When it comes to sustainable gifting, it can be difficult to know where to start. Unlike traditional gift giving, sustainable gifts are about much more than just buying items that meet a certain criteria or sentiment.

Instead, it’s about making more conscious and considerate purchase so that the gift is used and not wasted.

From tech to furniture and home accessories, we’ve crafted a sustainable gift guide to help you shop for the design-forward home or office dweller on your list.

For the Gadget Lover

Sense

Did you know that you can monitor your energy use all on your own?

Energy monitoring devices like the Sense install in your home’s electrical panel and send you information about energy use and the specific energy loads in your home to better inform usage.

Nest Thermostat

Smart thermostats can help reduce energy use by cutting back heating or cooling while you are sleeping or when no one is home.

Before you get—or give—a smart thermostat, check for local utility incentives or rewards programs that reduce the purchase price or pay you to participate in peak demand reduction efforts.

Philips Hue

Smart lighting products use energy-efficient LEDs and can be as simple as a single connected light bulb or light switch, a set of decorative light panels, or a complex integrated lighting system for a room or entire home.

Users have the option to shift from conventional soft white light to a whole rainbow of colors, and also take advantage of a bunch of energy-saving features, such as timers, dimmers, and programmable settings for different tasks or different times of day.
