Eco Chic Globetrotter Gift Guide



I'm a shopaholic at heart, so it's no surprise that when the holidays roll around, I'm keen on digging up the greatest gifts available. This year, we've created guides by recipient type, but you can always stroll through our archives of gift guides and travel products for additional eco ideas.

First up - the Eco Chic Traveler Gift Guide, guaranteed to warm the heart of every fresh fashionista on Santa's list. 



Recycled Organic Jewelry Roll ($50)
So sweet, this soft, lemony jewelry roll is by Dogeared and crafted from recycled tees and organic cotton. Inside, you'll find a place to safely store necklaces, as well as two zippered pockets for otherwise easily-lost earrings and bracelets. Naturally, it's made in the USA.





icu Eyewear Eco Sunglasses ($21.95)
In shades like tortoise, red and black, these aviator-style shades make an impact whether you're snoozing during a layover or deckside on a cruise. Made from reclaimed materials, they're the cutest green sunglasses I've seen and also one heck of a deal.




Jane Manvel Jitney Travel Bag ($119)
Outfitted with inside pockets and a handy magnetic snap, this durable tote is a dream find, but as part of Jane Manvel's collection things only get better. All products are completely vegan - without the sky-high price point.


Hemp & Organic Cotton Circle Scarf ($40)
I'm in love with this hand-dyed, organic cotton and hemp circle scarf from Pretty Birdie's Etsy shop, which can be wrapped, slung, or belted for a variety of looks. Not only will it ward the chill on a long flight, it works with warm and cold climates, doesn't take up crucial space, and always looks artfully draped. 


MamaOm Organic Bumble Dress ($90)
The princess cut of this dress makes it a favored go-to that's perfectly packable. Designed with the environment in mind, it's made from 100 percent organic Pima cotton utilizing fair-trade practices and transitions from day (paired with flats and a chunky bracelet) to evening (throw on comfortable wedge heels and layer a few beaded necklaces) in a snap.


Heys Three Piece Eco Luggage Set ($360)
Tough and brilliantly teal, these EcoCases are the first in a series of earth friendly offerings from Heys USA. Made of 100 percent recycled plastic, each lightweight piece of luggae features four spinner-style wheels that make terminal treks a breeze.

I don't have any plans wearing those clothes and accessories but I might consider them as a gift, since they are eco friendly, how cool is that.
