Edited by: Abigail R. DePaola
Hey eco-conscious gifters & shoppers! Are you ready to step up your game with some seriously stylish and sustainable finds? I've rounded up my first lineup of products that'll have you looking good and feeling great. From never-ending bamboo pencils to dazzling Herkimer studs, these eco-chic essentials are about to become your new must-haves. Let's get started!
1. Never-Ending Bamboo Pencil: Tired of smudges and ink smears ruining your masterpieces? Say hello to our bamboo alloy pencil – the ultimate game-changer for artists, doodlers, and writers alike. With its smudge-proof design, you can sketch and scribble to your heart's content, without worrying about messy mishaps. Plus, its eco-friendly construction means you're not just creating art – you're making a positive impact on the planet!
~Jen's Thought Bubble~ Why did I choose this pencil for my gift boxes? Well, I'm all about finding unique items that stand out from the crowd, and this one definitely caught my eye. It actually reminded me of a pen I had when I was younger. My uncle gave it to me, claiming it was the same kind astronauts used because it could write upside down and never run out of ink. Now, don't get me wrong, I still have that pen, but let's be real here – pens dry up and run out of ink eventually. About the writing, it's thin, smooth, and slightly lighter than your everyday pencil which I completely prefer.
2. Bamboo Sunglasses: Protect your peepers in style with our bamboo sunglasses. Crafted from premium, sustainable bamboo, these shades are not only eco-friendly but are ultra-durable and lightweight for maximum comfort. And with polarized lenses to shield your eyes from harsh glare, you can rock this timeless accessory wherever you go.
~Jen's Thought Bubble~ I absolutely love sunglasses! I simply won't leave the house without them! We all should wear them to protect our eyes. When I first saw these I thought “wow they look so similar to my favorite sunglasses. Orange and yellow are two of my favorite colors, so when I tried them on and they actually fit my face, I was super impressed! The arms have a slight give which is good for all face shapes. My youngest has worn them too, and they fit her. I love the fit and style, they are sleek so they do tend to slip off the top of my head if I’m moving around a lot but that isn't a deal breaker for me. They are pretty and a great addition to any gift or just to have for yourself.
3. Essential Oil Headache Roller: Got a pounding headache? Reach for our headache ease essential oil roller and kiss those pesky pains goodbye. Infused with the refreshing scents of peppermint, frankincense, and rosemary, these little roller pack a powerful punch when it comes to soothing discomfort. Say goodbye to tension and hello to relaxation – naturally!
~Jen's Thought Bubble~ I'm absolutely smitten with essential oil roll-ons! There's just something incredibly calming about the sensation of rolling them on and experiencing that gentle, natural aroma. Given my super sensitive skin, I'm always a tad apprehensive about trying new products. That's why I stick to starting on my wrists – it's my safety net. So far, so good – thankfully, I've never had any adverse reactions. Touch wood! The scent combination in this roller is simply divine. It has become an absolute must-have in my purse!
4. New Zealand Wool Dryer Balls: Laundry day just got a whole lot greener with our New Zealand wool dryer balls. Made from 100% organic wool, these eco-friendly balls cut drying time by up to 25%, saving both energy and money. Plus, they soften fabrics without any of the harsh chemicals found in traditional dryer sheets. Talk about a win-win for your clothes and the environment!
~Jen's Thought Bubble~ Alright, buckle up – let's talk dryer balls! Now, I know what you're thinking – "Dryer balls? Really?" Hear me out, though. Sometimes, it's the everyday,"boring" items that deserve a moment in the spotlight. We want to feel confident about what we're using in our homes, right? So, after much anticipation, I finally took the plunge and tried out these dryer balls instead of my usual dryer sheets. And let me tell you, I was blown away! After tossing in four or five of these little wonders, and using them for about ten loads, the results have been great. Say goodbye to static and drying issues – these babies have got your back! Sure, they may add a little bit of noise, but it's nothing too bothersome. And let me tell you, they've earned a prime spot in my future kitchen/home-themed gift boxes!
5. Beaded Hoop Earrings: Add a touch of understated elegance to any outfit with our beaded hoop earrings! Crafted from hypoallergenic 14k gold fill and sterling silver, these beauties are perfect for everyday wear. Plus, their waterproof material ensures they'll stay looking fabulous no matter what the day throws your way.
6. Herkimer Studs: Sparkle and shine like never before with our Herkimer studs. Made from 14k rose gold fill, these dazzling earrings are guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go. And with their hypoallergenic, waterproof, and tarnish-resistant design, you can rock them with confidence – no matter the occasion.
~Jen's Thought Bubble~ Jumping into the world of earrings, let me tell you I’ve been rocking both these since I put them in, they’ve become my go-to accessories. When I commit to a pair of earrings, they stick with me for the long haul – and these little beauties have been no exception! Simple, sweet, and oh-so-stylish, they've held up like champs. No issues with showering or working out, no changing colors, no discomfort – they're just perfect for adding a touch of flair to your outfit, whether you're heading out for a day on the town or a romantic date night. Now, the studs are a tad smaller than I anticipated, but personally, I prefer them that way – better to be a smidge too small than too big and awkward-looking, am I right? Plus, they're versatile – I've been wearing them in my second hole, but they'd look just as cute in the first hole too.
So there you have it, folks – a curated collection of eco-chic gift essentials that'll take your style and self-care routine to the next level. Go ahead, treat yourself to a little sustainable gift – you deserve it! 🌿✨
