There’s no denying the holidays can be a pretty wasteful time if you're not careful. From the loads of wrapping paper to non-reusable shopping bags that are about to fill up your living space, this season can be a frustrating time of the year for any sustainability-minded person.

The good news is that the array of sustainable, eco-friendly gifts available in shops this holiday season is unparalleled. From experience-based gifts that don’t create any waste to sustainable fashion brands that are revitalizing soil and using otherwise unusable fabrics, there are tons of Earth-friendly gift ideas for all the environmentally-conscious loved ones on your list.

So, what makes a gift eco-friendly? Firstly, you want to be sure you're working with a brand that has transparent practices in sustainability. Any gift that helps your loved ones live a more low-waste lifestyle is a bonus. Then, if the gift is made with upcycled materials or is a secondhand, pre-loved item, you've got a gift that fits the bill.

If your sister has plans to go low-waste in the new year, try a kit to get her off to a great start. If your bestie is all about slow fashion and captivated by her latest thrift find, hook her up with the Tree Hugger Bundle from Goodfair. And, if your mom always forgets her reusable tote, hook her up with a cute new option she won't leave behind.

Read on to find 25 of the best eco-friendly, sustainable gift ideas to help you shop local, handmade, and green this holiday season.
