One of the biggest polluters of the planet and one biggest consumer of resources is the manufacturing of bottled water. It also costs everyone a TON of money for something they can get for free! A fun practical gift is a Bubi water bottle! The water bottle that can be scrunched down to fit in a pocket or turned inside out to be washed. Use it to boil water or freeze water solid, Bubi can take it. Almost indestructible, Bubi Bottle is a great gift and a great way to keep a lot of plastic out of landfills.

Ethique Shampoo bars are a great way to reduce plastic consumption and a healthy gift for anyone interested in trying a new haircare routine. After wetting your hair, slide the bar over hair from root to tip and lather up! Make sure to keep away from water spray or it will surely melt. Ecologically minded, cruelty free, and reasonably priced, Ethique also sells lotion and conditioner bars.

Make-up Eraser
An amazing and useful addition to anybody’s makeup kit. Makeup Eraser cloths do just that. They eraser makeup with plain water. No makeup remover required. Seriously! Even stubborn eye makeup is powerless against them. This saves so much money and prevents hundreds of makeup wipes from clogging up landfills (or your toilet)
