12 Eco-Friendly Gifts People Will Actually Use This Year

If you’re trying to shop more consciously this holiday season, but still want to give gifts that feel thoughtful, this list is for you. These twelve picks are sustainable, useful, and totally giftable, and all found right here at Refillism.

Let’s get into it.

1. Wool Sponges (2-Pack)

A customer favorite for a reason. They’re soft enough for hands and body, sturdy enough for dishes, and last far longer than traditional sponges. Perfect for minimalists and kitchen people alike.

2. Metal Scrubber

For the cast-iron, grill, or cookware lover in your life. This stainless steel chainmail scrubber cleans without chemicals and lasts basically forever. Great stocking stuffer.

 

3. Refillable Hanging Air Freshener Diffusers

A little bottle of cozy vibes. Patchouli Lavender and Vanilla Juniper are both natural, warm, and refillable,  perfect for cars, closets, and homes.

4. Swedish Dishcloth

The “one sheet replaces 17 paper towel rolls” hero. They’re cute, absorbent, long-lasting, and always a hit as an add-on or stocking stuffer.

5. Bamboo Pot Scraper

Small, mighty, and endlessly useful for scraping pots, baking sheets, and even ceramic cooktops. A great under-$10 gift that gets used daily.

6. Dish Brush

A bamboo + sisal dish brush that looks good by the sink and works like a dream. Pair it with a Swedish dishcloth or solid dish soap for an easy kitchen bundle.

 

 

7. Eco-Friendly Pet Poo Bags

For the dog parents. These are biodegradable, sturdy, and way cuter than the ones from the big-box pet aisle.

8. Car Vent Air Freshener (Refillable)

Sleek, modern, and refillable with any scent oil. It makes an unexpected but super practical gift — especially for car lovers or commuters.

9. I’m With Her Tote Bag

A reusable classic with a message. Sturdy, stylish, and perfect for errands, grocery runs, school pickups, or farmers markets.

10. Reusable Coffee Filters

A great gift for coffee lovers who want to ditch single-use filters. Handmade, washable, and long-lasting.

 

 

 

11. Wave Soap Dish

The wavy design helps your bar soap dry faster and last longer. Looks beautiful in any bathroom or kitchen.

12. Teak Oil Perfume

A warm, earthy roll-on scent that’s become a customer favorite. Luxurious, compact, and perfect for travel, stockings, or self-care bundles.
