Looking for some zero waste stocking stuffers? I hear you: Every year I challenge myself to come up with creative, low waste gifts to fill them with. Which is important, considering the smaller the plastic item, the less likely it’ll actually get recycled (tiny plastic easily gets lost in the recycling system). That’s why I’ve curated a bunch of these mini zero waste gifts, perfect for slipping into a Christmas stocking. There’s variation of items from makeup to toolkits! Each promotes a sustainable lifestyle and comes with minimal (if any!) plastic packaging. Best of all, I’ve organized it from least expensive to most, so it fits every budget. There’s absolutely NOTHING from Amazon. Everything comes from small businesses that could really use the money this holiday season – and won’t make a billionaire richer.
