  1. https://www.beeswrap.com Bee’s Wrap® Sustainable Food Storage is the “bees knees” as my Nana used to say! I LOVE these eco-friendly wraps! My collection has grown over the years. Say goodbye to plastic wrap and foil friends. Bee’s Wrap is a healthier alternative and much better for the environment. We’ve seen the horrifying images of plastic waste contaminating our beautiful oceans. Well… we can “bee” the change! Get it?… bee 😉  There are many sizes and cool patterns to choose from and this wrap can be used for everything! I wrap my kids sandwiches and snacks, chopped up fruits and veggies, the tops of containers in the pantry and fridge, you name it! Give it a try and you will “bee” glad you did. Okay, I’ll stop now.
  2. https://earthhero.com Bamboo utensil sets are perfect stocking stuffers! EarthHero has options for both kids and adults, who are really just larger kids. They come in fun, colorful velcro sleeves that are easy to pack and clean. Santa brought each of my kiddos a set last year. My daughter loves hers so much, she uses it at home in addition to school.
  3. https://target.com Oh how we LOVE “Tarjay”! You know, the place where you walk in to purchase one item and walk out needing to remortgage your home. 😉 Keep your blinders on and focus for a moment, number three on our list is a glass water bottle. They come in many different options but our favorites have glass tops to drink from. Water tastes better in glass and it is one of the healthier options for food/drink storage. Here are a couple we love: Ello Thrive & Contigo Purity Petal Glass Hydration Bottle
  4. https://smile.amazon.com You had to know we’d include Amazon on the list! Hello, my name is Ally and I’m addicted to Prime. Aren’t we all? Our next awesome gift idea is reusable shopping bags! There are so many to choose from! I personally like organic cotton because they are washable, durable and can survive my Tarjay habit. I also use reusable mesh produce bags. Most stores will give you a “bag credit” off your bill when you BYOBags. Here are my two fave brands: Organic Cotton Mart and Colony Co.
  5. https://peaceoutplasticbrand.com Plastic drinking straws are so 2017! Hook your family and friends up with a swanky stainless straw, brush and wooden case gift set! They will be the talk of the town when they hit the local juice bar for their favorite green smoothie. Kale is also very fashion forward. TIP: you can find this set for under $25 on amazon.com

So there you have it friends.  And, here’s the best part… We have only just begun.  Subscribe to our blog for more great holiday gift giving ideas to come. We share because we care 🙂
