Your eco-minded friend carries a reusable bag everywhere, refuses plastic straws and has a compost bin they're quietly proud of. Buying them a gift that ends up in landfill is not an option.
Here are gifts made from recycled material, built to be used for years, with a joke that makes them more fun to carry.
Made from recycled material
Blue Q's totes, zipper pouches, pencil cases and coin purses are made from 95% post-consumer recycled material, which means material that's already been used once.

- A Dogs Are Expensive or Kids Are Expensive coin purse.
Things that last
The most sustainable gift is one that gets used, and kept. Objects people love get looked after. That's why we think a funny tote is greener than a plain one: nobody leaves their favourite bag behind.

How to give an eco gift
- Skip the wrapping paper. Wrap it in a tote or a scarf instead.
- Make it useful. A bag they'll use daily beats a decoration.
- Tell them what it's made from. They'll want to know.
