15 Eco Friendly Wedding Gift Ideas All Newlyweds Will Love

These eco friendly wedding gift ideas will make any couple super happy!

By Lora O’Brien

Wedding season is happening right now, and who doesn’t absolutely adore celebrating the love between two fellow humans?

Sure, a cash contribution towards a honeymoon is always a great idea, but many will still want to give a physical gift to the happy couple.

Whether you’re compiling a planet-friendly registry for upcoming nuptials, or are looking to present something memorable to a couple you love, these eco friendly wedding gifts below will fit the bill.

Sustainable Gift Ideas For Newlyweds

1. An Eco-Friendly Coffee Machine

Give the newlyweds the gift of delicious coffee. Perfect for their mornings together, the Bruvi coffee machine has a sleek design and is every bit as functional as it is beautiful. The machine brews seven types of drinks, from espresso and Americanos to cold brews – and even matcha!

What makes this coffee maker eco friendly is the fact that its pods are super sustainable. Unlike, say, Nespresso pods that are allegedly recyclable (but are in fact very difficult to recycle – and even that takes loads of energy to do), these ones contain bio-enzymes that quickly break down in landfills without leaving any harmful microplastics behind.

Price: Around $348

2. Stainless Steel Kettle

Did you know that most kettles contain aluminium and/or plastic? Repeated boiling of these result in a very toxic cuppa. So why not give the gift of an electric kettle that’s actually healthy?

This one below is made from non toxic stainless steel and wood.

It’s available in various shades, is quick to heat, and allows you to choose your desired temperature.

We love the minimalist design of this kitchen essential, but if you don’t, we have lots more eco-friendly kettle options here, for all budgets.

3. Stylish Stoneware Bowls

Say goodbye to plastic Tupperware forever!

Hokan bowls are made in the centuries-old tradition of stoneware. They’re designed to store food, and they’re oven, dishwasher and microwave safe.

Available in many colours and three sizes, these stackable bowls are consciously made in Portugal. Not only that, but all their packaging is recycled and recyclable, and their glazing process involves applying natural minerals to the base coat surface. When fired, the reaction results in a spontaneous and glorious organic finish that’s safe for all your culinary needs.

4. Sustainable Bedding

So what goes on between the sheets is between the married couple and them alone. But what they’re made of? Yep! We care.

We don’t want anyone to be sleeping in chemical-ridden sheets. And thanks to toxic dyes, fabric finishes and petroleum based fibres, many of them are. But gifting these gorgeous sheets by renowned brand Avocado will help the newlyweds sleep in total comfort.

They’re silky soft, made with natural dyes and organic cotton with a 300-thread count.

The newlywed couple can enjoy lazy mornings in total comfort!

5. Eco Cookware

By now we all know just how toxic non-stick and aluminium pots and pans are. So you can never go wrong gifting toxic-free cookware!

A popular brand to gift is Caraway. They cater to all budgets. And whether you opt for a set of sleek wooden chopping boards, some kitchen prep tools or splurge on a set of enamel cookware, these kitchen gifts will be much appreciated.

And the best part? There are lots of gorgeous shades to choose from, so they will blend with their home interior, too!

6. A Knife Sharpener

If you know of newlyweds who take cooking seriously, they will greatly appreciate this Tormek knife sharpener.

Any good cook knows that you need sharp utensils for precision slicing and dicing. And this Torket sharpener will keep all kinds of knives running smoothly every time.

Why is this gift sustainable? Well, because it means the couple will have one set of knives for their whole lives.

Many conventional methods don’t fully sharpen the knife, but instead realign a folded edge or hone parts of the edge. This can work as maintenance, but soon you’ll notice that you’re not getting the same sharpness as before. You then need to replace your knife set.

However, this machine sharpens the entire bevel of the knife, not just the outer edge, with minimal metal removal. The result is professional sharpness in a matter of minutes, and a knife set that lasts forever.

6. A Non Toxic Mattress

I know what you’re thinking. ‘So, you think it’s a good idea to haul an organic mattress to a wedding, all wrapped up? LOL.’ Well, no. Obviously! But what you can do is give the lucky couple a voucher for one.

Of course, there are plenty of companies that make non-toxic mattresses in the USA and UK. But we think Dreamcloud is one of the best.

Not only do they have a mattress for every taste, but they also guarantee their products for thirty days. That means your recipients can return it with no guilt and no penalties! Oh, and health professionals, first responders and military members get a major discount, too.

8. Luxurious Organic Towels

These luxurious waffle towels will turn any home’s bathroom into a spa. Perfect for pampering your skin and hair, they’re free from harmful chemicals and are delicate for the skin.

The soft bamboo material absorbs without trapping moisture and even offers gentle exfoliation to the skin, so it’s always soft and supple. And if you’re thinking: oh, bamboo needs loads of chemicals to become textiles, think again! Ettitude’s CleanBamboo is created through a totally non toxic, sustainable process.

9. A Plant Subscription Box

Houseplants not only look great and keep the air clean, but they will last a long time if cared for well, too. And a plant subscription box is a great gift, because it keeps on giving!

Yep, recipients can get new plants throughout the year – or you could just do a one-off if you prefer. They look super fancy and come with all the tools and tips needed to thrive.

You can choose to gift a 6 or 12 month subscription. Perfect for gift givers on a budget!

Price: Starting at $36

10. An Organic Cotton Weighted Blanket

Is it even a home if it doesn’t have a thick, heavy blanket you can bury under during the colder months? What better gift to give newlyweds than a blanket they can snuggle under on the sofa. Whether it’s chilling or watching a movie together, this is a gift that will be well loved.

Bearaby’s blankets are made from 100% cotton, and is weighted to help provide additional comfort. It’s even been proven that added weight helps you to fall asleep, too!

Mastering the art of making dim sum. Learning how to read Tarot cards. Exploring the art of making pasta. Whatever you can think of, there’s probably a class for it, and the best part? They can all be done online! Giving the gift of an experience is all about creating memories – not purchasing material goods.

Choose whatever you think the couple in question would love the most. Your gift will be one of the most unique and welcome they’ll receive, guaranteed!
