THE YOGI We all have the urge to get into downward dog once in a while, and feel the fresh renewal that comes from a short time inverted. These gifts will delight the inner-peace seeker in all of us.
JUTE YOGA MAT This amazing yoga mat is vegan, recyclable, and made of jute fibers. These mats are designed in Australia, and the company that makes them is dedicated to keeping plastics and BPA off your mats. They also plant a tree for every mat sold, and they come with a 100% cotton carrying strap.
YOGA MAT CLEANER If you’re going to do yoga, you’re going to need to keep your mat clean and free from bacteria. This organic yoga mat cleaner is safe for all mat types, not just that cool jute one above. It’s handcrafted, biodegradable, and uses your favorite essential oils.
THE WRITER Do they always carry a pen and notebook? Upgrade their utensils to help save the environment.
CORK-COVERED NOTEBOOK Perfect for your favorite aspiring novelist or bullet journalist, this cork-covered notebook is vegan, and lays flat for optimal writing space. The pages are thick, dotted, and acid-free for archival quality work. There’s a rare pen loop included, so don’t forget to grab the pens below.
RECYCLED BOTTLE PENS These multicolored pens are made from recycled water bottles - 89% post-consumer waste - and feature that familiar 0.7 mm point you know and love in your original Pilot G2 pens. They are, without a doubt, a delightful addition to any desk set.
PLANTABLE PENCILS If your writer doesn’t like pens or they’re not ready for permanent marking yet, here are your favorite #2 pencils with a twist. When you’re done with them, just grab a flower pot or head to the yard and stuff them in the ground. The seeds inside will sprout Forget-Me-Nots, Basil, and Thyme.
While we’re here, we might as well acknowledge that those gifts are still going to need to be wrapped. As you already know, in America we waste wrapping paper like crazy. Well, not anymore; there’s a wrap for that. Grab some eco-friendly, plantable wrapping paper, and put your mind at ease this season, knowing that no matter where it ends up, your paper will biodegrade and grow flowers. Now, get going on your eco-friendly shopping and wrapping. Happy Holidays! Terra Walker is Writer and Editor, Culinary Coach, and WordPress Instructor.
