We are so excited to present you with a sustainable gift guide featuring 100+ websites to shop small for ethical and sustainable gift ideas this season + beyond! Eeeee! All shops are #ecoclubapproved, meaning they are independently owned, support ethical production or handmade techniques, and practice sustainability. Of course, sustainability in commerce is a spectrum, this list contains both zero waste brands and those who are passionate about sustainability but still have a ways to go–and with your support will get there! This post has been updated for the 2024 gifting season to omit any shops no longer operating and include those we’ve found and loved this year.

100+ websites to shop small
Choosing ethical and sustainable practices is a huge investment for small shops, and it can be a real risk for those with already tight margins. Slow production also means sourcing materials and creating in lower quantities, which can increase costs as well. Keep in mind that no one has it all figured out.
Want to shop small but have your own budget to be mindful of (uh yes!)? Make sure to review each brand’s website for exclusives such as discounts when signing up for their newsletter!
