We’ll take one!

Katie’s on a mission to live more sustainably, and she’s taking her friends with her!

This year, Katie’s giving some of her friends the gift of sustainable living! She handpicked products that will help people live a more plastic-free life, and put together a gift basket of all of them herself. How thoughtful! If you aren’t one of the lucky recipients of this gift basket, you can recreate it yourself for you or your loved ones.

Woven Gift Basket

Walmart

Katie’s putting all her plastic-reducing gifts in this woven gift basket. She chose it because it’s made of non-toxic wicker — and it’s pretty! It’s also strong and can be reused for gift packaging or other projects in the future!

Wool Dryer Balls

ThreeMain

Katie loves wool dryer balls because they contain no synthetic fillers. They can replace chemically infused dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners with an eco-friendly and natural alternative that will last more than a thousand dryer loads. Plus, they can shorten the drying time, which could reduce your electricity bills!

Bee’s Wrap

Amazon

Bee’s Wrap is a plant-based, reusable alternative to plastic wrap! While it’s called Bee’s Wrap, it’s totally vegan. They substitute beeswax for a blend of plant-based waxes with similar properties to beeswax. They’re made in Vermont, and come in beautiful patterns like this one Katie is gifting to her friends.
