These stocking stuffers are geared toward the yogi, the vegan, the meditator, and the soul-searcher. You know who I am talking about – the person who actually looks at ingredient lists and actually gives a shit about what they put on their skin and in their bodies. The one who typically eschews gifts for that very reason — because it’s not always easy to buy gifts for such friends or family members. But if done right, it can be a lot more fulfilling. These seven stocking stuffer ideas will help you make the right choice for your loved one.

7 Stocking Stuffers for the Eco-Conscious Soul

1. Crash Jewelry Teal Porsche Bundle

Jewelry is a common gift, but it’s not always meaningful beyond the act of giving itself. CRASH Jewelry adds a little more thought to their beautiful jewelry designs, like this Teal Porsche bundle, which includes a bangle, a necklace, rings, and earrings. CRASH make sustainable accessories from the metal of luxury automobiles that have had minor accidents. Each order arrives with a certificate of authenticity that lists the name of the car that the jewelry came from. Bundle price: $230.

2. SoulMakes Chloe Quartz Keychain

Be engaged in the healing process at all times with this quartz keychain. Clip it onto a set of keys or a favorite purse and let it spread the good vibes wherever it goes. Price: $23.

3. Aura Cacia Grounding Root Organic Chakra Balancing Roll On

Give the gift of groundedness with this simple chakra-balancing roll on. Apply its essences onto the crown of your head, behind the ears, just under the neck, and to the temples. It’s made with water and pure essential oils, including vetiver, patchouli, bergamot, and nutmeg. Use daily! Price: $15.

4. 100% PURE Sheer Cherry Lip Gloss

Make-up is a common stocking stuffer gift for any queen in your life, but don’t just gift  any ol’ lip gloss – gift a lip gloss made with natural, recognizable ingredients that will enhance not only beauty but also nourish the skin. This sheer cherry lip gloss is made with grapeseed oil, shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E and the pigmented extracts of pomegranate, wine, cherry, cranberry, blackberry, raspberry, peach, coca bean, plum, vitamin C, and strawberry. Price: $20.

5. Simply Divine Get Acquainted Kit

You may not want to splurge on a full set of natural organic skincare for a friend or family member, because that can become quite expensive, but samples will do just fine. Cult-favorite Simply Divine Botanicals is an old school natural skincare player whose longevity speaks volumes about its quality. In this pack of more than a dozen samples, you get the full-body experience, head to toe. Price: $39.

6. Fine & Raw Coconut Chunky Chocolate

Fine & Raw produces perhaps the most delicious raw chocolate out there. The holidays are certainly about indulgence, and Fine & Raw’s coconut chunky bar is in good company. The difference it has with regular milk or dark chocolate varieties is that it is made with raw cacao, coconut butter, blue agave, coconut sugar, cacao butter and is completely unprocessed and not heated in a way that destroys its inherent nutrition. Try it once and you’ll be hooked. Price: $7.

7. 52 Lists for Happiness

If you’ve got a list lover in your life, this is the perfect gift. This book makes journaling a matter of inspiring positivity, balance, and joy. Author Moorea Seal draws from happiness research and her own personal philosophy to create a tool for list lovers so that they can unveil their own unique happiness. The 52 listing prompts encourage readers to reflect, acknowledge, and invest in themselves. Price: $13.

The post These 7 Stocking Stuffers are Cool Enough for the Person Who Has Everything appeared first on EcoSalon.

For holiday gifts small enough to be tucked into a stocking, we’ve got more than a few ideas. From jewelry to skincare to accessories, all of these eco stocking stuffers are perfect for keeping sustainability at the forefront of your holiday season.

1. Handmade, Upcycled Earrings

These beautiful earrings come from Bead & Reel, a company that believes that fashion and ethics aren’t mutually exclusive. The store offers eco-friendly, cruelty-free items including clothing, jewelry, and accessories. The Muna earrings are handmade from upcycled bullet casings from the Ethiopian/Eritrean war made by a women’s cooperative employing women overcoming complications from female genital mutilation, rape, and HIV/AIDs.

2. Hand-Sewed Headband

Another idea for eco stocking stuffers from Bead & Reel is this Amelia Headband, hand-sewn by artisans in Costa Rica. Available in a number of different color patterns, we love this idea for sisters, cousins, or anyone else you want to buy similar yet individual gifts for.

3. Intense Hair Care

Who doesn’t need a bit of moisture now that winter has set in? This cocoa butter hair mask is made with 100 percent vegetarian ingredients like argan oil and cocoa butter for intense restoration to dry, damaged hair.

