A stocking filler that actually gets used? Yes please. Refillable deodorants from Fussy or Wild keep pits fresh and plastic out of landfill - the kind of gift that says “I care about you… and your sustainability goals.

Gift a Plant or Tree

As we wrap up this year’s Sustainable Christmas Gift Guide, we hope you’ve found something thoughtful, meaningful, and maybe even a little magical to gift (or keep for yourself - we won’t judge).
Choosing presents that are kinder to the planet doesn’t mean compromising on joy - in fact, it often makes giving feel even more special. Whether it’s a small eco swap or a long-lasting essential, every choice adds up to a softer, more sustainable festive season.
From all of us at Eleria, we’re wishing you a Christmas filled with comfort, warmth, and little moments that feel good - for you and the world around you!
