Which Sustainable Birthday Gift Ideas is the best for you?
- Not A Boring Gift – Crypto Gift
Even if you don’t know much about cryptocurrency yet, the crypto gift is some of the best digital gifts out there because it’s essentially an investment in the future instead of just giving someone cash (not that there’s anything wrong with cash!). The cryptocurrency present is one-of-a-kind, valuable, and encourages you to learn more. Email Bitcoin or Ethereum to your buddy. Regardless of how much experience you or your friend have in the space, you can get started with crypto quickly and safely with Not A Boring Gift.

The kit arrives in a nice box (making it an excellent gift) and includes 5 small candles and 5 big ones, as well as 5 pre-made large candles so that you can get started right away.
- Recycled wine glasses

Plastic is one of the main polluters when it comes to the ocean, with water bottles and takeaway coffee cups being key culprits. Why not try a refillable bottle? Not only do they help limit plastic waste in our oceans, but they come in lots of super stylish designs.
For added eco flair, get one with a built-in filter so your friend can drink straight from nature’s source whenever they want!

- The Zero-Waste Kit
A zero-waste kit includes everything you need to start down the path toward a plastic-free life. This can be a great birthday gift for someone who is just beginning their journey in the sustainability world, or even if they’ve been doing it for a while but could use some new ideas and inspiration.
