1. A pack of 100% biodegradable straws that look and feel like plastic — which means they don't get soggy in hot or cold beverages — but are actually made from veggie fibers. Now you won't have to worry about that extra flavor note of "paper straw" in your cocktails and lattes.
2. A bio-based cork yoga mat so you can incorporate a bit of mindful movement into your daily routine, which will likely boost your mood and your energy. In addition to being made from 70% renewable materials, the unique cork surface and plant foam cushioning *also* make it super nonslip and odor-free!
3. A Bluecup starter kit containing a reusable, refillable coffee capsule that's compatible with most Nespresso machines — just fill it with your favorite fine-ground coffee, brew, and enjoy. Then, rinse and repeat the next morning!
4. Or, a reusable coffee filter made from 100% organic hemp for those of you who like to start your day with a manually-brewed cup of joe instead. Reviewers say this makes the coffee taste *even* better than disposable fliters so... sign me up.
5. A plastic-free lint remover brush so you can finally leave the house without looking like you're leaving the local petting zoo (even though that's kind of what your home has become at this point). Best of all, now you won't have to go through all those plastic lint rollers anymore!
6. A pack of biodegradable razors if you just can't give up the ease and convenience of your disposable plastic razors but hate all the waste. These are made entirely from wheat straw, so instead of filling up a landfill, they can be composted to nourish the earth at the end of their lifespan — and let's face it, that comes pretty quick with disposable razors.
7. A pack of paper pens because unlike other so-called "eco-friendly" pens with plastic ink cores, these ones feature stainless steel cores instead, meaning they are truly 100% recyclable. Super handy to have around the house or office, especially as you just never know when inspiration will strike!
8. A handcrafted Japanese wood diffuser that gently absorbs and disperses the aromas of essential oils naturally through the wood itself — that's right! No electricity or power required to indulge in your favorite relaxing and invigorating scents 24/7.
9. A fizzy toilet bowl bomb loved among BuzzFeed readers for its magical ability to make cleaning the toilet actually fun! Throw it in, watch it fizz, gently scrub, and then admire your ✨shiny✨ porcelain throne.
10. A pack of Swedish dishcloths AKA super absorbent, reusable, and biodegradable little towels, because not only are they more eco-friendly (and less stinky!) than sponges, and stronger and more reusable than paper towels, but they're also way more versatile — use them dry or wet for cleaning dishes, kitchen floors and appliances, scrubbing the tub, and other household tasks!
11. A box of ultra-soft cotton muslin tissues — and let it be noted that the dispenser "box" is actually made from denim cotton fabric too — so you can quit sniffling and get on with your day!
12. A three-pack of reusable beeswax wraps that'll make packing lunches, wrapping up produce, and any other tasks usually requiring plastic wrap so much more enjoyable. I don't know about you, but I always struggle way more than should be necessary when trying to use plastic wrap, and it's not even better for the planet!
13. A roll of heavy-duty bamboo towels for a more sustainable and higher-performing upgrade to your single-use paper towels. Each perforated sheet can be used up to 120 times (or more, if you want!) before you'll finally have to throw it out, but even then, the good news is that it's 100% biodegradable. Plus, the certified organic bamboo makes them softer and thicker than traditional ones, so you can even use them on your skin.
14. A handmade bottle brush because you need to stay hydrated to have a good day and in order to stay hydrated, you definitely want a clean water bottle — enter this baby, made with a rubber tree handle and coconut husk bristles, to get the job done.
15. A glass water bottle with a stainless-steel infuser so gorgeous you won't ever be tempted to use single-use tea bags again. Aesthetics? Check. Eco-friendly? Check, check.
16. A pair of BPA-free silicone dishwashing gloves to make the chore of doing the dishes both way easier and way less gross. In other words, no more cringing in disgust when your exposed hand comes in contact with those days-old food particles floating in the water. 🤢
17. A coconut bowl and spoon for serving up artsy smoothie bowls, cereal, soups, and any other yummy eats you can think of! These zero-waste bowls are super cute and will add a tropical aesthetic to your eating arrangement.
18. A hand-poured sustainable soy candle because it's 100% all-natural, certified cruelty-free, doesn't increase CO2 levels in your home, *and* smells just divine. Plus, for every candle purchased, a tree gets planted!
19. A reusable silicone bag free of BPA, PVC, and latex that's equally as handy as a plastic storage bag and then some. Sure, you can use it to store and freeze food, bring your PB&J to the office, pack toiletries, etc., but you can also use it to steam veggies in the microwave! I don't even buy plastic bags anymore because these are so awesome.
20. A bidet attachment that will entirely transform the experience of ~doing your business~. In fact, it's such a game changer you'll likely never go back to TP (or public restrooms) again.
21. An aromatherapy pillow mist to make your bedsheets, blankets, and linens smell so wonderful you'll be naturally soothed into a peaceful slumber and therefore wake up feeling rested and ready to take on the day for once!
22. A set of acacia wood cutting boards for an absolutely gorgeous (and more heavy-duty!) upgrade to your current plastic cutting boards. Even snack time is gonna feel gourmet when you use these to prep and serve!
23. An all-natural dog soap bar if your fur baby is constantly suffering from dirty, dry, or itchy skin. The gentle formula works to soothe their skin and soften their coat, thus making your nightly snuggle seshes together that much cozier.
24. An odor eliminator spray that uses a patented molecular technology to banish icky smells for good. Yet the true magic? It does all this with a formula that's nontoxic, biodegradable, cruelty-free, VOC-free, and free of artificial fragrance!
25. A Keeki bread bag since the beeswax lining allows the loaf inside to breathe, thus keeping it soft, moist, and oh-so-fresh for days. Time to say goodbye to stale sourdough and single-use wraps!
