DAY 9 OF JAR'S 12 DAYS OF ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS: LIGHT WEIGHT SMALL STOCKING STUFFERS
I know that many of us (especially if you live in Florida) don’t have fireplaces for Santa to squeeze through, so he has to find other ways to deliver his special gifts and stocking stuffers. Without fireplaces, we often find other ways to hang stockings - one of which is by using those removable hooks on our walls or doors. Since those hooks have weight limits, I thought I’d give you some light weight options to fill those stockings while staying zero waste!
GoSili Reusable Straws
This tiny tin pictured above is filled with the straws you see in the truck. It’s a great item that takes up minute space in your handbag or if you don’t travel with a purse, you can just keep it in your car in the center console or glove box. (Image courtesy of GoSili Instagram Page).
Humble Vegan Plastic-Free Gum
This light weight stocking stuffer option is packed with flavor and I actually prefer it to other chewing gum. Not only is it free of plastic wrapping, but it’s also vegan! Great option if you’re looking to buy for vegan friends or family. It’s also actually bubble-worthy gum too. I was shocked! Warning: Keep this away from your pets as it does contain Xylitol. Humble chewing gum is officially my new favorite!
Tongue Scraper
Look, I’m a fanatic about my breath. I can’t walk into a conversation wondering if someone’s going to talk about my breath later. This tongue scraper is a perfect gift for people like me. Plus, instead of using pesky plastics that are going to go to the landfill after they’re used, this one can be sterilized and maintain its integrity so it can be used for a lifetime.
Mini Bamboo Sporks
These mini sporks are really for people who don’t want to carry around a whole set of reusable utensils, but still want to do their part to eliminate plastic utensils. These mini bamboo sporks are so lightweight they may as well not weigh a thing!
If you’re looking to go zero waste in big ways or small, I encourage you to check out the entire Jar online shop. There’s so much there that would make someone’s holiday so much brighter. Plus, the planet will thank you for it.
