Looking for a gift for an eco-lover or someone just getting started on their sustainable lifestyle journey? Here's a gift box full of TEN practical goodies that are sure to bring joy and help the planet (retail value $190). Here is the full breakdown:
🌎 BOOK OPTIONS: Choose between An Almost Zero Waste Life, Eat for the Planet, and Cleaning Sucks
🌎 Organic Produce Bags by Lotus Sustainables (Set of 3) - This set of 100% organic bags includes three sizes and is great for reducing plastic at the grocery store or storage!
🌎 Sage Stick by Juniper Ridge - Burning sage can help reduce stress. These sage sticks are sustainably sourced in California and 10% of sales are donated to Indigenous groups and wilderness conservation.
🌎 Coconut Scourers (Pack of 5) - Get rid of plastic scour pads for good! These reusable biodegradable scourer pads are 100% plastic free, vegan, and sustainably-made from waste with coconut coir and natural rubber latex. Perfect for scrubbing away hard grease, stains and any food residues. These little beauties are tough on dirt but won’t damage your delicate crockery.
🌎 Four Piece Storage Bag Set by Net Zero Co. - Say goodbye to plastic bags! This food-grade silicone bag set includes three different sizes (small, medium, and large), so they can cover all your storage needs!
🌎 Reusable Bamboo Cutlery Set & Pouch by Full Circle - Eliminate plastic utensils on-the-go! This ocean-inspired three-piece cutlery set is the perfect companion for picnics, outdoor lunches, camping, travel, or trips to the beach! Made with recycled plastic bottles, this set helps divert plastic waste from landfills
🌎 Farmer's Market Multi-Pocket organic Cotton Tote by Earthlove - This 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton "Love the Earth" tote has four deep pockets on the outside as well as a smaller one on the inside. The outer pockets can hold anything from large bottles to zucchini (and anything in between!). The large roomy interior has a flat bottom and the bag comes with a detachable crossbody strap to keep your hands free (and without constantly needing to readjust as with most totes). The colour is a natural cotton with a two-tone grey bottom and straps dyed with eco-friendly plant dyes.
🌎 Davids All-Natural Toothpaste (Mint) - What's in your toothpaste? Most toothpastes contain synthetics and additives that may be good at cleaning teeth, but are not necessarily good for the environment (worse, tubes aren't recyclable and end up in landfills). Davids aims to change that: their toothpaste is 100% all-natural, EWG-certified, vegan, cruelty-free, and encased in a recyclable metal tube, making it THE most sustainable tube toothpaste available!
🌎 Tru Earth Cleaning Strips - Did you know one person typically goes through more than 30 single-use bottles every year, just from household cleaners? That's 4.2 billion wasted single-use bottles per year! Made in Canada, these handy all-natural strips do the dirty work for you, killing 99.9% of bacteria, mold, fungi, and viruses hanging out on your surfaces. Just toss into a spray bottle, add hot water, and shake. That's it! They can be used to clean countertops, floors, toilets, and more. We love the lemon fresh all-natural scent and zero-waste packaging, too.
🌎 Amber Glass Spray Bottle by Earthlove - Made in the USA, this reusable glass bottle helps significantly reduce the need for single-use plastic sprays. The amber bottle also offers more protection against light damage, blocking UV rays that can impact cleaning products.
Shipping is a flat rate of $9.95 US | Due to COVID-19 we have suspended international shipping.
We source products that are ethically and environmentally responsible, including:
Sustainably-Sourced
Ingredients that are sustainably-wildcrafted or ethically sourced. Critical plants like frankincense, palo santo, and white sage are vetted for their origin and ways they are harvested to ensure that we do not harm any wild or vulnerable habitats if we include these plant ingredients in our boxes.
Organic
Organic ingredients where possible and preferred (we understand that not every ingredient can be organic). We prefer ingredients that are certified USDA organic to ensure that ingredients were not sprayed with toxins or pesticides. All cotton in the box must be GOTS-certified organic.
All-Natural
No toxic chemicals, parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances, synthetics, or other nasties. Natural ingredients only (notable exception is synthetic Mica because the mining of natural mica exploits child labour and devastates the environment).
Vegan / Beegan
All products are Vegan or Beegan (can include bee products like honey and beeswax from ethical non-commercial beekeepers).
Sustainable Palm Oil or Palm Oil Free
No unsustainable palm oil. Lots of ingredients are palm-oil derivatives that appear in many skincare and beauty products, including magnesium stearate, cetyl alcohol, and glycerin. We only feature products that are palm oil free or source their palm oil from certified sustainable palm groves.
Low Waste Product Packaging
Packaging from our featured brands is as sustainable as possible: we prefer glass, kraft, steel, aluminum, and biodegradable sugarcane with little plastic. You won't find HDPE pouches, plastic squeeze tubes, or plastic that is not easily recyclable at most facilities. We avoid plastic packaging as much as possible unless the brand is using post-consumer material or contains plastic that is hard to replace (e.g., eye dropper lids). You won't see any non-recyclable material (e.g., no plastic shrink wrap, plastic textile bags, plastic accessory tags, etc.).
Consider End of Life
We consider the end of life on every product and try to source from brands that are upcycling materials, such as scraps of fabric from fast fashion, and creating closed loop systems with refill and bulk programs. Many products or packaging is compostable, reusable, or biodegradable (e.g., only compostable or biodegradable snack wrappers are accepted).
Sustainable Paper
Any paper products (e.g., cards, stationary, pouches, promo inserts) must be made from post-consumer paper or FSC-certified forests. No paper products from virgin forests are accepted. All Earthlove paper products, including any promo flyers and box magazine, are all post-consumer paper or FSC-certified sustainably-sourced paper.
Ethically-Sourced
Items sourced with ingredients or materials from outside North America must be one of the following: registered as certified Fair Trade; have direct, transparent trade partnerships with artisans; or partner with a manufacturer that has fair labor and fair wages certificates (depending on the country).
Eco Credentials
We look for eco certifications including, but not limited to, the Rainforest Alliance, USDA Organic, EWG, 1% for the Planet, Orangutan Alliance, Safer Choice, Fair Trade, FSC, Vegan, Cruelty-free, Leaping Bunny, GOTS, Green Seal, Green America, or B Corp.
Earthlove HQ is located on our small farm and natural apiary in Washington State. We take sustainability seriously behind the scenes too!
