Eco Friendly Stocking Stuffers For the Holidays

Well here we are again… Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and holiday gift shopping. Just like last year, the economy is in a slump and bargain shopping is once again at the forefront. The good news is that it’s still possible to find high quality and affordable presents. Eco friendly products are the gift that keep on giving because not only are they inexpensive, but their energy efficiency also makes the recipient save money in the long run. Go green this holiday season by giving environmentally safe stocking stuffers that will help your friends and loved ones live more eco friendly lifestyles.

Easy and Eco Friendly

One of the most common gifts that is found in any female’s stocking is makeup, so why not give environmentally safe makeup instead? For example, a mascara that is made of all natural ingredients and packaged in a tube made from post-consumer recycled aluminum. Perhaps even lip gloss that is made from organic materials.

For the kids in the family toys are a no-brainer, but how about purchasing toys made from natural and organic ingredients such as rubber wood and recycled materials? Everybody love stuffed animals, so you can also go green here by making sure the animals are made from organic wool and cotton and colored with natural dye. This precaution is also best for the health of the children because such materials are non-toxic.

If you know any animal lovers, there are plenty of eco friendly pet supplies out there. For example, biodegradable baggies that can be used to pick up after dogs, or organic dog treats that are high in nutritional value and contain no additives. If you find yourself shopping for a cat person, you can’t go wrong with biodegradable cat litter. All-natural pet shampoo is also a fantastic idea because it can be used for all animals, and it doesn’t contain a harsh alcohol base like most pet shampoos.
