Our top sustainable gifts for 2023
Gift boxes make an impact
Gift boxes stuffed with delicious treats and other goodies are always a hit. These gift boxes are like adult stuffed stockings. They have fun, variety, and attractive packaging. Your commitment to economic and environmental stewardship is reflected in gift boxes that only contain sustainably grown and produced treats. The amazing selection of gift boxes offered by Packed With Purpose is a testament to the company’s female ownership. Each supplier has committed to sustainability from small-scale producers.
Fair trade, organic coffees and teas
Nearly everyone enjoys tea or coffee. It’s easy to find out the preference of your team by using a digital survey similar to one you would use at a luncheon. Many coffees and teas are produced using environmentally harmful processes, poor labor practices, and harsh insecticides. Indigo Coffee offers a variety of fair trade, organic, and kosher coffees. You can also subscribe to their newsletters or purchase gift certificates. For fair labor and fair trade organic teas, you can check out Numi Teas.
Sustainable swag
An excellent way to establish relationships with new clients or employees is by giving them fun company swag. The payoff is huge for the little effort required to find sustainable options. You can show your commitment to sustainability by purchasing hoodies and tees made from sustainably produced materials. Tumblers and thermoses are great gifts that help to reduce plastic bottle use. While pens with company branding are very common, you can save money by choosing cheaper products. Think about office supplies like pens, notebooks, and phone cases made by a good company or other similar suppliers committed to reducing plastics. You can welcome your new colleague with style by putting it all in a trendy and sustainably made tote bag from .
Membership to the Sleep and Meditation App
Some gifts don’t require shipping or materials at all. I have raved before about the best meditation and sleep apps. When researching these apps, I spoke to friends and found that everyone was interested and eager to learn more. Although may seem niche, the importance of mindfulness is very important. With wellness apps like Calm or Headspace, proper sleep, self-care, and well-being are now mainstream. Even employees who might be resistant to the idea of meditation will find it beneficial to listen to calming music at work, and get deeper sleep at night.
Slippers that are eco-friendly
Shoes are our most treasured item of clothing. Because we are picky about our shoes, we don’t often give them as gifts. Slippers are something we don’t wear very often, so we always need more. Comfortable slippers made from sustainable materials and processes, such as Dooeys , are available from eco-friendly companies like Dooeys . Don’t be surprised that your employees will love them and wear them to work!
Join a local cooperative
Membership to a local co-op was the best gift I received onboarding. They often sell organic, small-batch foods that are locally grown. Perhaps even more, I was invited into the larger community by my membership. I was able to meet top leaders and learn about the seasons of produce in a region I had never seen. Nearly all communities, urban and rural, have a co-op food marketplace. Gift memberships allow you to invite your friends into the community. It shows that you are a thinker locally, collaboratively, and committed to sustainability.
Meal kits that are environmentally sustainable
Your employees are often busy. Your employees are busy. We all strive to cook well as part of our daily routines and nightly sleep-ins, but sometimes we stop for fast food on the way home. Then, we crash both mentally and physically. Pre-made meal kits make great gifts and provide a more convenient way to cook for busy days. Eco-friendly meal kit options offer all the deliciousness and variety you would expect but in a more sustainable package and with healthier ingredients. Blue Apron is a brand you probably already know. Purple Carrot is featured in Fast Company, Inc. For your meal kit gift.
