The Best Eco-Friendly and Natural Gift Ideas for 2021

I've been a legit handmade soap addict for years, and love to give handcrafted soap as a gift!

These bars are made with a nourishing vegetable oil base, scented with essential oils and colored with natural botanicals. Plus, they are made by yours truly!

Everything is up to 30% off through early December, no code needed.

Skip the candles in favor of an essential oil diffuser (use it with the oil sets below). Diffuse essential oils in your home to freshen the air and boost your health. I love the natural, stone-look of these diffusers and they are from my favorite essential oil brand, Plant Therapy.

For the DIY health nut, this kit has everything you need to brew your own kombucha.

I love a project gift that is also something the recipient can enjoy for a long time! So fun!

For an essential oil newbie, this essential oil gift set includes the top 14 essential oils :7 singles and 7 synergy blends that every essential oil user should have. Pair this with a great diffuser, and you've got a killer essential oil set anyone would be excited to receive.

I love me some tea, and it is one of my favorite consumable gifts to receive. I love the tea gift sets from Art of Tea because they offer high quality, loose leaf and bagged tea and lots of organic choices.

Check out the  Wellness Tea Sampler, the Loose Leaf Tea Gift Set or the Classics Gift Set.

Monthly tea subscriptions are also available (and totally giftable!).

Speaking of tea, this double-walled insulated stainless steel tea mug tops my list of gifts for tea lovers (AKA, yours truly).

Go ahead and pick up a high quality loose tea infuser to go with it and you've got a gift any tea lover will go ga-ga for.

Earth Mama Organics has some of my favorite healthy products for pregnant mamas and new babies. I adore this gift set that's for the MOM instead of baby (because we all know pregnant mamas needs some TLC too!).

I love a good re-usable water bottle, and this one with a built-in filter tops my wish list. It's a glass bottle with a silicone sleeve, and the filter removes 99.9% of tap water contaminates. Yes please!

This brand also has a rad artist series of Nalgene water bottles with filters.

This ultra-clean set of super concentrated shampoo and conditioner is made without water, drastically reducing the amount of packaging needed. This is the first of this style of haircare products I've seen, and would make a great gift for anyone who is conscious of packaging waste or looking for eco-friendly options!

The perfect natural gift idea for the DIY-er in your life. Everything they need to make bath bombs with all natural ingredients in one giftable box. Such a fun gift!

I love this natural, eco-friendly and vegan beauty subscription box as an organic gift idea! Give one month or many, it's up to you.

Online yoga is a game-changer! With a huge selection of classes for all ability levels, anyone can do yoga at home. A yoga subscription is a great last minute natural gift, and your recipient will reap the benefits for months to come.

Gift your yoga loving recipient the best yoga mat around! It is slip proof, doesn’t get little rips like the cheap mats do, and stable enough to support you even during a sweaty hot yoga session.

I've had my jade yoga mat for years and its still in great shape.

(pair this with a year of yoga classes above and talk about an amazing gift!)

My new favorite bag is made of sustainable, ethically sourced CORK, and it is fabulous! The vegan 'leather' bag by JORD is soft and has a total natural vibe, while still feeling like a luxury purse.

I have the Emilie in light tea, a beautiful soft, earthy green shade. I adore the gold chain strap that can be carried as a cross-body or a shoulder bag.

These bracelets from 4ocean come with a promise: for every bracelet purchased, they clean 1 pound of trash from the oceans. Plus, the bracelets themselves are made from recycled plastics (the cord) and recycled glass (the beads).

I love a gift with an earth-friendly purpose!

Grow your own superfood with a Lion's Mane mushroom grow kit. The kit comes with everything you need to grow up to 2 pounds of mushrooms. Perfect for the home gardener or mushroom enthusiast in your life.

You can offset the carbon footprint of your recipient by helping to fund CO2 removal projects. Perfect for your philanthropic friend who doesn't want more stuff, giving carbon offset credits is a gift they can feel good about receiving!

Get a major phone case upgrade with a Pela compostable phone case - it's plastic free and comes in a great selection of colors and styles.

This bundle of CBD goodies from Joy Organics includes CBD gummies, CBD drink mix and a CBD lotion. Everything is organic and high-quality - this is a great way to try out CBD in several different forms!

For a houseplant enthusiast, an adorable, handmade planter will always be a welcome gift!

These were on my personal wish list last year, and I still love them! Made with organic cotton, these leggings are soft and comfortable, wash well, and....POCKETS. I've made a vow (to myself) to only wear leggings with pockets from now on, and these are pretty perfect IMO.

I purchase my regular size in these, for anyone looking for sizing help 🙂

While some people might think bedding is an odd choice for a gift, I think it is a superbly giftable item. I love the softness of my organic sheets, and especially love knowing the fabric my body is spending 8 hours a night on is non-toxic and healthy. Bedding is one of those categories I don’t usually splurge on, so this is a perfect 'upgrade' gift IMO.

This is one of my favorite 'upgrade' natural gifts! The Instant Pot does everything and gets used multiple times a week in my house.

While kitchen items don't always scream 'amazing gift idea!', the Instant Pot is the exception. Every kitchen needs one, IMO, especially if you're searching for less toxic options to current kitchen tools (like a crock-pot).

Give the gift of clean water with a Berkey water filter. This is THE best countertop water filter available and it does a stellar job of cleaning up your household drinking water. Make sure you spring for the fluoride filters if your city still puts fluoride in the tap water.  We have had our Berkey water filter for 7 years and absolutely LOVE it.

Water kefir is an easy to make fermented drink that is packed full of probiotics. It has a slightly bubbly texture and mildly sweet taste. Water kefir can be flavored with fruits and juices or consumed plain, and it is an awesome way to get more probiotics in your entire family.

I have made water kefir on and off for about 5 years, and I have purchased these water kefir grains 3 times and they are super high quality. Once you buy the grains, they will last for years if you take care of them (I let mine die, twice. oops). Water kefir grains do require a small amount of daily maintenance, and they will make A LOT of water kefir. So make sure you think your gift recipient would be up for a new mini-project with these.

I love this gift set from NYR Organic. Made with relaxing frankincense, this skincare collection tones and hydrates to leave skin beautifully rejuvenated.

My favorite kid-safe essential oils all in one gift set. This is great natural gift for healthy living mamas because all of the oils are safe for kids and adults.

I have (and use regularly!) all of these oils in my home.

I love to learn, so I always appreciate a new book about a topic I want to learn more about. Here are a few of my favorite books related to healthy living that each would make an amazing natural gift:

The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy  – this is my favorite book on essential oils. It is very thorough and includes lots of recipes to help put your essential oils to use.

Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies that Heal: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies that Heal – I just got this book myself, but am loving it! It makes using herbs approachable and teaches how to incorporate them into your daily diet.

My Paleo Patisserie: An Artisan Approach to Grain-Free Baking – this is a gorgeous book. I have given this book several times as a gift and use it myself in my kitchen. The recipes are all wonderful and the photos are beautiful enough this could be a coffee table book.

Still looking for more gift ideas? Check out these eco-friendly, natural subscription boxes for the healthy living enthusiast in your life.
