Gifts for the Coffee Lovers
Double German Glass French Press Coffee Maker
Who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee from a French press? This Supreme Kitchen French press is plastic-free and uses double German borosilicate glass making it strong and thermal-shock resistant. I can’t tell you how many glass French presses we have broken in our house! It has a 4-stage filtration system, is lead and cadmium free and has a 3 year replacement guarantee. Grab yours here.
Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
We have had this machine for almost 7 years and it has paid for itself over and over again! I have never had a single problem with it (knock on wood). It has a built in grinder, making it ideal for smaller spaces. The best part about this machine is that it is easy to use, so you don’t have to have barista experience to use it. This espresso machine has a single boiler, but they do make a double boiler version, so you can pull shots and steam milk at the same time. Check it out here.
Lifver Ceramic Coffee Mug Set of 4
I love the shape of these mugs! They are lead and cadmium free, dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe. The best part is that these mugs are 20% off on Amazon right now, get yours here.
My Favorite Coffee Brands
If you are going to be giving a coffee maker, better give some coffee too! Purity and Kion are my two favorite brands of coffee. They both use fair-trade, shade grown, specialty grade and organic beans. The best part is that they test for mold and mycotoxins to ensure you are drinking the best quality coffee for your health. Read my review of each brand here. Use promo code JENNCGC15 for 15% off Kion coffee or promo code JENNCGC20 for 20% off Purity coffee.
Clevr Blends Gift Set
It’s no secret that I am obsessed with Clevr Blends SuperLattes. These medicinal mushroom lattes just got added to Oprah’s Favorite Things list for 2021! This Holiday Gift set comes with two bags of SuperLatte mix (pick from Chai, Matcha, Golden Milk or Coffee), a wooden scoop, frother and flower sprinkles. Read all about why I love these superlattes here. Get this holiday gift set here. Use promo code JENNCGC15 for 15% off your order.
Gifts for the Cooks
Handmade Solid Wood Cutting Boards
We only use wood cutting boards in our house and I prefer them to be all one piece of wood (no glue), but they tend to be pretty expensive. However, I just found this Etsy store, Farmhill Woodshop, with some really nice affordable ones! Each board is handmade with locally sourced wood in Illinois. They finish each board with flaxseed oil and beeswax, so it’s totally non-toxic! They offer lots of different trays and different sized boards, make sure you get a smaller sized one if you want to avoid the glue. See all their products here.

