10 Sustainable Gifts Under $25 That Actually Get Used

10. Socks. Everyone can always use socks and socks aren't really a great option to buy used...socks from conscious step are cute, ethically and sustainably produced, and give support great causes. So why not? 

9.  Notebooks. Anyone else have little notebooks everywhere? It's a very practical gift that won't end up in the trash. Choose from our Coffee Notes notebooks, or our notebooks from Cambridge Imprint.

8. Bar soap. Ours is plastic free, made with organic materials and toxin free scents. Opt for a scent free "Pink Sands" if you're unsure. Grab two if its within your budget, or pair with a soap saver bag or soap lift to keep it in good shape!

7.  Refillable Hand Sanitizer. (coming soon!) Unfortunately Winter brings a host of illnesses. A pocket hand sanitizer is always helpful...let them know its refillable too so it doesn't just end up in the trash! (oh and non toxic, obviously)

6. Cocktail (or Mocktail) Mixers. Easy to mix up a "fancy" drink with these in no time. Small batch and delicious, a safe bet for someone that you either know will love it...or don't really know that well. Bonus, that Boston Round glass bottle is perfect for refilling. 

5. Shower Steamers.a perfect treat to relax in your shower!

4. Mini Lotion bars - we love these lotion bars from Kate McLeod. A mini is perfect to try to gift to a friend! 

3. Body Wash Bar.  Everyone who tries these loves them. A great gift for a spouse, a tween who is trying new things out, or the body product obsessed. Pair it with a plastic free (and washable!) pouf and it's still under $25.

2. Nothing says fun like a puzzle. Okay.... well maybe not everyone thinks this, but I know I am not the only one! For those of us 'puzzlers' there are definitely 'good puzzles' and not great puzzles (floppy pieces that give off grit....). Yeah I'm a puzzle snob. We love these puzzles from the New York Puzzle Company because they are high quality, a good price point, and made from sustainably sourced materials. Winter Collection.       Everyday puzzles. 

1. Sponges. Alright so many sponges aren't "sexy" or "chic," but I can assure you everyone who tries them loves them, and your recipient will be grateful to you and they will get used (and last at least a year!)
