If you have coworkers who are eco-conscious or you hope to encourage them to be, then a thoughtful gift will certainly convey that you appreciate everything they do as your teammates — all while helping the planet. Besides, showing gratitude for the people you work with is tremendously helpful for boosting morale, building rapport and cultivating a positive work environment. To spread the holiday cheer and the message of sustainability, here is a gift guide for eco-friendly presents for coworkers.
Ecozoi stainless steel lunch box
Stainless steel is better for the environment than plastic because it is meant to last. This stainless steel lunch box is free of BPA, PVC and phthalate. It also comes in recycled packaging that can be reused. A purchase comes with a bonus lunch pod for fruits, healthy snacks or dessert options, making it a great gift for your desk neighbor.
Sustainable notebooks from ECO Imprints
ECO Imprints has long been dedicated to social and environmental responsibility, often promoting positive change for greener merchandise that is recycled, reusable, reclaimed, organic, sustainable or ethically sourced. ECO Imprints has a wide range of notebooks from which to choose, and many of the notebooks are accompanied with eco-friendly pens for a complete gift set.
Namaste water bottle from Yuhme
Made from sugarcane, this water bottle is both BPA- and toxin-free. It is also 100 percent recyclable. The fun design will make everyone at work want one, in turn eliminating plastic bottles in exchange for stylish trips to the water fountain.
HankyBook handkerchiefs
These eco-friendly handkerchiefs are made of 100 percent certified organic cotton. HankyBooks are more sustainable and reusable than disposable paper tissues, thereby keeping our planet (and your work space) greener.
Plantable Sprout pencils
For a sustainable pencil option — made from 100 percent natural clay, graphite and PEFC-/FSC-certified cedar wood — consider Sprout. Once you’ve finished with your Sprout pencil, you can plant the stub and watch it grow into herbs, flowers or vegetables. This is a truly unique and functional gift that you can give to everyone at work.

Living vertical wall garden from Portrait Gardens
Available in three sizes — 4×6, 5×7 or 8×10 — this vertical wall garden allows its recipient to arrange plants (everything from succulents to flowers to herbs, vegetables and more) on a tray, pin them to a securing grid, then frame them, so the plants of choice will be ready for your coworker to display proudly.
Abeego beeswax food wrap
Abeego is renowned for saving honeybees. It is also a company that is sustainable, natural and zero-waste. This food wrap, made with beeswax, can be washed and reused. It’s a much better alternative for wrapping sandwiches or saving half of an avocado from lunch compared to single-use plastic wrap.
Wooden tech accessories from iameco
For more than 20 years, iameco has been crafting sustainable, ecological and high-performance computers, devices and accessories that are free from harmful chemicals. The company’s electronics do not harm the environment nearly as much as mainstream devices, especially given that they operate at a third less power. What’s more, iameco harvests the natural wood used for its electronics, devices and accessories from sustainable forests. As such, a fun wood keyboard or mouse from iameco makes an interesting gift for coworkers who love design, technology and the planet.

Zero-Waste starter kit from Wakecup
This kit has all the eco-friendly essentials: a vegan rucksack, a bamboo and stainless steel water bottle, a bamboo travel mug and two reusable bamboo straws. As Wakecup shares on its website, “Did you know that excluding food packaging, 90 percent of single-use plastic waste comes in the form of bags, bottles, cups and straws?” By giving these to your coworkers, imagine how much greener the Earth becomes as each person reduces their waste!
Compostable phone case from Pela
Pela is widely known as the company with the world’s first 100 percent compostable phone case. Phone cases are a simple way to show coworkers you appreciate them this holiday season, and a compostable phone case means less waste, too.
