lilykoi hawaii | 🎄☃️Holiday Gift Ideas for Conscious Consumers || Sustainable, Kind, & Affordable|| ❄️🎄 @lilykoihawaii | Uploaded December 2017 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Consumerism and the expectation of gift giving isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so this year I'm doing my best to give practical, useful gifts that aren't horrible for our planet. I hope you enjoy!

Stainless steel straws:
Skinny straight and bent: amzn.to/2AsDvNY
Thick Smoothie Straws: amzn.to/2BEDRhM
Don’t worry, they are super easy to clean with the included brush! I’ve even let my smoothies get baked on in the hot car and cleaning was still easy.
Hawaii residents, be warned: cockroaches like to live in these… ALWAYS INSPECT BEFORE USING! 🤮

Wide mouth, tall mason jars I love (usually available locally, too): amzn.to/2BMTPrl
WIDE MOUTH mason jar lids I covet: amzn.to/2iVAorL

BULK hibiscus tea: amzn.to/2iWDo72

Reusable Muslin bags for bulk items (many other brands available, too!): amzn.to/2kqoF4H

Mesh Produce Bags: amzn.to/2kpAx6S

Reusable bags:
The longest lasting, most durable shopping bag I’ve EVER used (it’s bulky af tho): llbean.com/llb/shop/33381?feat=516672-GN1&page=boat-and-tote-open-top&csp=f

Recycled Cotton canvas bags (printed and plain) as well as lots of produce and bulk bag options: ecobags.com
I’ve used Envirosax for years - they’re beautiful, durable, and fold up to fit inside your purse so you’ll never forget your bag again!: envirosax.com

DIY Hair oil (links to oils used on that video): youtube.com/watch?v=XdIULs984ck

Rosewater (8oz bottle): amzn.to/2AYnTTe
1oz sprayers in blue: amzn.to/2ksyPBQ
Or clear: amzn.to/2kqp8nA
These can often be bought individually at health-food or beauty supply stores, too!

My favorite insulated water bottle: 40 oz Hyrdoflask, but many sizes are available! amzn.to/2kyt3yv

Klean Kanteen also has insulated options, too! kleankanteen.com

Brene Brown goodness:
The Gifts of Imperfection: amzn.to/2BND13b
Daring Greatly: amzn.to/2ePCHKh
Rising Strong: amzn.to/2uZMLqx
Braving the Wilderness: amzn.to/2uZONY1

And, of course, the gift of knowledge about health is always a wonderful idea! SOME OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS:

Becoming Vegan: amzn.to/2vKuL0U
Proteinaholic: amzn.to/2h3XtXk

Your best health and most content self is achievable through a healthy lifestyle, centered around abundant whole plant foods and genuine self-care. It’s achievable if you gather the common-sense information, cut the bullshit, and commit to your wellbeing as a real priority.

I also encourage us all to acknowledge our inherent responsibility to protect our environment (currently being decimated by animal agriculture: the leading cause of green house gas emissions) and speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves: the billions of sentient beings who are tortured and slaughtered every year. OUR CHOICES MATTER.
