Eco-Conscious Gift Ideas in Toronto

From Your Local Eco-Friendly Wedding Planning Company

As an eco-conscious wedding planning company, we believe sustainability is not just for your wedding day, it is a lifestyle. That includes the way we gift. Toronto is full of local artisans, makers, and experiences that make for thoughtful, planet-friendly gifts. Whether you are gifting to a loved one, a bridal party member, or even yourself, these are a few curated options that capture the spirit of sustainable and intentional gifting.

LOHN Hand-Poured Candle in a Reusable Vessel

LOHN is a Toronto-area candle maker creating hand-poured, non-toxic candles using coconut and soy wax in glass vessels that are reusable. Once the candle burns out, the vessel can be washed and used as a drinking glass, small vase, or storage container, making it a truly sustainable gift.

Toronto Islands Adventure with Kayak or Canoe

Casa Bianca Hand-Painted Watercolour Portraits

For a gift that is truly one-of-a-kind, Casa Bianca is a Toronto-based watercolour artist who creates custom hand-painted portraits.

How to Build a Thoughtful Eco-Conscious Gift Basket

Combine these three gifts into a small, intentional eco-gift basket. Start with a reusable container, such as a tote bag or cloth wrap. Add the LOHN candle in its reusable vessel for warmth and utility, and include a Walton Wood Farm soap or lotion for a sustainable self-care element. Include a voucher or note suggesting a Toronto Islands kayak adventure to give the gift of a memorable experience.

You can personalize the basket further with a small plant, reusable water bottle, or a locally made treat. Wrap everything in a way that avoids single-use packaging, and include a handwritten note on recycled paper explaining the intentional choices behind each gift. This approach creates a gift that is thoughtful, sustainable, and memorable.

By choosing gifts that are local, sustainable, and experience-focused, you can give thoughtfully while supporting your community and the planet, making every present meaningful and memorable.
