ByMicaela Preston Posted on

Don’t you love the feeling of finding just the right gift for someone? Something that will make their eyes light up and put a genuine smile on their face. Something magical that will bring joy to their lives. Something special that they would not have bought for themselves.

I find that the best gifts are meaningful, helpful, healthy and a little bit indulgent. I go for gifts that are good for my people and for the planet. No dust-gathering tchotchkes. Only delightfully useful, eco-friendly gifts sprinkled with a little bit of fairy dust for good measure.

Here are my top eco-friendly gift ideas that are sure to surprise and delight!
