From Us to You: The Sweetest Sustainable Gift Guide

Wonder what to give? This year, we’re all about gifts that not only show you love the person your gifting, but that you love the planet too. Whether it’s for your best friend, family member, or anyone who loves a cute little something, here’s a guide to help you find sustainable options that feel just as precious and meaningful. From unique thrifted finds to our favorite KM picks, here’s how to make gifting both beautiful and sustainable.

For the Clean Girl in Your Life

Start with a fragrance that embodies clean beauty—Maison Louis Marie’s No. 4 Bois de Balincourt. This sustainable perfume offers an earthy, woody scent with a modern edge. We love MLM not only because they produce eco-friendly products, but they also use sustainable packaging and give back to environmentally-friendly organizations, working to make our planet healthier for all. Pair your perfect scent with our navy KM hat for a preppy, minimalist gift set. These pieces speak to the clean girl aesthetic—simple, polished, and eco-conscious.

 

For the Espresso Obsessed

Vintage thrifted wine glasses are a treasure hunt worth embarking on. Each set is one-of-a-kind, adding charm to anyone’s bar cart or coffee table. Thrifting makes it fun to choose items based on someone’s unique taste while being easy on the planet. Complement the glasses with Rhode’s espresso lip tint and toasted teddy pocket blush duo for that effortless beauty look. Add an Emi Jay hair clip and a rare Sonny Angel collectible to complete this espresso-lover’s gift. These are perfect for the girl who loves her espresso just as much as she loves her style.

 

For the Jewelry Lover

Thrifting jewelry is an exciting adventure—you never know what rare statement pieces you’ll uncover. Finding unique, vintage jewelry that you won’t see anywhere else is the perfect way to give a timeless gift while being eco-friendly. At Kait Macleod, we’re all about opting for pieces that stand out from the crowd, blending sustainability with style.

 

For the Cute and Charming Girl

Our girly and fun Comet Hat pairs wonderfully with a pink clip sourced from a small Etsy creator. Complete the gift with Rhode’s ribbon peptide lip-treat for a hint of gloss. This is for the girl who exudes charm, loves pastel colors, and can’t resist a fun accessory. 

 

For the Girl Who Doesn’t Want to Forget

A vintage or thrifted camera is the ultimate sustainable gift for someone who loves capturing memories. Recycling cameras that might otherwise end up forgotten is a great way to reduce waste, and you can find these gems on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or local flea markets. For the girl who’s always out and about, this is the perfect accessory that ensures every moment is cherished. 

 

For the Baker in Your Life

The Ladurée macaron recipe book is a dream gift for any baker. Add a Sonny Angel or two to make this set even more adorable. It’s the sweetest way to celebrate someone’s love for baking and fun eclectic style. (To make this gift more sustainable, try and buy the book second-hand!)

To make gift wrapping more sustainable, include our hand-crocheted Cadeau Party bow. This reusable bow can be repurposed as a clothing pin, a bag charm, or reused for next year’s gift-giving, eliminating unnecessary waste from discarded wrapping.

 

For the Fashionable Friend

Gift your stylish friend our new hand-knit Palmer cardigan, made from a luxurious blend of brushed alpaca and Merino wool. This piece isn’t just a warm, cozy addition to their wardrobe—it’s also a meaningful gift, hand-knit by skilled women in Ukraine. The cardigan’s versatile sizing ensures it fits most body types, making it an easy and thoughtful choice for any fashion lover. Plus, by choosing this cardigan, you’re supporting fair-wage jobs for women in need during these difficult times. Each piece carries the craftsmanship and care that comes with handmade items, offering a unique and personal touch.

 

 

This holiday season, show your love by choosing gifts that give back to the earth, too! With these thoughtful, sustainable ideas, you’re sure to find something special for everyone on your list.