4. Goes-Anywhere Travel Scarf

MATTER is the perfect place for gifts for your eco-conscious travel buddies. A business focused on affordable luxury and thoughtful design, MATTER sells items that foster designer-artisan collaborations and have a firm focus on sustainability and industry change. With that in mind, we love this hand-printed cotton silk scarf. It’s large enough to double as a turban, sling bag, wall hanging, or sarong, and the bold and beautiful Philippines print comes from Anya Lim of ANTHILL Fabric Gallery, inspired by the Sunshine Nation.

5. Yummy Body Scrub

This cinnamon vanilla brown sugar polish from Epicuren is the ultimate gift for any friend who could use a home spa day (and who couldn’t?). This skincare line uses all-natural ingredients and is made with environmental awareness in mind. The scrub, made with brown sugar and honey, is a natural humectant and smells positively dreamy.

The post 5 Eco Stocking Stuffers You Won’t Need a Gift Receipt For appeared first on EcoSalon.

Looking for DIY stocking stuffer ideas that don’t suck? Well we’ve got seven ideas that you (and your recipients) will love–especially since they come with a focus on green living.

If you’re like me, then being at a loss for cool stocking stuffer ideas is a yearly occurrence, which is why we’re here to mix things up. Don’t waste money and pollute the environment with a bunch of junk from the dollar aisle that will just get tossed out the following week. Instead, make some extra special from-the-heart gifts that your friends and family will actually enjoy receiving. From lip scrubs to cute hand warming sachets, you’ll have as much fun making these as you will giving them away!

1. Reusable Baggies

These cute (machine washable!) baggies are whipped up in just a few minutes with the use of a sewing machine, some velcro, and the oil cloth fabric of your choice. They’re perfect for your lunch-packing eco-friendly cohorts, and will quickly eliminate the need for all of those plastic baggies. Not only can these be used for more than just lunch food, but you can also pre-fill them with goodies before placing them in the stocking. Check out the tutorial from The Chic Site.

2. Peppermint Lip Scrub

As far a stocking stuffer ideas go, this one is a winner. This peppermint lip scrub from A Little Glass Box is easy to whip up using household ingredients, looks great when delivered in a cute glass jar, and is apparently very inexpensive compared to buying retail. Not only that, but this gift is from the heart, and your lucky recipients will know exactly what the ingredients are.

3. Hot Chocolate Spoons

I have been wanting to make these for, like, ever, and The Nerd’s Wife blog has finally sealed the deal. Who wouldn’t want to receive a hot chocolate spoon? I, mean, really? These are easy to make and they look like so much fun, too! What’s great is that you can make these with vegan chocolate and gift with vegan marshmallows, or keep the recipe as-is. As far as wooden spoons go, check out this all-natural version here, or consider going thrifting for some unique silver spoons, give them a good scrub, and dip those instead.

4. Seed Bombs

For truly unique stocking stuffer ideas, look no further than this awesometastic seed bomb DIY project from Rae of Sparkles. Beautiful, customizable, and earth-friendly, this is a handmade gift that you’ll love to receive as much as you’ll love to give. Whether you use wildflower seeds, or something that’s worthy of a kitchen window herb garden, all you have to do is mix up the ingredients and wrap with some fabric or burlap, and your favorite ribbon.

5. Mini Planter Magnets

If you (or your recipient) love wine and succulents, and we’re betting you do, then this DIY stocking stuffer is the perfect little handmade project. Round up those wine corks, and follow the instructions from Upcycle That to craft this adorable gift. Not only is it good for the environment, but it’s such an unexpected and economical stocking stuffer. I would suggest making these closer to gift giving time and then wrapping them up (plant and all) in a cute square of fabric or gift wrap just before you’re ready to present.

6. Upcycled Hand Warmers

These are attractive, functional, easy to make (no sew! woot!), and small enough to squish into a stocking. Gather up those old sweaters, unused fabric, or cruise the thrift stores aisles looking for some ugly Christmas goodness, and make these nifty hand warmers that also double as excellent stocking stuffers. Blogger Rachel Talbott uses vanilla and lavender essential oils in hers which, in my opinion, takes these DIY handwarmers to the next level.

7. Lemon Peppercorn Soap

An exfoliating bar of soap is a great way to slough off that dull winter layer of skin. These beautiful bars of soap are easy to make, can incorporate natural and organic ingredients, and fit neatly into a stocking. Burkatron has the tutorial you need to pull these off. We love the simple twine bow, but you can get as fancy as you’d like.

Homemade gifts can be elevated and awesome, so skip over the dollar aisle this year and make a few of these awesome presents for your lucky loved ones. If you’ve enjoyed these stocking stuffer ideas as much as we do, then hop on over to the EcoSalon Facebook page and share your favorites!
