Sustainability is more important than ever, and there's no better time to renew your brand's commitment to protecting the planet than the holiday season. Choosing sustainable gifts for all of your intra-office gift exchanges is a great way to show your company cares about making a positive impact on the environment. Sustainable gifting helps cut back on our reliance on new products and the materials to make them, which helps reduce waste, pollution, and carbon emissions, and contributes to the preservation of natural ecosystems.
Need ideas for your corporate giving? Whether you're rewarding your employees or showing your clients how much they mean to you, these 10 ideas are surefire, sustainable crowdpleasers.

Coconut & Vetiver Candle
Who doesn't love the aroma of fresh baked goods wafting through the air during the holidays? Candles are perfect for holiday gifts, whether you're doing client gifting or saying thank you to your employees for their hard work. And with the Coconut & Velvetir candle from Dilo, it's a sustainable gift idea, too.
This 100% soy, hand-poured candle is free of phthalates and features a cotton wick for an eco-friendly candle that burns cleaner and safer. The bright, fresh scent is perfect for the holidays, with notes of buttered rum, cedarwood, and carnation, in addition to vetiver and coconut. At 10 ounces, it burns for about 60 hours, making it the gift that keeps on giving.
Holly Jolly Upcycled Journal
For the writers on your gifting list, consider the Holly Jolly Upcycled Journal. It's made from recycled products, including cork, pineapple rinds, coffee grounds, and bamboo fibers.
Whether they're recording their holiday experiences or keeping track of who's been naughty and nice, committed journalists can do so to their heart's content while minimizing environmental impact.
VEGEA Vegan Notebook
For a sustainable gifting idea that makes journaling and note-taking low-impact all year round, go for a classy vegan notebook from VEGEA. Their fine journals and notebooks feature vegan covers made from recycled waste from the Italian wine industry and 100% acid-free pages. Plus, as they're part of the Moleskine collection, you can count on quality craftsmanship and recognizable Moleskine design elements like rounded corners, elastic closure, and an "in case of loss" notice on the inside flap.
Recycled Earbuds
From listening to the latest hits to catching up on podcasts, everyone needs a good pair of earbuds. Boost your corporate social responsibility (CSR) this year with eco-friendly earbuds made from recycled materials.
The RCS Standard TWS Earbuds are composed of 50% recycled plastic and entirely free of PVC, and so is the charging case. Featuring Bluetooth 5.0, they promise a smooth connection with a 40-mAh battery for up to four hours of continuous play-time and fast recharging. With the microphone and touch pick-up, you can listen to your favorite holiday tunes and also take calls. Looking out for the planet never sounded better.
Eco Straw Topper
Plastic straws are one contributor to the nearly 15 million metric tons of plastic waste polluting our oceans. They're generally used once, very briefly, before they're tossed in the trash. From there, too many of them make their way to the water, where they can injure and sicken marine life before breaking down into microplastics. Eco straw toppers are an eco-friendly way to enjoy the convenience of straws without wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems. They're a great sustainable gifting idea for stocking stuffers or corporate gifting.
Recycled Soft Shell
The manufacture of clothing is hard on the planet, creating large amounts of waste at every stage of the process and contributing to nearly 10% of global carbon dioxide emissions. One way we can all lessen the environmental impact of our fashion choices is by opting for clothes made partially or entirely from recycled materials. This year, make recycled clothing, like the 100% recycled polyester soft shell jacket, part of your sustainable gifting efforts. It's soft, breathable, and easy on the planet.
Recycled Laptop Backpack
Do your employees and the planet a favor by giving out a recycled-materials laptop backpack. This water-resistant bag from Elleven is made with ripstop polyester for a durable, protective laptop-carrying solution. Featuring vertical front zippered pockets and a drop pocket behind the handle, it allows for convenient and safe laptop transportation with room for accessories and other valuables like:
- Smartphones
- Earbuds
- Wallets, IDs, and passports
- Water bottles
Allbirds Sneakers
Add sustainability to their step with Allbirds sneakers. These comfy, stylish shoes are sustainably made using a range of eco-friendly materials, including shoelaces from recycled water bottles, midsoles from sugar-cane-based green EVA, and insoles from foam derived from corn. The uppers are made from Lyocell eucalyptus tree fiber for a comfy, breathable, lightweight sneaker with a smaller carbon footprint.
Recycled Lunch Cooler
Our final sustainable employee gifting idea helps your employees save money and protect the planet. The recycled lunch cooler is sustainably made using recycled materials so your workforce can say goodbye to wasteful paper and plastic lunch bags without having to order in at lunchtime.
