What can you give to someone who wants to produce less trash? Here are three gifts for friends and family who want to reduce their waste in 2018. These products also support American companies. Check out my three zero waste gifts that I received for my birthday – great stocking stuffer ideas!

Metal straws
Dental lace or silk dental floss
Bamboo toothbrushes
