The brand has reduced the use of unnecessary packaging, reduced bottle weight and discontunued transparent bottles in its pledge towards sustainabilty. Maison Telmont also makes some of the most delicious wine I’ve ever tasted, including the Réserve De La Terre 2017, a fresh summer-y sparkling wine with hints of almond and bright citrus on the palette.

RadRover 6 Plus Electric Fat Tire Bike

Want a gift that cuts down on carbon emissions and will save your recipient some precious time on their commute? With a robust 750-watt motor, this RadRover 6 Plus from Rad Power Bikes is just as capable of climbing steep hills as it is for powering through gnarly trails.

We like that the motor can go as far as 45 miles on one charge, making it one of the longest-range bikes we’ve tested. Beefy tires and rugged front shocks make it great for any type of terrain, and it’s got great stopping power thanks to a hydraulic breaking system. 

Choose between high-step or step-thru bike options, the latter of which is a little easier to get on and off, and it fits riders from five-foot-two to six-foot-two. The bike’s tough as nails, and with a long range battery, it’s a great alternative to gas-guzzling cars or public transport. 

Buy on Rad Power Bikes for $1,399+

U.S. Wellness Meats offers sustainably-raised, fully grass-fed meat that’s available to order straight to your doorstep — and who doesn’t love not having to think about what to make for dinner for thr week?

Its site makes shopping according to the animal, holiday, diet, and season a breeze, but we especially love that you can get bundles, like the Farm Fresh Bundle featuring cuts of top sirloin, beef patties, tenderloin fillet and more. Their farms don’t use any pesticides, herbicides, added growth hormones, GMOs, or antibiotics, either.

The site even offers pantry items, so you can order plenty of snacks to chow on in between your main dishes too, whether you’re sending a box to a chocolate lover or want to stock up on some cheeses. Bonus: You get free shipping included on orders over 15 pounds.

Off-set your carbon footprint when traveling by swapping your luggage for something from Solgaard’s Shore-Tex collection, which features unisex bags and backpacks made from upcycled, ocean-bound plastic.

All of Solgaard’s products are shipped in water-resistant, reusable (and reversible) tote bags. Some, like the Lifepack backpack shown here, even come with a slot for a solar-powered charger (included with purchase). Further proof of the company’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing: the New York-based brand has pledged to remove 229 ocean-bound plastic bottles for every item sold.

OUTERKNOWN is doubling down on its S.E.A. Jeans — soft, rugged everyday pants made from organic cotton and produced in a fair-trade facility that recycles 98% of water used during the production process. Snag a pair of selvedge jeans in the “Ambassador Slim Fit,” which hangs close to the body while still giving you plenty of room to move around (beach or street).

Living Composter

Composting doesn’t have to be overcomplicated with this minimalist, stylish-looking biomorphic composter.

Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus

Paravel’s Avatior Carry-On Plus is an FDA-approved piece of luggage you can feel good about using. Its outer shell, zippers, lining, and handle are all made out recycled plastic and aluminum. Even better, the company’s shipping practices are carbon neutral, and it’s committed to planting one tree with every purchase.

This carry-on bag is large enough to hold enough clothes for roughly a week, but small enough to fit inside the cabin on most domestic and international flights. Our favorite touch is its three-digit lock, which ensures the luggage’s zippers stay closed during your flight. 

Buy on Paravel for $475

Conscious Step Socks

Put your best foot forward with Conscious Step sock gift boxes, which are not only sustainably sourced and packaged, but let you decide where you want to focus your giving. 

Every purchase gives back to different nonprofits, with themed socks that do everything from “conserve rainforests”, to “protect endangered animals”. The soft, organic cotton socks themselves have Terry padding for extra comfort, and are Fairtrade, GOTS, and vegan-certified (even the gift box itself is made from recycled packaging). We like these winter-y designs that help donate to protect endangered animals in the arctic. 

Buy on Conscious Step for $25+

Bearaby Tree Napper Weighted Blanket

You don’t know what you’re missing until you’ve tried sleeping with a weighted blanket, and we like this sustainable one from Bearaby, made from wood pulp sourced from eucalyptus trees in a responsible, closed-loop process. The resulting “TENCEL Lyocell” fabric is softer than silk, yet keeps you cool like linen.

The blanket is available in three weights — 15, 20 and 25 pounds — to provide a comforting “hug” as you sleep. The weight blanket helps to stimulate the production of serotonin (happiness hormone), reduce cortisol (stress hormone) and give an overall sense of ease to help relax and fall asleep. 

Buy on Bearaby for $215+

by Humankind Bath and Body Products

by Humankind’s collection of bath and grooming products are designed to reduce single-use plastics, which means mouthwash tabs instead of bottles, and shampoo and conditioner bars that look like soap but lather up for your hair. Deodorant is packaged inside a refillable bottle (refill sticks can be ordered online) and a just-the-right-size dopp kit is made from a polyester fabric derived from recycled bottles.

What we like: the brand’s chic packaging and gender-neutral formulas are as attractive as they are effective, elevating your bathroom counter as well as your grooming routine. It’s proof that looking good and living sustainably can go hand in hand.

Using it with plain water will produce seltzer, but with a special cap that lets you control the release of carbonation, you can now fizz juice, tea, cocktails, wine and re-fizz regular soda (which definitely makes it stand above rival carbonators like the SodaStream).

prAna Los Feliz Flannel Shirt

Made out of organic cotton and recycled polyester, prAna’s Los Feliz Flannel is a solid staple for any man’s wardrobe.

We’ve gotten to try the shirt out, and found it surprisingly soft to the touch. The shirt wears well — not too slack or too tight — and the pecan pie color way is easy to pair with jeans, sweatpants, or chinos.

We’re fans of this particular button up, but Prana has a wide selection of “Gift With Purpose” sustainable men’s and women’s styles you should check out if you’re searching for gifts.

Not only does it have a 3-stage filtration process that captures 99.7% of airborne pollutants, the Blueair boasts high energy efficiency too, claiming to use no more power than a single light bulb.

The 360-degree air intake means you can place it anywhere in a room, and because it performs no louder than a whisper on the lowest setting (18 decibels), the 411i Max is our favorite air purifier for apartments and shared spaces.

Lettuce Grow Farmstand

The ultimate gift for the sustainably-minded person on your list is one of Lettuce Grow’s farmstands, which allow you to grow fresh produce at home without taking up too much space (roughly three square feet).

The base of the farmstand is made out of ocean-bound plastic, and its watering system (you can hook it up to a hose, or refill it manually using a bucket), and uses about 95% less water than traditional gardening according to Lettuce Grow. While it’s designed to be used outdoors, Lettuce Grow also has Glow Rings, which allow you to farm indoors.

It’s an investment, but Lettuce Grow’s farmstand is an eco-friendly gift that can foster a love of gardening, reduce waste, and encourage healthier eating.

The set we’re recommending comes with five 24 oz BPA-free, LFGB-certified (a safety standard stricter than the FDA) silicone containers. What makes these containers special is that when you’re done, you can fold them up like an accordion, and close the clasps for a spill-proof seal. 

If you know someone who loves to batch cook, brings their lunches to work, and wants an easy way to stop going through plastic baggies, these containers are the answer.
