Affordable, Sustainable Gift IDeas
If you’re on a budget, have a lot of gifts to buy, or are looking for smaller gifts to send through the mail, this gift guide is for you. All of the eco-friendly and ethically-made gifts on this guide are under $100, and many of them are under $50. The joy of gift-giving doesn’t have to break the bank!
Why Affordability is Important to sustainability
Affordability and accessibility is a crucial part of true sustainability. If it’s not accessible to the majority, then “sustainability” is just another exclusive for the elites of our society. That’s why—while I also don’t believe that a $5 t-shirt can be truly sustainable either—I strive to recommend sustainable and ethical brands and products at lower price ranges as much as possible.

5) Chalk Print Scarf from Obakki
Price: $72
This beautiful scarf from Obakki’s “Scarves for Water” collection benefits Mayual, South Sudan, a village of families that fled warfare. They now face extreme hunger and poverty as they struggle to create a new life from nothing, and a lack of water can stop progress before it starts. When Obakki sells 500 of these limited-edition scarves, 100% of net proceeds will go directly toward drilling a water well in Mayual, changing every life for the better. They have several different gorgeous patterns and bold colors to choose from!
