and sister) and i love to reuse boxes and packaging :)
Great gifts ideas, ever since I started being more aware of the consequences of consumerism I completely change my perspective on Christmas gifts and I will rather prefer to give or receive something like this.

That Instagram wish list idea is the best!!! I’ve gotten many gifts I didn’t need or want and kept to not hurt anyone’s feelings.
no joke... i made something between a gasp and a scream when you announced the phone case! it's so you!
Hey Shelbi!
So my (very cheap and bad quality) earphones gave up last week, so your video came in just the perfect time, because you reminded me of House of Marley.

(I feel like any asian and african family knows this trick but it looks like we're the only ones...)
Do you use a tiny watering can?
@@tylervlogs1216 I have a 3 liter one, perfect for like 5-6 washroom trips
@@tylervlogs1216 but actually even an old water bottle does the trick. Since sinks are often near the toilets, you can quickly fill it up each time
Probably a super silly question but how do you dry? Do you air dry or use a towel then?
Edit: I used a water bottle after childbirth and can't believe I haven't thought about using it after I healed! Duh!

We’ll have more! I’ll keep you updated ❤️
Yay!!!
You trying to convince your family not to watch is cracking me up 😂 also I’m obsessed with the case!! I’ll be asking for one for Christmas!!
I'm not letting go till December 1st y'all can fight me.
I wanna like but it's at 69
Yes!!!
I'm the same . Dec 1st is when I put up xmas
december 21 is when winter officially starts for me lol
That red is POPPIN on you girl!
Also I want your phone case SOOOO much! But I'm team Droid. Please try to make 1 for some Samsung droids.
I love your gifts guides & holiday & family tips/hacks
& playing "I spy Tippy!"
The squeeal for your phone case! 💙💙🤣🤣

🥰❤️🌸💝✨
We need an Earth Hero equivalent for Europe 😁 Loved this video, Shelby! Oh, and you look so good in red and your hair is just bangin' 😍
It's so sweet that you are getting your parents a mattress for christmas!
Tushy has a portable bidet for travel! I got it just because I couldn't afford the regular one, but it works great 😀
oh my gosh, Shelbie is glowing in that red😍
Giving a thumbs up before I even started watching because I already know it's gonna be good! :)
Agree with you to support small and substainable shops.
Shelbizleee, I just love 💘 you. BTW, red is gorgeous on you and I love how you end your video with your quote.
thank you for these great ideas!
Really great stuff, Shelbi. Useful for purchases all year round :D
Agree it is so important to support our local businesses (who are local people supporting us)! Love this video thank you 💜
When I lived in Japan I discovered my appreciation for bidets and squat toilets. Now I want a bidet and a squatty potty lol
OMG the phone case is sooo pretty! I would totally buy it if Earth Hero shipped to my country! I loved the red shirt on you btw 😍
Love your hair and makeup. Great gift guide!
AAAAHHH your quote on a sustainable phone case ?!?!?!! is this a dream
What a FANTASTIC resource for Earth friendly gifts or things we need for ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!💚🎁🌏

Love these videos Shelbi! You always introduce me to such great companies and products, thank you!
The phone case is so cool! I will totally get one when my phone needs an upgrade if they are still available.
LOVE this video... and your hair!!
You have the best voice! I would listen to you talk about literally anything.
I love how you added a view of the actual screen on their website and the price !! Keep it up Shelbi I'll take a look !
Life has been so busy with the baby and Im trying to catch up with your videos as I can AND OMG! This is the perfect excuse I needed to get my hands on another pela case!!! I just bought it! It is so gorgeous! Plus I love your phrase! Its always a motivation to do my best when I can.

Omg the phone case is sooo cute! I literally bought a pela phone case but I’ll have to get this in the future
This exactly what I needed for Christmas!

It is fall until December 21st. The winter solstice. FIGHT FOR FALL!!! (My favorite season)
Omg!!! Soo excited about the phone case for you! That’s brilliant!
Love that phone case design 😎🥰 cant wait to buy it!
Such a lovely human ❤ thank u for all the ideas. This was great.
I know I'm late to the party, but thanks for the holdiay shopping guide! I love your videos and all the content you provide. The phone case looks fantastic and I hope you can keep selling them in the future. Happy holidays!!
I love this video so much! Thank you for the great ideas!!! I’m definitely trading in my pela phone case in for yours! Lol
You are my favorite person on the internet. Thank you for being you, this was so helpful!
Ahh I’m so excited for your phone case! That’s amazing, I’d love to get one! Awesome video 👏🏻
It's fall till December 21st!!
I worked hard to think of sustainable gifts for my mom. I got holiday jam and a soup mix from a local shop. Then I thought of all the things I want her to try and decided to buy her dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent sheets, and beeswax wraps from earth hero.
For people watching in England Oxfam has a really good Christmas section and if you go to the website they have a page for things that aren’t secondhand but they’re all sustainable made and there is something there for everyone😊🌱
The Pela collab is so cool! Congratulations 💞
I think I got literal baby tears in my eyes when you announced the pela case cause I'm so proud of you! Congrats
i recommend a wishlist in general. I made a google docs years ago so i can link as well. Most of my family and friends do so now as well and i know they will actually get me something i will use
A Shelbizleee video first thing this morning?! You sure its not already Christmas?! :) & I am in love with the Pela case, I will definitely be ordering one!
