Earth Day is an important day each year when we all pay tribute to the environment and explore ways to protect and maintain it. And while it isn’t traditionally a gift-giving holiday, it’s a beautiful excuse to find eco-friendly spins on all of our favorite ways to be thoughtful.
Here’s some of our favorite eco-friendly Earth Day gifts that make the perfect planet-friendly present, every day.

Use it for everything from grocery shopping to carrying lunch to work and doing daily errands.
