Stocking stuffers are one of my favourite things about Christmas. An oversized sock full of knickknacks and oddities? I’m all about that! To make your Christmas shopping a little easier, I’ve complied my ultimate guide to eco friendly stocking stuffers. And, if you’re after even more eco friendly gift ideas, check out my green girl’s gift guide too.
1. Butterbear Bath Bomb
Any of Lush’s festive bath bombs would make a perfect stocking stuffer, but with it’s silky smoothness and delicious scent, the Butterbear is my personal favourite.
LUSH | £2.75
2. Reusable Straw
Americans use enough plastic straws to fill 125 school busses…every single day! The Final Straw is a cute, convenient alternative to single use straws that you can carry with you wherever you go.
The Final Straw | $24.50
3. Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Cream
Hand cream is a must at this time of year and The Body Shop’s cruelty free Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Cream is my go-to.
The Body Shop | £5.00
4. Rose Lollipop Lip Balm
No one wants to be left hovering around under the mistletoe with dry, cracked lips. Luckily, we have lip balm for that!
LUSH | £7.50
5. 4 Ocean Bracelet
Not only are 4 Ocean bracelets made from 100% recycled materials, but for every bracelet that’s purchased, one pound of rubbish gets pulled out of the ocean. Now that’s a Christmas gift you can feel good about giving!
4 Ocean | $20
6. Foldable Shopping Bag
For the eco-warrior in you life – a handy reusable bag that they can fold up and take along with them wherever they go.

For the cruelty free makeup lover who wants the world to know it.

10. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Once you use a makeup sponge, you’ll never go back!

Giving up leather certainly doesn’t mean giving up quality…or style for that matter!
Shoptiques | £99
14. NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray
A must-have to keep that Christmas party face in place all night long, the NYX matte finish setting spray keeps makeup from slipping and sliding and banishes oil.

15. Peppermint Organic Essential Oil
Essential oils are always handy to have around the house and there’s no better time to fill your home with the smell of peppermint.
