31 Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas from Amazon
If you are like me, you are probably scrambling right about now to find last minute gifts for your family and friends. Amazon is a great place to find things that generally ship fast and arrive to the destination reliably. And if you aren’t seeing your family and friends this year, you can send it directly to them adding a little gift message at checkout!
I also love to shop products that are sustainable. This is not only eco-friendly, but also generally saves money for the recipient in the long run! Check out a more detailed list of my 8 favorite sustainable kitchen products that save you money and save the planet by clicking here!

Here is a list of 31 eco-friendly stocking stuffers or gift ideas for adults that you can order right from Amazon:
For women:
- Makeup Eraser Towel – I bought one of these a year ago and never have to buy makeup wipes or harmful chemicals again. These work so well!
- Foreo Luna Mini 2 – This tiny facial exfoliator is the perfect thing to use after the makeup eraser towel. It cleanses skin, unclogs deep into your pores, and gets rid of any makeup residue left over. It’s also like a mini 1 minute spa treatment. It’s also small enough to take with you when traveling overnight.
- Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
- Burt’s Bees Lotion
Around the House:
- Rechargeable Electronic Candle Lighter – This lighter is AWESOME! There is even a version of it with a long flexible neck, perfect for campfires, grills, or longer jarred candles. And the wind will not put this out while camping!
- Bamboo Towels – These are ultra absorbent and more durable than cotton. They are reusable and make from bamboo which is a sustainable material.
- Reusable Dish Towels – These are so much more durable than paper towels AND reusable. Simply throw them in with your laundry and reuse! Did I mention they come in fun patterns too? Like these pig ones, these llama ones, or this multi-pack with sloths on them. Adorable for anyone!
- Bee’s Wax Wraps – Perfect for covering up bowls/plates that would usually require plastic wrap or a lid. Eco-friendly AND it’s reusable!
- Silicone Reusable Food Storage Bags – These bags are the best!! Not only are plastic snack bags horrible for the environment, but they also are not very versatile or reliable. These bags can go in the microwave, dishwasher, freezer, or even be put in boiling water. Highly recommend!
- Glass Mason Jars – Another fun form of reusable storage!
- Reusable Glass Containers – These are the BEST. Plastic tupperware warps in heat, breaks, leaks, and potentially exposes you to harmful BPA. These glass containers have snap on lids that prevent leaking, can be put easily in the freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and even oven (lid removed) without being damaged. Minus the plastic and harmful materials!
- Keep it Fresh Produce Bags – These bags extend the life of your produce and can be reused many times!
- Reusable K-cups – Keurig’s are great, but all of those cups produce a lot of single-use plastic waste. They are also more expensive than bags of coffee! These reusable K-cups are eco-friendly, reducing single-use plastic waste and save you money in the long run!
- Meyer’s dish soap – Eco-friendly soap with a nice fresh scent!
- Reusable shopping bags that fold up super small – plastic grocery bags are the WORST. They have holes in them, rip and spill out all of your groceries, and hold like one or two items. These bags fold up so small you can just keep a few in your purse or glove compartment at all times. They hold a lot more and do not break. And best of all they are reusable! No more unnecessary grocery bags plastic waste.
- Reusable produce bags – I LOVE these bags. Fumbling with produce bags at the grocery store is always a pain. Throw some of these bags in with your reusable shopping bags and you are set!
- Metal Straws with Silicone Toppers – We all know plastic straws are in the past, but paper straws crumble after a few minutes. These straws are fun and reusable.
- Silicone Straws – These are another fun alternative to plastic and paper straws. Cleaning brush included!
- Wool Dryer Balls – These help to dry your laundry faster and eliminate the need for dryer sheets! You can even add drops of essential oils to these to add fragrance to your laundry.
On-the-go:
- Hydroflask – These are a better alternative to plastic water bottles and they keep things cold for 24 hours.
- Yeti Mug – BPA free, dishwasher safe, and keeps your drink warm until the last sip. Well worth it and makes for a great gift!
- Yeti Tumbler – If you are like me, you’ll want something that can fit in a car cupholder. If so, this tumbler is for you! It keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours or warm up to 12 hours. It fits in cupholders and also is sweat-free so you won’t get condensation of the outside when using ice!
- Swell water bottle – Another reusable water bottle option that keeps drinks cold or hot for extended periods of time. These also fit in cup holders and come in many different fun patterns! Make for perfect gifts for anyone!
- Retractable Metal Straws – These can easily be collapsed and put in your purse, pocket, or key chain so you can use them out at restaurants or on the go. These are perfect stocking stuffers for all ages!!
- Bamboo Utensils Travel Set – These are a perfect alternative to plastic ware on the go!
Fun & Unique:
- Herb Garden Kit – Instead of buying herbs in plastic containers at the grocery store, but grow your own right at home! These make for fun gifts for those who like to cook.
- Solar-powered Bulb String Lights – These lights run off solar power and great a great ambience.
- Succulents – Get some of these easy, cute plants for yourself, friends or family. Or get a bunch and give one to everyone!
- Sprout Plantable Pencils – These pencils are adorable. They have cute little sayings on them and when you are finished, you can plant them! There are seeds build right into the pencil.
- Candle in a Plantable Box – These candles burn for 60 hours and come packaged in a plantable box with seeds infused into it that will grow the scent of the candle!
- EcoCrock Compost Bin – For the people who have been talking about starting composting, this bin is perfect! It’s cute and small enough to fit on the countertop.
I hope this list helped you find some items to gift to your friends and family! (Or maybe you decided you wanted some for yourself too…. I won’t tell.)
