Thoughtful, planet-friendly gifts perfect for every stocking
Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer? Look no further.
As an agency that takes pride in being small and mighty, we have a sweet spot for big things that come in small packages, which is why we pulled together four under-$25 picks from brands in the OSC (One Step Closer) community. OSC is a collective of mission-driven companies committed to sustainability and social impact, which means that its member brands hold the highest standards for ingredients, suppliers, and climate impact. Each item on this list is practical, planet-conscious, and thoughtfully made.
If you’re curating stockings for loved ones this year, these are the kinds of essentials that you can feel good about giving.
Dr. Bronner’s Organic Peppermint Lip Balm; $3.99
We love this balm because it does exactly what you want in the dead of winter: protects and soothes chapped lips. Dr. Bronner’s uses organic beeswax and fair-trade oils like avocado, hemp, and jojoba to create a formula that is clean and simple with a peppermint hit that is cooling without being overpowering.
Essential Oxygen Organic Bamboo Toothbrushes (4-Pack); $15.00
This is one of those gifts people don’t realize they need until they try it. We love this 4-pack because it makes the switch to a plastic-free toothbrush feel easy and natural. The organic bamboo handles and plant-based bristles offer a clean brushing experience, and the whole set feels like a quiet sustainability upgrade that actually sticks. It’s practical, planet-friendly, and just the right size for a stocking.
Fat and the Moon Conditioner Bar; $20.00
We love this conditioner bar for how surprisingly luxurious it feels. It’s creamy without being heavy, thanks to plant-powered, biodegradable ingredients and nourishing botanicals. And because it comes as a solid bar, it cuts down on plastic waste and slips easily into a gym bag or carry-on. This one tends to convert even the most loyal of bottle conditioner-loyal users.
Kuli Kuli Marine Glow Superfood Blend; $19.99
This one might take up half the stocking, but it is worth it. An easy addition to someone’s daily routine, we love how Kuli Kuli blends nutrient-rich moringa with marine botanicals to support skin health, hydration, and overall vitality. It mixes effortlessly into morning smoothies, which makes it a gift that feels both thoughtful and useful, especially post-holidays, as people look to recharge and implement New Year’s resolutions.
At the end of the day, the best stocking stuffers are the ones people actually use. These under-$25 picks from OSC’s mission-driven brands are as practical as they are delightful: the ideal sustainable mini-indulgences. We hope you and yours enjoy them as much as we do.
