Give Eco-Friendly Kitchen Accessories
Make their kitchen a little greener with accessories made from recycled materials, like the reBoard, a BPA-free cutting board crafted from kitchen plastic scraps and renewable sugarcane. Not only is this board environmentally friendly, but it’s also stylish, available in six playful colors, and 50% of the proceeds from the color To Po-Po with Love benefits the organization Heart of Dinner, which delivers care packages to senior citizens in the Asian-American Pacific Islander community in New York City.
Bring a Campfire Anywhere

Green Up Their Workshop
Whether the craftsman in your life is starting out or an old pro, some top-notch tools make every project a little easier. Seek out Energy Star-certified cordless power tools, which use as much as 30% less energy than power tools that don’t feature the ENERGY STAR® label.

Reduce Waste in the Home Office
Keeping your home office organized is one of the main challenges of remote work. Scribbled reminders on sticky notes quickly add up, cluttering your space and wasting paper. The glass dry-erase desktop easel from Quartet eliminates that waste, allowing users to jot down notes and easily erase them at the end of the day. This clipboard can stand upright or lie horizontally, fitting perfectly and easily onto any desk space, making it one of the best Christmas gift ideas for remote workers.
Give Flowers That Last Forever
Flowers easily beautify any space, but they require frequent water changes and eventually end up in the trash. Instead of cut flowers, offer your loved one an arrangement that will last forever and is just as bright and colorful. The LEGO® Flower Bouquet is a 756-piece luxury set that features 15 roses, daisies, and asters. This set can be purchased fully assembled or in pieces, giving the recipient a delightful activity to complete. fully assembled or in pieces, giving the recipient a delightful activity to complete.
Enjoy a Bigger Screen
While large televisions are more energy-efficient than they used to be, they still contribute to significant household energy consumption. They even continue to use power when turned off. Give the gift of a big-screen experience without the added energy loss with a mini pocket projector. Users can easily connect their smartphone to the projector to watch movies, sports, or play video games on a massive screen.
Simplify Cooking
Making meals for a single person can be challenging, and using the oven is a major energy-waster. Instead, a compact air fryer can quickly cook a wide variety of foods, takes up minimal counterspace, and consumes less energy than most everyday appliances. This model is available in five colors to fit with any kitchen design aesthetic.
Help Pet Parents Save Energy
Pet owners adore their furry best friends, but whenever the dog needs to go outside climate-controlled air is lost to the outdoors, increasing energy bills. The best solution: an energy-efficient pet door. It allows dogs to go outside whenever they want, and the insulated, airtight seal will prevent lost energy.
Let Students Charge Their Devices on the Go
College students have at least two things in common: their backpacks and mobile devices are essentials. They carry phone chargers so they can power up at a moment’s notice, but what if they could power their electronics without scouring the campus for an outlet? One of the best Christmas gift ideas for students in your life is a solar backpack that will harness the sun’s energy. One hour spent in the sun can give a typical phone about three hours of battery life, and they can get a full charge from about four or five hours outside. sun’s energy.

Made of bamboo, the Luna Blanket is both cool and comforting, allowing the user to get a restful night’s sleep (and turn down their smart thermostat). Weighted blankets also have mental health benefits, stimulating serotonin production and decreasing the production of stress hormones.
