This sustainable gift guide for the wellness enthusiast continues to feature brands and items that support a more environmental approach to the holidays and living, overall. When choosing to purchase from these gift guides, you are not only helping to support my content—at no cost to you (I may receive a small commission from the stores if someone makes a purchase through my link), but you’re choosing to support local economies, small businesses, creators, and use your purchasing power to show that ethics and the environment are a shopper’s priority.
To recap, a sustainable gift uses materials that are environmentally friendly — ones that don’t harm or exploit the earth. Second, the brand is committed to providing information on how they source their materials, run the supply chain, and approach sustainability/environmental priority. Lastly, the items featured as sustainable gifts are produced and selected with longevity in mind—not needing to be replaced after a few usages. They’re durable and intended to last a lifetime or until the product is completely gone.

3. Gift An Elevated Shaving Experience, $18-132
2 billion razors are thrown away in the USA every year. These razors and blades are part of the epidemic that is avoidable waste. Using sustainable razors or “shavers” will help to save money on all those pesky repurchases, encourage higher quality and cleaner shaving, and save the planet from incurring more preventable waste.
Shavers
Well kept is a great brand that offers high-quality products and helps to elevate the shaving experience for all genders. I will say, the prices may deter someone, but before you disregard them, know this is a ONE-TIME purchase price.
One Well Kept razor is the average price of 5 disposable razors ($12.99) marketed for women.
One Well Kept razor is the average price of 7 disposable razors ($9.99) marketed for men.
How it works: the blades are replaceable. Each blade lasts 5-8 shaves. Disposable razors may last anywhere from 1-8 shaves depending on the brand, blade sharpness, and more. The Well Kept blades guarantee at least 5 shaves and cost $16 for a pack of 20 blades. That’s 100 guaranteed shaves for $16, yearly. – link to this https://keepwellkept.com/products/safety-razor-blades
Shaving Accessories
These shaving accessories help to support the overall shaving experience. The soap saver helps to waste less product by providing proper storage for the product. Shave oil is great to use to help prevent nicks and burns—be sure to follow the usage directions. The razor wrap is great for ensuring the blades are safely stored—especially if pets or children are in the home. Plus, the oil and soap bundle saves money on purchasing two items, together.

15. Peloton App Subscription, Try It 60 Days Free
The monthly app subscription is $12.99. Student discounts are $6.99. Military discounts are $9.99
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a Peloton exercise machine to participate in their community or workouts. The app offers many classes from bodyweight workouts to shadowboxing, weight training, barre, pilates, guided outdoor walking experiences, and guided runs. This at-home workout membership option is significantly lower than most boutique gym prices. I’ve included this because they stream internationally, and do not program their classes based on weight loss but instead focus on strength and mental well-being. The app is also available in multiple languages and offers a variety of music in their classes—the kind you actually want to exercise to. Lastly, it’s more fully accessible with modified workouts and stretches for those who are disabled. The student discount also offers those on student budgets the option to participate at a lower rate—which is again significantly lower than other boutique gyms offering the same classes.
But, what about Peloton’s sustainability?
While the company isn’t a leader in sustainability, I believe well-being and movement are important for everyone—it helps to process what the mind/body is going through, strengthen the immune system, decrease stress, and so much more Exercise is about more than losing weight and the variety of classes on this app prove that. Plus, for those in high-powered careers, working long hours, navigating stressful situations, or without a car or living in a walkable city, it’s difficult to get to a physical gym. This app makes it more accessible, which is another very important component of living sustainably. Sustainable living is about keeping up with routines that won’t make you burnt out or cost you resources, and time, or encourage the purchase of things like a car in order to do an activity or participate in something. App-based workouts can be done from an internet-based device that supports the app/website.
