The eco-conscious are notoriously hard to shop for. No fans of mass production, and often critical of consumerism, we’re typically more grateful for pragmatic, sensible items that fuel and simplify our green lifestyles. That’s why this year, Sierra has scoped out holiday gifts that are as eco-conscious—or at least as functional—as they are beautiful to behold.

Recycled Paper Coasters, from Ten Thousand Villages

Know of a news junkie whose most cherished pairing is a cup of coffee and a newspaper? Artisans of the Highland Women’s Multipurpose Cooperative in Baguio City, Philippines, upcycle newspapers into spiraled, square building blocks and then adhere stacks of them using thread and starch—thus creating vibrant sets of four, three-square-inch coasters ($18). Heat- and moisture-tested (and approved), they’ll lend loved ones’ next cup of joe some unique flair.

Beauty Prep Set, from Derma E

How to give the gift of a youthful, radiant glow—that’s also 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, gluten, and GMOs? Whether they’re prepping for a wedding, party, or job interview—or simply seeking an eco-ethical (not to mention hydrating and anti-aging) new skincare routine—loved ones are bound to make use of this comprehensive set ($97). The gift includes full-size, top-selling offerings from Southern California-based Derma E: We’re talking hydrating cleanser, a hydrating mask with hyaluronic acid, and some microdermabrasion scrub, soothing moisturizing creme, and soothing eye gel.

Mama Tin-Tin Limited-Edition Basket Collection, from Songa International Designs

Help your eco-conscious friends tidy up and organize their worldly treasures with singular baskets ($64 to $119), handmade by female Rwandan artisans using sustainable ingredients such as banana leaves, upcycled fabric, recycled paper, and even repurposed cow horn. Songa translates in Swahili to “the path forward”—a true mantra of wanderlustful travelers—and its products are not only vibrant and striking, but also help put disadvantaged women on the path toward economic independence.

Self-Cleaning Smartphone Cases, from Goze

Cellphones are not only big-time bacteria collectors; they’re prone to cracks and damage—and thus to crowding landfills. Help save your eco-minded loved ones’ gadgets from shatters and germs with gifts from Goze. Their smartphone cases ($30 to $35) are antimicrobial, drop-safe, and—as a bonus—amplify sound. An antimicrobial agent is built into its polymer case, which houses an internal sound chamber that cranks up volume—no batteries or plug-ins necessary. Plus, Goze cases, designed for Apple and Samsung smartphones, are available in a range of styles and colors.

The Nuzzle Collar

Does the greenie in your life have a special furry friend? A four-legged hiking buddy? Help ensure that Fido, or Fluffy, is never featured on a Missing Pet flyer by gifting their human with a lightweight collar that doubles as a GPS tracker. The new Nuzzle collar ($190) sends real-time location updates directly to corresponding Nuzzle apps, which owners can download to their iOS or Android devices. The Nuzzle comes equipped with a charging station and two rechargeable batteries, as well as a durable and waterproof nylon strap, activity detection monitors—and peace of mind for pet parents.

BE-JEWELLed Fine Jewelry (Dedicated to Endangered Species), from WildAid

Looking to splurge on an animal lover? Good timing. Conservationist and jewelry sculptor Alexander Jewell has collaborated with WildAid, an organization that works to reduce global consumption of products made from wildlife, with a line of custom-crafted luxury jewelry created in the image of endangered species. Think manta ray and elephant pendants, rhino cufflinks, and humpback whale brooches. Handcrafted from eco-friendly 18K gold and ethically sourced gemstones, you can either order from the existing BE-JEWELLed collection (items range from $950 to $5,000), or have jewelry customized or commissioned to better reflect a loved one’s style, and/or favorite animal. One thing is for sure: Your recipient will be thrilled to learn that 30 percent of all proceeds directly benefit WildAid.
