As I have been looking for gifts I have found some good ideas so thought I would share them here.

And maybe others will have some ideas as well.

Replacement for Plastic Bags and containers ...

I found this great place to get re-usable bags / bowls instead of ziplock.

https://www.stasherbag.com/

They have some really cute sandwich holders and lunch containers too.

I am getting some for myself and for stocking stuffers or gifts,

Also I follow Free the Ocean and got an email today with Eco-Friendly Christmas Ornaments and Wrapping Paper. They look so cute, but I don't do a tree anymore, so wanted to share.

they have alternate paper towel and toilet paper solutions, but I thought the box was funny since its says Who gives a Crap on the outside.

Last year I gave hand made soaps to some friends and my doctor and his staff. Schelli has sales and I used one of those when I ordered. Just get on the email list or follow on social media.

Eco friendly, small business, etc.

And people loved them.

I found the most comfortable neck pillow I have ever tried. I got two for the house and I will get some for stocking stuffers. I even watch tv wearing this! It comes with ear plugs, eye mask, and a travel bag. It has a little front clip to keep it on and in place as well.

It's a special discount right now for prime members. Only $10.30!

Last year I made coasters and placemats from pictures from the Adult Mandala colouring books. Heartwarming to see people excited about something crafty I'd made myself. The laminating was expensive but worth it.

Here is a site that has reusable dishcloths and other eco friendly things that could be stocking stuffers.

I love the idea of the stasher bags in place of ziplock bags. Has anyone every washed one and how did that go? Are they easily airdried if handwashed?

I also like the idea of the silicone covers for lemons. Anyone have experience with those?

Kappy, I ordered a starter pack and haven't gotten them yet but the website does indicate they are easily washed and reused.

True Sugar, but you don't have to buy anymore. I did get a discount because I signed up for the email.

Kappy, I hand wash my Stasher bags and it goes well. I dry them by opening them over two plate or cup holders on my dish rack. They dry pretty quickly. If I need one sooner, I can dry the inside with a dish towel. I have used them in the refrigerator and freezer but have never cooked in them.

Thank you Dipo and Mak for your replies concerning the stashers. I was just looking at them again today. Lol, I see Stasher sells a wooden drying rack as well.

Hahahaha, I got the email today about the drying rack, made me chuckle.

I was thinking it would be easy to dry them by draping them over the glass holders in my dishwasher. I only run my dishwasher when I run out of coffee mugs and I have 8, LOL.

Oh and I got an email for "caring for your Stasher bags" and it shows them in the dishwasher top shelf as dishwasher safe.

WOW, the Stasher packages have a good mark down in time for Christmas gifts ...

https://www.stasherbag.com/pages/bundles

$30 off the starter kit and everything else is cheaper as well.

Oh, I see after reading further, LOL, some things are 30% off.

Not cheap, but I did buy a package at some point.

And I bought sandwich bags on sale (not the best colors though) and packed some other little items in those to give to several friends and my doctor's staff and my doctor.

So thanks for that suggestion, Dipo.

Great Seamonkey, I got a package and gave my sister some to use for her lunches, she loves them.
