While there is something that will always be exciting about big gifts (who doesn’t love unwrapping a big box?), we’re here to say that small, sustainable gifts can be just as amazing! Perfect for friends, family, co-workers, or anyone else you want to surprise this holiday season, stocking stuffers can mean just about anything. This year, say “no thanks” to wasteful single-use stocking stuffers, and opt instead for quality gifts in small packages. Check out some of our favorite sustainable stocking stuffers below!

Gold Sand Scrunchies
Anyone with long hair knows the struggle of always being in need of a hair tie. Something about how small they are makes them so easy to lose! And when so many of them are made from wasteful products, that makes for a lot of hair elastics ending up in landfills…over 20,000 pounds daily according to Kooshoo! Luckily, KOOSHOO is changing the hair tie game with their biodegradable (and adorable) hair scrunchies that make for a perfect balance of style and sustainability!
Face Masks
It’s 2020, which means you can never have enough reusable face masks. United By Blue has created masks that are the perfect balance of comfort, fashion and practicality. They’re easy to throw into any little bag and give to someone for a gift they will definitely get good use out of!
Bath Salts
Any gift that is stress reducing and relaxing is a good gift in our books! Well Kept Bath Soaking Salts are the perfect little gift for someone you care about. Or double up and buy some for yourself too! They’re packaged in a recyclable glass tube with a cork top, and are made with Himalayan sea salt, rose petals, and other natural ingredients that are great for your skin.
