How about about eco-friendly stocking stuffers? It’s going to be a green holiday season folks – well, hopefully outside it will be white, but with our help the inside can still be green-friendly!
Here are 10 plastic-free and purposeful stocking stuffer ideas that the kiddies are sure to love!
And the best part is that we hand-picked this list so that the items are not only eco-friendly and fun… but they are UNDER 15$!
Plastic-Free Toothbrushes
Get a set of 10 plastic-free toothbrushes for your entire family. Every single part of this wooden toothbrush is plastic-free from the handle to the bristles, and even the wrapper! It lasts just as long as a regular plastic toothbrush would but it is much more environmentally-friendly. Because the bristles are made of pig hair, they can be rendered softer by soaking the bristles in warm water. For a vegan option, see the Brush with Bamboo toothbrush.
This set of 10 toothbrushes for kids and adults is sold at LWP for $64.95 (USD), so about $6.50 per toothbrush.
Hankies
Runny noses and little messes happen and we’ve got you covered. This Hanky Book has 8 pages of removable and reusable hankies that are ready to go. Take one hanky out at a time and close up the book to save the rest for later. Once they are all used, pop them in the washing machine, place them back in the book and start over!
The Hanky Book is sold at LWP for only $9.95 (USD).
Another elegant option is this set of four organic cotton hankies that can also be used as a napkin in a kid’s lunch. The set comes with four hankies featuring four different thread colors.
This set of four hankies is available at LWP for $12.95 (USD).
Kooshoo Hairties
Who knew that even hair ties could be ethical?!
Kooshoo Colorful Hairties are plastic-free and made from natural rubber and the softest organic cotton. They are somehow strong but soft so they keep your hair secure without hurting your head. This company purposely avoids synthetics and pesticide heavy materials and opts for natural and organic alternatives because, as they say, “Nobody does it better than Mother Nature”. Who wouldn’t be happy to get this colorful gift in their stocking? P.S: They also come in Black!
These Kooshoo Hairties are sold at LWP for $15 (USD).

Children’s Cup
This stainless steel cup fits tiny hands and is great for little ones who are just learning because it is basically unbreakable. This cup can be dropped, thrown, and banged around but won’t break because it is built to be child-proof. What’s also great about this particular cup is that it is double-walled so that if you have a nice hot drink in there, the outer layer won’t be as hot to touch as a single layer cup might be.
Fill this mug with warm or cold drinks or even with little snacks.