Cast Iron Dutch Oven
I’ll be honest, I never really saw the point in a Dutch oven until I got my husband one for his birthday a while back. Now I absolutely love it! This Lodge 5QT. Dutch Oven is great because you can use the lid as a skillet, so you get a Dutch oven and a skillet. Lodge cast iron cookware is made in the U.S. in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Click here to check it out.
Instant Omni Plus Air Fryer
I bought this air fryer this past summer and I love it. It has 10 different functions- air fry, broil, bake, roast, dehydrate, reheat, rotisserie, toast, warm and convection oven. It heats up extremely fast and makes baking smaller items so much easier than using the oven. I like heating up leftovers in it to avoid the microwave and making bacon in it is a breeze. The beeps it makes can get annoying, but just press and hold the center knob to turn off the sound. It has a non-stick PFOA/PTFE-free interior, but it doesn’t say what the interior is made of. See it here.
Gifts for the Eco-Conscious Consumer
Lisse Saftey Razor
A stainless steel safety razor is the perfect gift for anyone, especially someone who cares about reducing their plastic consumption. Safety razors are cheaper in the long run, last forever and have recyclable blades. The Lisse safety razor comes in rose gold and black, use promo code JENNCGC10 for 10% off your order. Check out my post here for more information, why I love mine and why everyone should switch to a safety razor. Get yours here.
Reusable Organic Cotton Produce Bags
Reusable bags, of any kind, make great gift idea on any holiday gift guide. Especially for someone who is working on reducing their waste. These are the perfect way to avoid the use of single-use plastics when buying produce. The tare weight is listed on the side on a tag, so the checker can subtract that weight when buying produce by weight. I like to put the product sticker on the tare tag to make it easier for the checker to know what’s inside. Get them here. Check out some similar ones on Earth Hero here and get 10% off with promo code CLEANGREEN10.
Stasher Bags
Here I come with the Stasher bags again! You guys, I can’t recommend these enough, they make such a great gift! You could even make some goodies and put them inside the bag to give as a gift. Stasher bags are made of platinum silicone and are dishwasher, freezer, microwave and even oven safe. Each Stasher bag replaces thousands of single-use plastics. So far, Stasher has prevented over 1 billion single-use plastic bags from ending up in our oceans or landfills. They come in several different sizes and tons of colors and prints. I also recommend a drying rack to hang these bags to dry on, it makes life way easier. Here’s one I like.
Check price on Stasher website here. *Stasher’s Black Friday sale is going on now through December 1st. 25% off everything, 30% off select styles.* Amazon price here. Check price on Earth Hero here. Get 10% off on Earth Hero’s website with promo code CLEANGREEN10.
Reusable Water Bottles
Everyone loves a nice water bottle, right? They make such great gifts, I had to include a couple on this gift guide. I have found two that I love that don’t have any plastic! This Yomious glass water bottle is made with borosilicate glass, has a silicone sleeve and is BPA, PVC, lead and cadmium free. It has a leak-proof bamboo lid, holds 20oz and is good for hot or cold water. This Triple Tree stainless steel water bottle comes in 17oz, 26oz and 34oz, it is also BPA and lead-free. You can choose from insulated and uninsulated.

You can choose from a single box, 3 month subscription or 6 month subscription.

Primally Pure
Primally Pure is one of my favorite companies, their deodorant is hands down, my very favorite. They use real, certified organic ingredients that are sourced with care and from family-owned farms, when possible. You won’t find any nasty or questionable ingredients in any of their products. The holiday set or starter kit would make great gifts, but they also offer gift cards and loads of other great gift ideas. They even have a couple beard oils for the bearded man in your life.

Gifts for the Home
Macrame By Dee
Macrame is really coming back and I am here for it! All these pieces are handmade to order on Camano Island, Washington. Deanna will customize any item and will accommodate custom requests. Check out her Etsy store here.
Solo Stove
This portable stainless steel fire pit is specifically designed to minimize smoke. The double wall design features holes to maximize air flow helping the wood burn efficiently, creating less smoke. The bottom stays cool, so you can set it anywhere and not worry about it burning the surface. It is lightweight and perfect for taking camping. I was skeptical of these at first, but now that I have used one, I am totally sold! I hate getting smoked out by a campfire and I haven’t had that problem with the Solo Stove. Check it out here.
Mellanni 100% Organic Cotton Flannel Sheet Set
What holiday gift guide would be complete without some sheets? My husband and I have been obsessed with flannel sheets since I got us some last Christmas. We even had them on our bed in the summer, seriously! This set is 100% organic cotton and the price can’t be beat! Currently these are 25% off on Amazon and are less than $55 for all sizes, including California King! There are 13 different colors and prints, but not all of them are organic, so make sure to double check if you are looking for organic. Check them out here.
Hu Chocolate
Last, but certainly not least, is my favorite chocolate, Hu. I think I’ve recommend this chocolate on almost every gift guide, that’s how great it is! Hu chocolate is made with simple ingredients that they “obsessively vet”. Their chocolate bars are paleo, vegan, organic, soy free, refined sugar free, with no emulsifiers or soy lecithin. This limited edition winter collection comes with almond crunch, hazelnut coffee, gingerbread and pumpkin spice. You can also pick your own flavors and make your own bundle. They also have grain free crackers, cookies, chocolate covered hunks and chocolate gems. See the winter collection here. Build your own bundle here.
