Our top 5: Favorite Clever and Sustainable Holiday Gifts under $150
With a much needed shift in consciousness toward eco-friendly, sustainable living, the holiday season is a perfect time to show your loved ones you care by caring about the environment at large.
Steer clear of gifts that require packaging, especially single-use plastic and other wasteful materials. Keep in mind local artists and designers you can support with a fun purchase! And if possible, avoid shopping online to reduce the burden of shipping goods (this one is a hard one, especially if what you want can’t be found locally..but it’s worth a try!)
A Pretty Holiday Outfit
For the stylishly inclined, snag a sexy piece from Reformation, a fashion brand that has been on the forefront of sustainability and has quickly skyrocketed in popularity since their launch only a few years ago. Textile waste makes up approximately 6% of trash entering US landfills each year. Reformation uses deadstock fabric (i.e. perfectly good leftovers) for 15% of their products. And 75% of their fabrics are in the top sustainable fabrics. Bonus: they also sell one of a kind vintage pieces! Locations in Los Angeles, New York City, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Texas, Canada and the U.K.
